We have a winner...

Unfortunately not of the prize for finding a nice horse :p

Damn.

Been trying to view that mare for a fortnight, got no where despite offering every solution I can think of to enable it to happen.

Hmm, doesn't sound like they want to sell, or there's something dodgy going on. Googling the phone number shows she's been advertised on and off since May along with another 2 horses.

Sorry :(.

You can't really really like a horse you have only seen in an advert .
You can only know that it's description fits what you are looking for and it looks like a horse you might like .
If it was a seriously dodgy dealer I would leave it .


Yes its ok, we can all relax, I've seen a video now and she's not what I want anyway. Phew.

My money's on a crippled or mental horse who can't be sat on. Just speculation, but you gotta wonder when someone cockblocks you at every term.

(Not literally :p )

Not your fault, I love her, she is exactly what I am looking for and I have the cash here waiting. The seller won't let me ride her, so I suggested taking her to a local well known and very good horse trainer to enable me to at least walk round on her back a few times. She said she hasn't got a saddle for it, but I do, but she hasn't got back to me. I'm trying not to think of her cos there has to be something surely or she would be jumping at the chance of a buyer as keen as I am!

They have some seriously nice horses, might be worth giving them a ring as there's one that fits exactly what you want on their 'for sale' page but it doesn't look to have been updated recently.

Thanks I've phoned them about her. She sounds nice but she's 10 and only a happy hacker and I think therefore very over priced. That's all she had for sale when I spoke to her.

If I were you I'd get myself over to Ireland and the Goresbridge horse sales, there were a lots to choose from and transporters bring them to you. It cost us about £140 per horse but we did bring back a few.

Worth a look maybe?

Good luck! Just a little word to save heartache...don't try to replace your mare with something so close to her that you run the risk of making comparisons all the time. Even harder when you are still grieving for your first horse.

Have bought a horse. Nothing like my mare who died as it happens but hopefully something which will help mend a broken heart. She was vetted today and will hopefully arrive next week. She will be going into livery not coming home for the winter at least.

So utterly delighted for you:) not a bad thing she is unlike your late Mare, there is obviously a very good reason you were drawn to her :)
