Could I ask someone to have a look please

[motherof2beasts!]

The other youngster they have for sale is 3500 unbroken …. I’d be suspicious

 

[CanteringCarrot]

It is a bit suspicious. This is also not one I'd buy for resell.

Check too that he isn't a little standardbred pacer, unless that is what you want, of course.

that was my thought given the hind end.

 

[ElectricChampagne]

that was my thought given the hind end.

They also have a "carriage" for sale

 

[Gloi]

that was my thought given the hind end.

That hind end conformation stood out to me too.

For a 3 year old, he's very weak and under nourished. That neck looks like it can hardly hold his, admittedly very sweet and a bit worried, head up. It looks like he's had shoes on the front that were left on too long. His hind end is sloped like a standie and he seems to have a parrot mouth.

Could someone post a screenshot of his profile for me? I guess the owners of that site don't like Canucks, I can't access it.

 

[still standing]

I'm nearly certain I can see the outline of a saddle shape on his back, sort of like a light weight racing saddle outline, with panels and start of girth below, so I wouldn't be sure he was unbacked either. I also think it looks like he has a parrot mouth.

 

[Gloi]

I think the parrot mouth may just be a stress face, holding his lips like that due to tension.
You should ask for a pic of his teeth.

 

[Parrotperson]

Re-selling would be the plan.

Ok. No!! Not good enough confirmation and a bit of a money pit.

I think it depends very much on what you're wanting to do and your experience? I bought an Irish import at the start of this year, he wasn't cheap but I spent an additional £950 in the first two months on wormer, lice treatment, transport, getting him jabbed from scratch, and having his teeth done. The £800 looks appealing but remember that's just the start! That being said, if I were looking for a very cheap project to take a risk on I'd snap this one up. If you can envisage him in two years' time I think he would be really smart. This was my one after he got off the boat in April: View attachment 151166View attachment 151167 This was him five months later: View attachment 151168

I saw the first 2 and thought hm not y type still lanky, then I scrolled down and saw the third - wow what a difference, filled out and looks nicely covered well done.

I actually really like the other one they have for sale. I would pass on this one though.

I was thinking the same! He has a standie looking head and confo for sure. I love standardbreds, but WTF is with the front feet? It looks like they photographed him halfway through a trim!!
