I have looked at, in excess of 20 horse's records, and not a single one of them had a xc record as good as this, which is PARAMOUNT. I would rather have a horse that has never had a xc fault than one that is good at showjumping but has stops here and there.
Have you found out why it didn't event for 2 years? It's SJ really is bad, and that is with 3 different riders including a pro. If you don't mind about not getting placed and just want to do the XC yes he looks a nice horse - but I still wouldn't pay £10k for him.

Because the current owners didn't event him with BE straight away, did some unaff stuff first to get used to him, and some racehorse to ridden showing classes.
We are going to see what he is like tomorrow, if we think he can't cope with the show jumping then we will say no. Its the first horse we are going to look at so we aren't going to buy him if we don't feel his showjumping can be improved.
