I'm currently on the market for my first horse. What i've been looking for is a schoolmaster to do mostly dressage, but a bit of sj/xc only up to 2ft6/9ish...Anyway, saw an ad up in the local tack shop for a horse who sounds like my dream first horse (tbxwb, perfect schoolmaster, no vices, competed dressage to elementary & went to pc dr novice champs, showjumped bsja and still competes sj and xc up to 2ft9/3ft, all in a snaffle, never had any health hang ups and owner is pretty sure he would pass a vetting, was also first horse for current owner ) however the only thing is he is 18! Would this put you off? I'm not sure about insurance, and also not sure about how much riding time he has left before he would become an expensive lawnmower/pet? He's £1750, but that includes good quality tack & rugs...do you think this is this a reasonable price? (haven't been to try him yet)
