Just seen an ad for a horse that would have masses of US resale value, if you want a pally 15.2 connie x (he’s cute too!) #justsaying
Boggle- USA bound!

Thank you everyone!! I am very intruiged to see how today goes. It’s at the end of the day so you will all be asleep by the time I have news!
I spoke to the vet and he’s actually an orthopedic surgeon too so that’s ideal. I gave him the background and my concerns so we will see what comes of it all.
I nearly cancelled it yesterday tbh, but I keep getting drawn back to this horse watching his videos so I figured I’d just proceed and see what happens.
I have still been trawling through sale posts just to see and haven’t seen anything that remotely peaks my interest (with the exception of the grey in the UK that didn’t vet for me)

I totally agree that a probably lame Morgan with really quite bad behavioural issues is probably the one... hahaha.
But hey, Bog was lame pretty much on arrival and did everything a horse could possibly do behavioural wise so... whatever haha.

Fingers crossed your vetting goes well and the toe pointing is just a wee habit.
Fin does it *all the time,* even when chilled. I’ve never thought anything of it, tbh. He just stands like this, as do many of his Dallas herdmates. It does seem to just be a habit.
Ground tied in front of stable today after riding.

If he was standing parked out like Morgans tend to be it could likely be a green horse thing too. I see a lot of less line trained horses that will rest a hind when stood up like that. The old pros not so much.

Apparently they train them to stand like that for showing, and he’s with a showing person so maybe it was their half hearted attempt to teach him lol.

Best of luck today, will look forward to hopefully a positive update in the morning!

I am not feeling at all positive but I appreciate everyone else being more so 
If he does not vet I’m going to buy an ATV instead, always wanted one and they will plow the runs in winter nicely. Far less risky than a horse and very little depreciation

Yes, they do, but if he hasn't been worked with a lot by a skilled handler and shown a fair bit, resting a toe on the ground is fairly common.

Oh gee I’d probably worry more about an atv

Shoot I spent all day not caring and like whatever he should fail because he’s a bad idea but I do really want him in my barn 
. I’m kinda like just be sound today and you can break later and just be a companion for Boggle if he lasts longer lol. A pretty companion.
But I do want an ATV for snow clearing sooo.. lol.

I don't know how much he has travelled/done but I really like the fact he is facing this experience with a degree of courage - his eye looks a bit worried but from what I can see of his body, he is taking this straight on. I hope it goes well - I really like the look of him!
