With alot I have not had that much of a choice to be honest as I have predominantly bought ex racehorse out of the sales and it all came down to what was in my limited price bracket that I liked!!
My latest one (not a TB) the only thing that worried me was that he was the first one I had viewed this time - but hardly the same as first one as have owned horses for 30 years. What I liked about him was it was a horrid day in a flooded arena and he didn't put a foot wrong. Also they had told me he was an aloof horse (which didn't bother me as my first TB was very aloof and loved only me and my Dad) but I found him very sweet so I thought he must like me too
I was right he is a total sweetheart and one of the least aloof horse I have ever met.
Probably more significant is the ones I didn't buy. Most of the times I couldn't say exactly why but something was missing. Especially ones I have had to go and see more than once - that just decided they weren't the ones!
