In time for what?
Also I don't understand your poll. Sorry.

 

[bowser40]

time as in the future and the poll was a mistake sorry about that

I'm not going to be any help at all; depends I suppose on when you want to be out competing, how far you want to go, how much work you're willing to put in and how experienced you are

Oh, and how talented your mare is

Got any photos (I'm nosy)

i have no time restrictions and hard work is no problem spent about 15 years jumping all over england but have been away a while. the mare has good movement and bone and the breeding seems alright but who knows. she is brown in colour and 16.1hh at the moment but due to be collected on fri so wont have any pics till then..sorry

Weeeell, my boss, who does this for a living, usually has them ready to compete around 9mths after backing and they're schooled every day. By 'competing' I mean 2'6"-2'9" classes. Can't really be sure with horses, can you?

As PF says, can't be sure with horses

. If you like her and she seems to be what you want, and the breeding is there, then you possibly have more chance of competing at a high level of BSJA/BE than if you had bought a Clysedale

.

I bought a four year old with all the breeding, the build, the scope, etc. to BSJA in two years time (I don't like to push them when young, 'there's all the time in the world'). She has a bobered pelvis, so it's unlikely that we'll ever get there.

That's horses for you
