15.1 10yr old bay gelding. jumped up to 1.10 (not recently I think). For sale due to rider injury. Good in all ways but fast, ridden in a pelham . Hackney breeding apparently.
2700?
I would have thought more liek 3.5K selling but considering going to look next week.
 
I think 'for sale due to rider injury' says a lot!

lol, rider has back problems apparently unrelated. Ridden (and pics) by lightweight teen girl, apparently controllable. have to see as would need to be controllble if to be sellable.
I would think cheap, has perhaps odd action?
Only piddling about at the moment although apparently she can jump it for me over bigger jumps just can't do it all the time so that's why it's being sold.
Thanks, confirmed all the thinks I thought! We're both used to riding fast (and yes.mind does translate to hard to hold sometime !:p horses but it has to be rideable!)
 
So the rider cant jump big jumps very often, is that right? Ok......

I would ask if they have any video footage of the horse out competing (ie. doing 1.10's), very useful if they do.

There's only really one way to tell and that's by going to see the horse. Obviously try to get the rider to put the horse through its paces though (hacking, jumping, cantering in an open field etc. etc.).

I would also want to see the horses BSJA record. They say "has jumped up to 1.10", so what height does is normally jump (ie. it could have only jumped a 1.10m class once!) and has it actually won things? You have to make sure you read into things, it could have done SJ but nobody says it was good at it....
 
not registered I don't think. Done RC so going to check that if possible. I suspect he is a very fast beastie and that's why he hasn't sold, plus ad has POA..so maybe he hasn't sold and price has dropped?
Not the ideal age for us, would prefer a bit younger but might be a useful little horse.
