I looked at a horse today, thoughts please

He matches the others (bay, no white legs, cuddly looking). Dead cert.
wink.gif
 
I think he has rather a thick neck, and he's also surrounded by orbs in the 2nd photo.

I'm reliably informed that orbs are spirits from the world beyond that make themselves known to us by appearing as round, bubble-like light anomalies on photos.

I don't know what you should do with this bit of useful information. Perhaps contact a horse communicator to see if he'd like to come and live with you or not. At least then you'd be able to base your decision on something concrete rather than just forum opinion?

OK this has cracked me up!

Considering I have a horse with all possible problems from day 1 of purchase I don't think I should share my view but why should the short cannons be a negative thing?
As far as jumping and soudness go I thought they are the positive...
 
A trekking/bog pony maybe. 4* eventer? never

With a LOT of work and effort on your part I think he'd maybe make it round a BE80T, but that would be several years down the line. The devil eyes are a worry too....
 
Hhhhhmmm not sure if it's the pics not doing him any justice but he looks a bit over topped, with worryingly small feet, but that could be coz they are hidden in the straw......undecided either way are you going to investigate further?...

Baydale, have you sneaked down to Devon and taken photo's of my mum's old nag??? (Sorry, not implicating that he looks old
blush.gif
, he's just the spitting image of mother's horse)

I'm a snob, so would take one look at him and ask if you were kidding

Maybe I just can't see the potential under all that hair or maybe I'm just wondering if you're actually being serious

I would avoid - it has a naughty glint in its eye and looks trouble.

Just my type then - hand him over

Looks like it has a good front which I always like and a seriously cute face and I'm a sucker for one of those in, oh, so many ways
crazy.gif
So I'm in...
smile.gif
smile.gif
Obviously, can't see feet properly, proportions, backend etc etc but who's worryng?? When you picking him up??
 
Well - seeing as no-one else is particularly enamoured by him, I'll offer £2.50 to take him off your hands. Not sure that hairy 14.2ish hairy llama (despite being the right colour) would fit happily on the Baydale yard
wink.gif
 
I'm with The_Henmeister no white markings bound to be a winner, after owning a grey for 23 years my last 2 purchases have been based on this!

I like your logic, Bedlam. I'm sure if I go and look in New Lounge I'll find a horse communicator that comes highly recommended.

Ok, to summarise, we think he's cute with short cannons (good), short legs (not so good), over-topped (ChloeGHE, aka fat
crazy.gif
), a kissable snip (Joss, are you hormonal?
tongue.gif
), a naughty glint/devil eyes (TD, can have him sent to you in a week or so
wink.gif
) and the right colour to fit in at my yard (sw66 and m_m, I do like them all to match, although I think £3.50 is a fairer price
grin.gif
).

wizoz - I'm a bit like you at not being able to see through all that hair, no matter how hard I try.
crazy.gif


I was hoping he might turn out to look like this:

Or this:

Well spotted ISZ, it's fuzzy felt Jupiter, freshly in from his winter holiday and looking an unlikely candidate for BE this year. Oh to have the vision and confidence that it might happen...
crazy.gif


Apologies to everyone else for taking the mickey; I wanted to do a Before and After but, as patience isn't a virtue of mine, I couldn't wait that long to do the After.
blush.gif
 
Oh no the arm breaker is back and he's gone under cover in disguise as a fur ball!!!!! eeeeeeeke! Well then he is entitled to look a little portly after the winter, I know I do!
smile.gif
In a few months time with that winter coat gone he will look a different horse again. Proof that my eye for a good horse under it's winter wollies is awful I won a lesson with WFP ages ago at his yard and was warmign up nosily looking at the horses out in the field next to the menage and thought cripes that looks like a yak when I spotted a furry little bay, later on in the lesson this little bay came over and popped his head over the fence and WFP said 'go away Tam' Ooooooopppssss!
smile.gif
 
Chloe - LMAO at Tam the Yak
grin.gif


Baydale - cheeky! I looked at this last night and didn't post a reply as I smelled a rat
mad.gif
. Began to wonder if someone had cloned your account just for a little bit of fun trolling
smirk.gif
tongue.gif


Also - I was a bit concerned he had the feet of a foal, but I'm hoping that it's just the straw
blush.gif


And finally - am I going mad or were you riding a chestnut last year
confused.gif
 
Damn, I was sure it was an ancient pic of Hector
mad.gif
. However I did at least spot that it was in your yard!
 
Chloe -I'm less insulted by your "fur ball" comment than WFP would be by Tamarillo being called a yak.
tongue.gif


n_l_m - no, his feet are fine, a good size and shape, it's just his tummy that's out of proportion. And yes, I did ride a chestnut: Tino who belonged to GT_02 but was sold when she had more babies.
wink.gif


wizoz - yep, five and full of it with a very similar sense of humour as HH. Oh what fun I'm going to have...
crazy.gif


Gb - I have got one or two really old photos of Hector but he never looked anything like THAT!
shocked.gif

Or is that just too cryptic?!

Yup, far too cryptic for someone whose brain is currently powered solely by salad

. Guess the FB status should have given me a clue......

smile.gif
 
i see the TB in him if you squint and really screw your eyes round you can see it just on his right ear at the tip|!!! his legs look short coz hes a fatty fat fat(in technical event terms)!!! once hes leaner and muscled up he will look taller rather than natve to the moors!!! hehehe he looks soooo sweet and i would rather give him a packet of polos than take him on the gallops!!!! I recon tho you could suprise us sceptics tho and bet hes got an awesome jump looks powerful bhind if a little straight in the hocks,(cant be 100% cud be the angle of pic
