I've phoned about the horse I mentioned the other nite and have decided to go and see.
So far he matches my criteria and sounds like he has real potential, he also a realistic price. The one downside is that he has been known to weave slightly in the stable when stressed / alone. How bothered would you be by this?
Our yard has 24/7 TO in the summer, and daytime (i.e. 06:30 - 19:00) in the winter. He would be on the smaller stable block with 3 other horses, 1 next door and 2 opposite. There is a fair amount of activity to keep a horse interested (working farm) but not so busy as to cause further stress. All in all I'm confident that I could manage his environment to minimise additional stress.
