Looking for a new horse for 13 yo daughter who coming off her 14.2. She is very into PC (on all teams, does camp etc) and would also like to BE, starting at BE80, but with a horse who is capable of taking her to BE100 in time. She also likes pure dressage - she does BYRDS training.

He (prefer a gelding tho wouldn't rule out a mare) needs to be between 6-10 years old, 15.1 - 16hh, safe to hack alone and in co, capable of a decent prelim test now as a minimum and potential to do more with some training. Jumping-wise he needs to be fine at 3ft as a minimum and genuine. A lack of experience xc is fine - although obviously we would prefer an established horse, but as long as he has had some XC exposure and is enjoys it, that could be ok. An established PC horse whose rider is going to uni would likely be the best fit.

She can manage forward going. She is a sensitive rider who has a lot of training so can cope with something a little enthusiastic or who needs a little tact on the flat. He does need to be rock solid in traffic and reliable to hack as she is at that age where she is just about ok to hack on her own or with friends of her own age, but I don't want to be pacing up and down on the yard till she comes back.

We do have a decent budget (i think) for this paragon, but does he exist? Needs to be South East or close by.

Anyone fancy helping us search the ads? I am bored already...Thank you!!

I like the look of him - i would certainly give them a call. Thx!

Budget is £6k+. I would expect to pay that for the sort of horse we are looking for. Safe, genuine, hacks, jumps has decent flat work, no vices..

Not sure of your area (sorry, from top of scotland :p ) hope this is the kinda thing your looking for?

http://www.horsemart.co.uk/advert/5_yrs_4_mths_16_2_hh_chestnut_irish_draught_x_kent/93649 looks very nice, doesnt say a price though, and maybe too young?!

http://www.horsemart.co.uk/advert/9_yrs_15_1_hh_bay_irish_sport_horse_east_sussex/111669 also looks very nice, but no jumping pics..

http://www.horsemart.co.uk/advert/10_yrs_15_2_hh_bay_kwpn_kent/110143 sounds veeery nice!!

I know how you're feeling. I have been looking for something similar in the same area but have found nothing ! Either I am too fussy or horses of that calibre don't come along very often. Sooooo.... If anyone has a 15.3-16.1hh gelding NOT TB 7-11 yrs that has done PC area stuff successfully and BE up to 100 or Novice in the East Anglia area and you don't want silly money (under £10,000) let me know - lovely farm home

I was having a look on horsequest today and saw lots that would suit. I searched eventers/prenovice/novice. Lots were close to your budget. I was looking for me but saw loads for you!:)
