Can you put......

[Str0ppyMare]

quiet and thoroughbred in the same sentence??

Got a call tonight from a lady who said she is selling her 10 year old gelding tb, that he is very quiet, when hacking on the road he looks at nothing.

She said that he used to be a racehorse, but now she can let her 10 year old daughter ride him!

Hes 15.2hh.

 

[Str0ppyMare]

Sorry meant 6 year old

 

[Weezy]

Yes I think so

 

[Str0ppyMare]

Meant that the horse was a 10 year old gelding and the 6 year old daughter rides it.

Im looking for something that will be quiet, and for £500 I feel like tearing her arm off lol

You just described 35 out of the 40 horses we have at this yard, all tb's.

 

[JaneMBE]

yep. Eric was a very quiet laid back chappy. Occasionally jumped at nothing but generally a perfect horse

 

[KatB]

Yep my friend events an ex racer. he is quiet as a mouse. Lovely horse.

We have a TB mare on our yard who is a total 'dope on a rope' - eldest daughter loves fetching her in for her owner, as she's just like a big dog, ambling along beside you!

Her 'dolly out the pram' moments consist mainly of turning slowly in a circle or shuffling slowly backwards - you'd have to actually try to get dropped off her I reckon! LOL

Lovely horse - thick as a plank sadly but very gentle & trustworthy!

 

[dwi]

Is it only £500 or did I read it wrong? If he's that good why is she selling him for so little?

 

[Pilib]

Yes, I have one, ex-racer, total saint.

Yep. You can even say TB and 'plod' in the same sentence! I had one like that!

He was an angel. Couldn't jump a pole on the ground though!

 

[AmyMay]

Absolutely.

The TB mare we just sold was really quite (i even had to wind her up with spurs when someone was trying her out once LOL) and if all the others were going mental in the field she would just stand and watch instead of getting involved.
