Anyone been to see this horse - worth a look?

[Storminateacup]

Wonder what is the problem, maybe a bargain for someone who wants a nice youngster to start off?

Plenty of good rock bottom price horses around without buying one with a problem.

 

[Storminateacup]

Depends what the problem is.

unlevel meaning it would fail a vetting in my books

God , my horse is lovely but 'slightly unlevel' reckon I could get a couple of grand for her as a broodmare

So what is wrong with him ?

 

[Storminateacup]

Well if I was close I would go and have a look. He has some good points, bit plump perhaps, nice looking chap from what I can see.
So whats he done to himself then?

 

[Storminateacup]

My horse is unlevel too at times - still does a good job though and not in pain just a mechanical problem.

Do you know what's causing his unlevellness?

He's certainly a handsome chap - did you breed him? Who were his parents??

Tell us a bit about him , Sire Dam etc what happened to him?

 

[hallarider]

Thanks guys for your comments.

Hes had an operation to remove a bone chip due to OCD in his hock joint.

The vet gave him the all clear two weeks ago, but on lungeing him last week, I can see stiffness in the leg that they operated on. The vet still wants me to carry on working him. He also has a tipped pelvis which is making him unlevel which I am having the bowen technique for.

My problem is that I have 5 other horses taking up my time and a toddler as well so I struggle to give him the attention he deserves.

Hes by Lord of the Dance. I own his full brother as well who is 18.1hh!!

Bugger - what a shame.

We had one at my place that was a field ornament for 12 years because of a stifle problem.

He had a very happy life, was the boss of the field and really did not mind not being worked.

Is that an option for this lad??

 

[hallarider]

It is a definate option. Hes such an easy horse to keep as well - he doesn't mind being on his own either. If he doesn't improve in 2-3 months I think thats what he will be!! A bit of a big field ornament though! I have owned him since he was 9 months old so I am very fond of him.

What a shame such a lovely chap! If i had the room i would defo have him but sadly i dont or the money

hallarider you defo gotta keep us posted on him. seems such a nice horse

 

[hallarider]

Thanks guinness, its been an agonising last few months. Will definately keep you posted. I only put the advert out last night just to test the water so to speak, as it would really have to be the right home.

 

[Storminateacup]

Oh is so sad when this happens to a lovely young horse. Will keep my fingers crossed for you both. Somethings get better or maybe he will just have a mechanical unsoundness which causes no discomfort in time.
If he would be suitable for hacking and local dressage I may be interested I like a nice looking horse but not really capable of much at my age!
