It's a long way from you but Avonmill Equestrian (was measles on here iirc) have just advertised a 15.1hh gelding on FB that seems to match/
Eek, very long barge pole for anything coming out of that yard. Beware the bags of feed...

Was the Scottish one mentioned the one that had a controversy with bute in the feed? I have avoided using the name in my post incase I am wrong.
You are not wrong.

On the say so of one person? There was one person PMing people with that claim but as far as I was made aware it was just that one person's version with no substance or evidence.

There doesn't appear to have been any other unhappy customers or bad reviews, in fact they have an overwhelming amount of positive reviews from happy buyers.

Not my circus but I wouldn't be posting publically about something that I didn't have first hand personal experience of and definitely not off the back of a random on the internet sending PMs

Is that the bay 4 year old? We loved the look of him but sadly significantly over budget! I liked the 7 year old too, looks like a nice sort but also a touch over budget...

I guess Carlisle is too far? We went over to Gee Gee Equestrian, she had some nice types - think they’re all quite green at the moment but she does get more established horses in too.
No, the brand new grey. Wow.

But I do want one that is established!!!

Oh wow, someone 'liked' a post on here, I couldn't remember what the thread was about, here it is, me looking for Rigsby!!!

What a blast from the past!

I remember setting out to look at an expensive one, where they upped the price by 3K before I got there (I turned for home and never actually arrived), but I didn't actually visit and try one until I saw Riggers.

I guess I was initially thinking of spending more £ for one with more ability, but Rigsby found me and is perfect. Of course, he is SO perfect, I now feel a bit more resilient and am looking for another, but Riggers stays!!! He is part of the furniture here now. He has seen me through the worst 6 months of my life. He is a gem!

It would have to be a super horse to knock Jay-Man off my profile picture :cool: and he did.
