Does my one fancy horse shopping?

[zoon]

I am looking for an unbacked 4 or 5 year old. Older is also fine if they’re genuinely unbacked. Would also possibly consider a 3 year old. Needs to be between 14.2 and 15.2, within a couple of hours of East Sussex. Open to any breeding, but absolutely no greys (terrible experience of melanomas, never again). Huge bonus points if it’s spotty!

Such a difficult horse to find - most for sale at that age are backed and I definitely want unbacked

That's why I ended up buying a 2.5 year old.

Maybe too far- https://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/...h?keyword=Appaloosa&orderBy=mostRecent&page=3

I bought an ‘unbacked 5 year old’. Later found it had been badly started, passed around several dealers then advertised ‘from the field’ - just be careful.

Shame you are more than a couple of hours away…there is a lovely ID gelding 3 year old unbacked from the same source I bought daughters mare from…oh but he’s steel grey so my search fell on two counts..sorry.. I ll go and wake up properly

3yo Appaloosa, but probably too far away as she's in South Wales- https://www.horsemart.co.uk/registered-homebred-appaloosa-filly/Horses/737738#

Or a 4yo TB 15.3 so maybe a smidge too big? - https://www.horsemart.co.uk/unraced-4yo-tb-mare/Horses/736013

Or Horsequest 321505 and 321499 are spotted yearlings who look to be from the same place- the adverts both state older siblings can be seen so I wonder if they have anything older available? May be worth a call? In Oxfordshire, so I'm not sure if that's too far?

Possibly too far away from you, but I think he's lovely:

2 inches too big but very pretty and doesn't look like she'll ride very big as she's very slight (and only in Chichester).

Or if you happen to be struck by a moment of insanity like I was, the guy I bought Dex unseen from Ireland from has this lovely little 3yo unbacked Dun mare

What a gorgeous pony! I wish I had the time/money for a pony like this in my life!

Where has @zoon gone, you guys have started looking, helping, and no comments from the poster - last seen on HHO at midnight.
An acknowledgement for your searching maybe nice.

Lol, I did much the same with my youngster, albeit she was a yearling!
