Erm..people who help you find a horse?

[Cash]

Sorry...numpty alert...
Am really having trouble finding a horse, and it's getting a bit urgent what with loan horse having to be returned soon

I have instructor and various horsey friends with ears open, but nothing suitable so far!
So my friend suggested we should use a professional to actively find us one.. is this a really stupid idea?
Particularly as our budget is about 5k, surely this wouldn't be enough to 'attract' someone who takes 10% (or similar) of the sale as a fee- i always thought they dealt more with really high class competition horses?

Sorry to ramble.

What are you looking for?
I'm sure there are lots of people on here that would love to do some horsey shopping for you.

I think a decent reputable dealer would probably suit you best. I hear very good things about Fiona Davidson and she would probably know of something if she didn't have anything suitable at the present time. Having had a look at her website, there are one or two that might be nice for you?

Lol Irishcobs i would love that!! My eyes hurt from looking at Horsemart too much

I am looking for a 15.1-16.2, 7yo to 14yo RC type allrounder who is straightforward in all 3 disciplines..but don't mind some quirks!

Oh and must be in or nearish East Anglia.

Think there's a site called find me the right horse?

why dont you put up a "wanted" ad - H&H and try Horsequest as well. A girl at our yard wanted another pony to loan when hers went back - put up an ad and found her new pony within a week.
