Amber: 4 year old TB mare by Woodborough. NTR passport but belive she has been raced under a different name/passport.

Needs a very experienced/confident but kind person due to previous mistreatment.

Has bred foal and recently had time off for treatment for OCD in hock. Now ready to begin education.

Ok so not my ad as such but would be intrested to see thoughts on prices and how to word an ad?

Was thinking of putting her on project horses.
 
Technically, she's prob only worth meat money but if you ask £800 or something then you may be lucky and get it.

Sghe sounds sweet but there's just too many issues for an experienced rider to take her on.
 
Ok couple of pics:

Will take confo pics this weekend

Good points:
Lovely paces
Good to load, catch, farrier
Has been bitted, lunged and had saddle on
Was backed by NH trainer as 2 year old
Wormed and jabs up to date

Bad points:
Can be mareish/ tempermental
Had op on hock (OCD) but now ready to start education
Needs experienced home

Any more thoughts?
 
She looks and sounds like a really nice horse actually, shame she's had a bad start in life. Not really sure what she'd be "worth," as such, maybe around £1000 - £1500?
I may be wrong though, other people may be better at guessing!

She's just the type of horse I like, but wrong timing!

By the way, do you know how tall she is?

Yes it is a shame she has had a bad start. She really is lovely most of the time, but can be unpredicatable when frightened, and has a bloody good aim with her back legs.

Well I'm only going to sell her to the perfect home to be honest, I feel like she has had such a carp life so far she really derserves one. I feel really guilty for wanting to sell her, but if someone can offer her more than I can, then I'd sell her.

She is about 16hh I think, maybe 16.2hh? She's had a growing spurt and suddenly has TB withers. I'll have to measure her again.
