Honestly what do you think of this horse?

http://www.horsemart.co.uk/advert/10_yrs_15_3_hh_bay_wiltshire/33202

is it a decent price for her ability etc?

 

[Taffster]

She looks a nice sort, however i'd like to see results and as to what level she has competed for that kind of money

 

[Cyberchick]

Yes I would say most definitly. Nice little advert

 

[Lollii]

I think she looks lovely, if she is as safe as they say she is worth every penny.

I would find out what she has done though, email them if you can for her competition record? Been there and done it doesn't say much but there is not much room in the ad, have a chat with them.

Good luck x

 

[paintsplat05]

i'm not really in the best position to buy at the moment but I miss having my own horse so much, and was flicking through the 'for share' adverts then found the first one, and i can't stop looking at it

she sounds like the exact horse I want, safe and able to do a little bit of everything!

If they were to take £4000 then she sounds good value for money.

agree.... although if she truly is bombproof and that safe, she's worth her weight in gold... and i'd pay double that (if i had the money... which i don't...)

Sounds and looks nice, but would say that is the top end of the price band for her. Poss 4k all in? If all results unaffiliated would def not pay more than 4. Will you go see?

 

[Divasmum]

Nice stamp of horse but on the photos the hind legs do not show much engagement for dressage. It depends what you want to do competition wise.

 

[paintsplat05]

i'd only want to do unaffiliated stuff: ODEs, 2ft9 SJ and prelim dressage, nothing major but I want something safe as i've had some confidence issues in the past! I'd think £4k including full wardrobe would be more reasonable. Unfortunately timing wise it's not possible to go and see her as I'm going to America in 2 weeks for the whole summer, but she sounds perfect for what i want to do though

 

[Lollii]

Oh what are you doing in America all summer? just being nosey!

Will you get to ride over there?

 

[Erehwemos]

I think she looks lovely - a really nice, kind type

She's just up the road from me too, funnily enough! She'd have definitely been the sort I'd have gone to look at when we were searching for Ellie

 

[paintsplat05]

i'm working at a kids camp teaching riding so quite a bit of riding involved as well, taking them out on hacks and riding in our free activity periods/days off!

 

[Lollii]

Fab! wish I had done that when I was younger (b4 the child came along!) have a great time.

 

[Divasmum]

For the activities you want to do she certainly is worth a look. Good luck.

 

[Cyberchick]

I dont think 4k is to much at all. It's only 10 so not exactly over the hill and it sounds like it has been out and about enough and has a sane mind.
I would expect it to be more if had been competing affiliated.

Price sounds good if she is bomproof - in my experience these horses are becoming a rarity.

I'm assuming it was the British Dressage Nationals at Stoneleigh that she qualified for but an unaffiliated championship but as others have said, I would ask to see her competition record.

Only thing that struck me is that she looks smaller than 15.3 in the picture but if she does the job that doesn't matter.

 

[paintsplat05]

thanks all, i've emailed about her competiton record, and about height i prefer smaller horses-i'm riding a 15.1 Connie at the moment and a 14.2 Arab (i'm 5ft6) so height wouldn't be an issue!

 

[Kenzo]

Looks like a nice little mare, a good worker and a safe all rounder, would like to see it a little bit cheaper though (personally) in this climate but then again you can't put a price on a dam good horse that will last you many years and be part of the family, from a mothers point of view you can't put a price on safe horse for your children to compete/hack out on, in which case worth every penny.

 

[Coffee_Bean]

y_i_m- Yes I think she looks a nice sort

When are you back after summer? I'm most likely selling my mare in august (outgrown

) sounds pretty similar to her, and she'll be up for 1k less... she's 10yo, trakehner x, competed in all disciplines, 15hh. PM me if you want more info

 

[AmyMay]

What a super sounding little horse. And a bargin at that price in this market.

Hope someone snaps her up!

 

[Maizy]

thanks - reading this post reminded me to play the euro lotto just in time! Nice horse!
