Find me a horse!! Please!

[galaxy]

My potential new horse failed his vetting today... gutted.

I am looking for a new horse and don't have the budget for what I want and I know it! (Just had to sell me previous horse for £1 to good home due to sacroiliac problem. Hence scraping the barrel). If I can't find anything, I will wait. But I'm feeling so down, if anyone here would like to do some horse hunting that would be great. Found 1 possibilty just now, rang it and her 1st sentance was it has sidebone!!! Great!! I appreciate the honesty but has thrown me into deeper depair.

My budget is £2500

15.2hh - 16.2hh (really would like 15.3-16.1!!) reason for height is so my husband can plod around on it

ISH, or that type and temperament. NO TB/ARABS.

4-8 yrs. Must be broken, but can be green as daisies (this is what I'm willing to compromise on)

no greys (lost horse last year to melanomas and really can't go through it again)

pref gelding. Would have to be exceptional temp to be a mare. I don't think I gel with them


Temperament is top of my list. Must be quiet and kind (doesn't have to be a doppy sane and sensible. Just not irratic) to handle. Must move ok as I do BD (although only have Elem ambitions really so doesn't have to float!). Must pass vetting!

Willing to travel around southern half of country.

Personally I think I need to save another £1000. But feel free to prove me wrong!

Thats a shame! What did it fail on?

I was going to suggest there is a few nice looking ones on Southgate Farm website right now but they are about 4k mark.

wasn't quite right on a hind leg and was going more off as we went on

I looked on the Southgate site, but they all are a bit more. Do they advertise everything on their site? Do you know?

I dont think they do. Greymare said hers wasnt advertised on the website although that horse wasnt right for her. Give Julia a call and discuss. She's really nice.

mainly dressage, but like going XC schooling, SJing for fun and hacking.

 

[lozz]

Try nfed they're website is really good! Lots of horses in the sale bit.

 

[galaxy]

Thanks guys. A couple there that I will call!!

Tried nfed. Couldn't see one to call!

 

[Coffee_Bean]

1k more and I have that for sale. Though she's a mare- but she's not mareish. Coloured in my sig, 5yo, irish, 16.3hh. She has lovely paces

 

[galaxy]

I feel lucky to have £2500 at the moment. My husband has found that out of nowhere!

I've seen your girl on medbourne grange. Have you seen Guiness there? Thought I may call about him? Any insider info?

I've got a 15.2hh lovely bay 4yr old mare by Hollywood for sale, moves well, ready for a prelim test and very laid back and kind. Bought direct from breeder and produced by us, been to a couple of unaff shows and ready to go on. She has a grade 1 heart murmer right hand side only, won't effect her but would suit more of a low level rc/dressage home because of this (wouldn't want to sell her to event even though our vet said he would pass her) hence can be in your budget (we have all of ours done by our vet before sale so we know if they should pass or not) PM me if she sounds like a nice sort for you, I'm in Surrey.

ooo oooo some more!!!! hahha!! These two are nice looking youngsters and not far off your budget.
