Can you find me a Quiet, well schooled, 16hh ish, solid all rounder suitable for mother/daughter share to event to BE100. honest, hacks and sound.
In the manchester/chester area for less than 5K? Prefereably not grey either...!
:D
 
What age range you looking for and does it have to be doing be100 now. I no of 1 ur area its been to grassroutes and would be well over 5k
 
I spent 18 months hunting for a good allrounder capable of eventing up to around a metre with some experience and straightforward to ride. I started out with a budget of £5000 and didn't have much luck. When I eventually increased my budget there was much more out there that was suitable. I think at that price you might struggle a bit unless you are happy to buy something younger ( I wanted a horse that was quite established) or something a bit quirky. I might be wrong though!!
 
The ideal age is 6 to 14 ish, something that isn't going to go any higher than BE100 is fine, don't mind if it hasn't already done BE100 so long as confident xc.
 
All I will say is be very very careful. Dont believe what people tell you and get your own vet to vet it and make sure you have bood pulled.
 
Sorry, I didn't find anything that matched all your wishes, here is what I did find:

North east selling south yorkshire - 16.3 hh (Bay) - £ 500 EACH (?! perhaps the price has something to do with being 14 years old?) - Allrounder, snaffle mouth at all times.

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire - 17.1hh (Looks like dark bay) - £7500 - Stepped up quickly to British eventing BE100, scoring 27.5 at his last outing. Gives a Rolls Royce ride out hunting.

Bolton, Lancashire - 16hh (Chestnut) - £6500 - good to hack and to do in all ways

Buxton, Derbyshire - 15.3hh (Chestnut) - £6000 ONO - He has won/placed BE 90/100 with amateur owner/rider.

Lincoln, Lincolnshire - 16.3 hh (Chestnut) - £4,500 - brilliant to handle in the yard, stable and travels well. She is not mareish ... She would be suited for anything

Wolverhampton, West Midlands - 15.2 hh (Dark bay)- £2,800 -Jumps a course of 1.10m with ease. Ridden in a snaffle at all times.

Bolton, Manchester - 16.2 hh (Coloured) - £5,500 - competition prospect for a serious rider in any discipline. Ike has been broken, lightly schooled and hacked

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire - 16.0 hh (Dun) - £5,000 - SJ/eventer/dressage/child on horses ... bold but not strong or silly

Swansea, Swansea - 16.0 hh (Dark bay) - £3,750 - Safe snaffle mouth hunter/eventer

Melksham, Wiltshire - 16.0 hh (Bay) - £1,800 - Will make very smart looking hunter/allrounder/ev enter... uncomplicated and easy to do
 
I would try Neil Fox, he's only a stones throw away from you and since he retired from eventing has concentrated on sourcing eventers for other people
