Anyone NOT sick of horse hunting & wanting to find another? Pretty please?

One you like seems quite a good chose.

Just make sure there is no Impressive in the quarter horse side it was an eye opener to us to nearly see a punch up in a sale room as the hammer went down on a horse that someone stood up and said but it has Impressive in it. It was resold there and than and made $500 ( £300) having just sold for $10,000 a min before.

There are plenty of HYPP N/N Impressive horses these days though?

There could well be Ester as it was nearly 20 years ago we saw the sale ring bust up. Also you have the correct problem of the quarter horse the HYPP which they likened to having epilepse when explaining it to us. With out goggling is PSSM the same or simular ?

There would have been a fair few around by then too, they’ve been testing since 1994. Sadly because plenty of people don’t worry about them being n/h it persists, albeit those genotypes do still get some symptoms.

I wouldn’t liken it to epilepsy because it comes from the muscle not the brain but can see why they did.

I wonder actually if someone said it had ‘impressive syndrome’ which would have meant it was h/h and effected.

Haven't had time to read all the replies, but have a couple of suggestions for ex-racers:
Jumping for fun has a classified ads section.
Retraining of racehorses has an ad section.
Approach local trainers directly, they may have a slow one for sale.
