Hmmm suspicious?? cob for sale opinions please

[cobface]

Hi, my mum is looking at this horse on sat.......i hate to be all suspicious but i thought i would check on here first....i have entered the persons number in google and looks like they have been selling alot of horses through dragon driving.
Mum wants a cob to live out 24/7 with her other cob. Must hack out alone and be sensible in traffic.
Opinions please -

Horse 6th one from the bottom - jake coloured cob.

Thanks guys

Also could just be the pic but looks quite bum high in one of the pics??

He looks very baby like and doesnt appear to have a huge amount of muscle....which I would think means he is probably pretty green.....

Blimey is that the price they are going for now? To be honest I'd say he's worth a try for that money. He looks a nice sort and not all 4 year olds are nutters. You may find he's younger than he's advertised at but definately worth visiting.

 

[cobface]

Yes, he does look like a baby still.
So its not just me that thinks he could be younger then??

 

[RuthnMeg]

Nice type, but as the poster says above me, don't be too alarmed if he was three as he looks very baby ish. Worth a look.

I have a 3 year old, similar sort, who has more chest than that one.....in fact, mine isnt as heavy a breed as he is....mine is more like a coloured section D.....

I think he looks like a cutie, but just caught my eye that he is very quick to rest his back legs in both the You Tube videos. Near hind in the first, twice, once when being untacked and when turned out into the field, and the off hind on the second video whilst being fussed by those girls.
He does look babyish and has a right "jumpers bump" but for that price I think he's worth a look.

He's only 4, he's going to look babyish

Yes but he looks very young, younger than a 4yr old.

Just noticed the resting of the hind leg too when looking at the other pics.

I don't understand when you say "must hack out alone and be good in traffic" why you would look at a 4 year old! Can't actually find the one, but surely she would want something a bit older and more experienced? If it is resting a leg alot make sure when you have it vetted that the vet is aware of your concern and that they take a blood sample in case they have given it something to cover this up when it is vetted.

I agree with you entirely!

I can't speak for the advertised 4 yo, but ALL my home-bred 3 year olds - once fully backed - hack alone and are good in traffic!

Have they used a blind mans stick to measure it, if I am looking at the right one, no way on this earth is that 15.hh

When my TB was 4yr old she hacked out alone and very good in traffic
Infact i know of alot of sensible 4 yr olds
