I've been offered a 14 year old mare, grey, very cheap....like ridiculously cheap as its a family friend who bought it to hack two years ago....she can't really ride!! It started 'napping' last year but i went and hacked it out a few times for her and it went fine. It probably just knows that she only sits on top like she's on a beach donkey and when it turns around to come home on its own accord she lets it incase it does something - it never has done anything!
It's been a lawnmower for the last 3 months and is looking better, she was a bit skinny before. The lady wants her to go to a good home and be loved, she knows I would buy it to sell on with a quick turn around, although I don't want to get stuck with it. I feel that she would be a brilliant happy hacker for someone as she goes on her own in heavy traffic and does jump, although I haven't jumped her x
So all I wanted to know, is there a market for 14 year old happy hackers, she could potentially be more but I don't know until i've rode her. Also other than sarcoids, is there anything else I should check out before agreeing to take her on? x Would her age put people off? I know she's not old but I wouldn't buy a 14 year old for myself, although I wouldnt buy a happy hacker either lol x
