1st one the best IMO....
last one isn't very pretty to look at..but i'd buy him as feel sorry for him and he looks sad!! xx
 
I like the 3rd one best as he's he only one working correctly, the first two have there heads forced down by the rider.

I think they are all reasonably priced though :)
 
I agree the first too are not schooling happy.

I like the last one, bit more weight and muscle on him, i think he'll look and be lovely. :D
 
i dont really like any (sorry :o ) i think the last one for a 6 year old needs much more muscle and topline. he doesnt look very 'fit' so it makes me question his advert. the third one looks the best, a good advert (sorry havent looked at the vids) and a fairly decent horse for 2k. the first 2 both look like they arnt schooled properly and the dont look together enough for me. so i would say number 3 if i had to make a choice :)
 
hmmm interesting i quite like that last one as although skinny you can see the general frame and what your working with. i have a budget and dont mind putting in the hard work of schooling and building topline and condition just want something with decent confo and that has a good pop in them as i mainly want to hunt. if anyone fancies helping me find something then

i dont care about what colour (but prefer a horse without socks or twin sets lol)
must be above 16hh preferably above 16.2hh
jumps (some xc or hunting experiance)
good leg on each corner
good sloped shoulder
middlewieght to heavywieght
short coupled
good feet
between 4 and 7 years old

oh dear i dont want much do i tee hee
 
First 2 look like they come from the same place so dealers. All look nice and could be taken on.

Was interested as am in the process of putting mine up for sale, but in our case, he does have the t shirt and I am not desperate to sell!!
 
First: Looks a bit slow and riding looks like she has to put some pressure onthe front to get an outline, not ideal! Doesn't attract me.

Second: Rider is very harsh in her hands! He looks nice, but doesn't attract me.

Third: Nice horse, very well going under the saddle, nice walk and trot! Missing some muscles, but with a bit of work it should be fine.

Fourth: Good build, bit skinny and lacking muscle. Ashame theres no more pics.

I REALLY like the look of him, I keep coming back to the ad .... if I was looking I would defo go and see him, just something about him I like :rolleyes: walk away .. just walk away ..... :o :D
 
I like the last one but wouldnt go see it. I dont like adverts with horses that arent up to weight going into winter as you have no idea how hard it will be to keep weight on or if he is like that for a reason i.e. stressed.
 
I feel exactly the same about the last horse, something about him, not sure what but .... Reminds me of my old grey horse who is a total star, not a show horse to look at but brilliant across country and as genuine as the day is long. I'd go and see him, he has that certain something.
 
I like the 3rd one. I'm sure he is owned by someone on here and has been for sale for some time. I imagine it’s the ex racer tag which puts people off. Shame as he looks a very nice horse at a good price.
 
Ok so the third horse may be mine, its strange to find him on here, but mostly good comments so I'm not too bothered. Maybe I can not sell him because I am too honest. But immoralorchid if you want a Middle/Heavy weight he is not for you, he is quite light.
 
3rd one seems like a great all-rounder with decent experience for his age and a good price tag to match. First two look like they need a lot more work in particular. Last one's an odd but sweet looking creature!
