Nothing on there at the moment but keep an eye on NFED. They seem to advertise from all over these days.

Don't mind mare or gelding!
not too fussed on colour, Melanomas worry me with Greys but willing to view.
302549 - Really like the look of her! Anyone heard of Verdi Sports horses? good or bad?
303311 - I'm always put off when i see men riding smaller horses - not sure why! Just presume they're on for a reason.
303022 - Keep being drawn to her! Have messaged for videos.
303014 - Not feeling him - not sure why
Oh 303022 looks very smart indeed

Horsequest 302549 At the very end of the jumping video (the head shot) it looks like she has a waterford mouthpiece..

Why do people not reply?!
it’s nuts! The people that do this professionally/more than once every 5 years need medals!

Thoughts on this lady?

As no one else has replied , she looks quite nice although rather fat, may not be fit , if she isn’t she may be very different when she is?. There is no side on shots standing still to check conformation so if I was looking I would want to see that and also videos which they say are available . Not sure if she should be £10,000 though although I haven’t bought for a good few years

She's at the higher end of my budget - I'm struggling to find anything and reluctant to push up to £15K+ I've asked for some videos. Not sure if its me but it feels like sellers CBA to get back to people, which is frustrating, especially when I'm spending so much money (to me anyway!)

Can you ring them to have a chat & then ask for more videos/ pictures, especially if they're dealers, they may get 100s of messages asking for more details/ pictures so don't bother replying?

Unfortunately I work full time, so try to see a video before I call to weed out any lame horses or any that look like too much

Really like the look of this mare but she would be far far too wasted with me! - https://classifieds.horseandhound.co.uk/horses-for-sale/all-rounder/one-in-a-million-715721

Teddy sounds nice but again no photo of conformation , only video of jumping , no walk and trot shown, I would want to see all of those before viewing…

Oh no that's terrible. Had you been to view the horse already?

Its a sellers' market atm. I've had two different sellers now, ask me to send a video of myself riding, before they will talk to me about a horse. (And I'm not talking super high end competition horses, my budget is lower than yours.)

It's so frustrating but i'm sure it will be worth it! I have a viewing booked for Saturday morning! So fingers crossed! Then hoping to book in to see the mare above, she just has rainscald at the moment
Have you see any others?

I'm in a bit of a weird limbo now, not really knowing where to go! Didn't do a deposit as booking vetting was supposedly enough to show I was serious...Luckily not out of pocket for vetting or transport which I was also tentatively arranging for Monday
Really not seen anything else I like enough to part with the cash! Don't want to spend more than 5k but don't mind sparky/sharp/needs backing, etc...all the things that should make quality horses abit cheaper.
Instead I'm just finding mediocre horses (at best!) cost a crazy amount. Have seen horses that are lame up for 5k, horses that have kissing spine up for 10k...World has gone mad.
