village idiot :D
I've had the ride on my daughter's lovely big ShireX mare whilst she was at Uni last year. Now she's looking to take the mare up to Uni with her and I'd rather like to have something similar for myself. I thought about another heavier type of horse as I'm no lightweight at 13 stone. *blushes*
What I want to do is some general hacking about, plus some low level competing, mainly dressage, but if I could do some unaff ODE's as well that would be a bonus. Pretty much what I'd intended to do on the big mare really.
After a couple of "issues" with horses which are now field ornaments at home I'd prefer a mare, so I'd like something nice enough that should we have a disaster I could breed a worthwhile foal. I don't mind travelling to find the right horse - our current horses have taken us from Devon to nearly Scotland to find.
So these seemed possibly to fit the bill:
Love the horse, BUT it's a gelding and a bit more than I wanted to spend, also looks like he might be a bit strong for me?
I DO like a grey, she seems sweet and a good weight for me I think?
What does anyone think?
