Buying a horse - your opinions needed!

[Equus Leather]

If, theoretically. I was looking for a horse with the follownig stats, where other than the obvious places online etc, would I find it??

14.3 - 16.1hh
4 - 7yr old
Project horse for summer with potential to event
In the Northern part of the country

*Cough* would anyone know of anything?

Have a look on Project Horse web site.

I know of a lovely 15.3 4 yo mare with Ramiro Z lines, backed and lightly schooled who is going to make a super little horse. She's extremely well-priced for personal reasons. She was home-bred by another forum member so there are various posts about her as she was growing up.

Please excuse the odd way she's standing, she'd just seen my mare for the first time and was fascinated. I don't think she's seen a grey for quite some time!

Do PM me if you might be interested. I've only met her a few times but she is a sweetie and very nice to look at.

She isn't very "north" but I think she'd be worth travelling for!

Have you looked on ad-trader? There always seems to be plenty on there. My friends got two young tbs for sale, ex-racehorses, they are at Corbridge. Know of a nice 1/2 bred for sale. Ask around theres always loads round here. Im near Hexham by the way.

Depends what your budget is! Would go with Pinklilly on the ex-racehorses. Have just bought a cracking one for my groom to play about with over the summer. Good luck!

Thanks for everyone's replies. Budget is up to £3000 but obviously the cheaper the better.

Have spent hours on project horses, horsemart, horseselect, horsedeals, world of horses etc etc etc have tried the journal and freeads and adtrader....

pinklilly, can you tell me more about the half bred?

sikaran - might bump into you or your groom out hacking sometime!
