Window shoppers of HHO, I have a mission for you.
It's looking like Grace will probably be out of action for 2 months at least and I'm already getting twitchy. With my last horse being on box rest for most of last summer, then coronavirus, I feel like I've barely ridden at all this past year.
I've been toying with the idea of getting a third for a little while now, something that I can bring on with a view to selling in around a year or so's time (or potentially keep if it's a nice enough sort).
So the criteria is this:
• 16hh+
• Ideally under 5 but I'll consider anything 10 and under
• Nothing too heavy, doesn't have to be super flash or sporty but no maxi cobs/pure draught types
• Ideally under £1000, can stretch a little though
• Broken or unbroken, really not fussed
I'm not fussy about temperament (not psychotic mind), breed, colour ect. Just a nice horse to bring on.
Obviously all the other normal, not on 3 legs, hasn't killed/maimed anyone recently type thing too, but doubt that will be broadcast in an ad anyway.
I'm asking here as the extent of my horse shopping knowledge is typing into Google 'Thoroughbreds for sale' and picking the soundest one I can find. I'm not opposed to a TB but do think I might cause my poor mother to have a heart attack if I bring another one home! Another Thoroughbred is definitely not off the cards though... ?
As always thanks in advance. Happy horse hunting
