Clonminch stud farm has anyone brought from here?

[milliemead20]

So ive been looking for a 2-3 year old and i came across this:

In ireland

I wouldnt be able to go and veiw so i would potentially buy unseen. Would have to use his person for transport to the uk.

But im a little bit worried as its not a little amount of money and i dont want anything bad to happen!

If anyones brought from this stud please let me know as i have completely fallen in love with one of them!

No experience of that particular stud but unhandled is unhandled. They will literally have not been touched/ handled in their lives. Just herded everywhere. Not wormed/ feet not done etc. I would also take the 'clean limbed' with a pinch of salt as they won't be able to check properly if they are untouched, although admittedly you can see well enough without touching if you view in person. If you are experienced it can work out well as they have had no bad experiences. Don't forget there will be import tax.

Don't know them but I wouldn't want to buy big 2 and 3 year old that have not even had a head collar on, that's hard work and will take patience and skill plus as mentioned above they have probably not been wormed or feet done.

Makes me wonder what state they are in.

Also probably not been vaccinated not sure if they are meant to travel with a transporter without, do they even have passports?

They won't be vaccinated - not many are when you buy from Ireland. They don't need vaccs to travel. They likely won't have ever had a headcollar on. They come round quickly if you are experienced and have enough time to put into them. It's not ideal but it's how a lot of them are in Ireland.

Okay so basically i do have the time and experience to do this. Ive done it before just not buying unveiwed and transported over but im just worried that if i send money ect i will not receive a horse!

ive got the experience and patience to do so but i agree, with them being completely unhandled they arent exactly going to know how healthy they really are. Thank you for your help

There is nothing on the usual sites about them. It’s definitely taking a punt but you could potentially get a cracker. There are many highly recommended transporters and I consider it a good mark that they don’t say they provide their own transport just know of them. It means you are free to get your own.
