Ok been to see horsey at Tina Myles I LOVED HIM he was TB x ISH plent of bone really nice man tried him on flat. Jumped him and Tina actually got me to jump an upright instead of just a cross pole.

My Heart wanted to say yes there and then but my head said drive home first 2 other people are viewing over next 24 hours. He is not cheap but he is LUSH!!

Hacked him 20 yards from school to lorry (she had hired outdoor arena to try him in) didnt spook at van doing 6? whatever past the entrance as we went to walk out onto road.

Weather was atrocious wind was blowing.
 
I am a seroius buyer and I just posted here because due to circumstances I went on my own and I just want a sense check as he is not a cheap horse. I posted here while I waiting for my mate to finish work.
 
I don't mean to apply any pressure but BUY HIM, BUY HIM, BUY HIM, BUY HIM, BUY HIM...

If you want him, call up and make an offer - if he is that nice and there are two others coming to see him I doubt the dealer will hang on for a response from you.

Have you a link or a picture?
 
The world is divided into those who are sensible and go home and think about it carefully, or go for a second viewing, vetting etc etc

and those who just cant walk away without securing the deal and just go with there instinct and pure excitement and have no patience to wait...*coughs and looks rather innocent*

neither is wrong though.

If you like him, for god sake go buy him otherwise you'll be kicking yourself for ever more!

if you feel the owners are geniune nice people.
 
If he's what you want and you like him, buy him.

If he's more money then you've got you shouldn't have gone to see him, at least without letting her know in advance, so serves you right.

You could always make an offer at what you want to pay and she can accept of refuse as she wishes. If she gets a better one tomorrow then good on her.

If you have questions about him and just think you "should" get him, walk away.
 
If he is as genuine, honest and easy as the ad says and he gave you the right feel then tbh I dont think he is an expensive horse. Genuine honest types that are good allrounders will always cost more than those with any if and buts. After all your safety/confidence is priceless.

Go with your gut instinct and good luck, he looks a nice type.
 
Have to say 6.5K for a decent honest horse that has been succesful is not alot of money. If you like him, put an offer in.
How would you feel if you found out someone else had bought him?
The answer to that question should be the answer you need!

See its like this I liked the feeling I had when I sat on him and I like what I felt in my hands when he jumped.

He had white boots on when he was ridden for me and I thought I have always wanted to sit on a horse that looks like that I bet I get on and dont like how he feels.

His walk trot and canter would have had nice marks at Prelim.

His legs look like they wont snap off when he jumps

If you are a serious buyer why didn't you buy it?

Because people with a level head will walk away, to get "out of the moment", take stock of the horse and make a decision on a clear head.

I would advise that for anyone.
