Is anyone bored enough to help me find a horse?

[EquestrianFairy]

7-10yo
Capable of doing a nice basic dressage test.
Able to jump a small SJ course.
Safe, sane and sensible (confidence giver for nervous rider to compete in RC)
Budget £3500
Not more than an hour from South Wales.

(Would prefer a gelding where possible and I adore coloureds!)
Go....

Here's a possibility, I think they have a few coloureds for sale as well but it may be further than you want to travel. http://www.myhorsenetwork.co.uk/city/16hh-9yrs-ish-piebald-gelding/ ETA.. Sorry, scrub that. I'm in a hurry and only just had a quick look at the video. However, it maybe the rider and an unsettled horse as he's very tense etc etc.

I can't quite make out but is he in a gag on the 3rd ring as well? Yikes!

There are very few that fit your criteria but this looks smart

Short necked, up right shoulder, hollow backed, doesn't go forward correctly, hollow in its jump, stiff and looks very tricky to ride with a probability of poking you in the eye with its ears. Could be the rider admittedly.

Be positives choice, the coloured cob looks a nice stamp. If you come away from coloureds you will find plenty of ID types to meet your needs.

Was searching under your criteria and somehow (not sure how) came across this little gem -

http://www.horsedeals.co.uk/horses-...erican-Saddle-Mule--imported-__21-7-13-171971

Ok, maybe not exactly what your looking for but would certainly turn heads!

ETA - just seen its sold, what a shame! Haha, I've been to the riding school it's been sold to though, fantastic place and lovely horses, may have to go and visit again soon!!

and next into the ring is a Fairy riding a mule.

I bet it is a right little wotsit.

Honestly, looks like it has the capacity to be a forward and high energy horse. I know photographs are moments in time and he might be lovely, but he looks like a lot of horse for someone wanting a confidence giver. Not really painting a nice relaxed picture which is what I would be looking for.

What about this one: http://www.horsemart.co.uk/all-rounder-horse-7-yrs-8-mths-15-0-hh-chestnut-cheshire/Horses/313448

Not sure if Cheshire is too far for your.

Very expensive for a horse not been out yet. Dreadful conformation - here is my head my arse will be along eventually, long pasterns and short in the neck and very long in the back. That would give me a headache every time I opened the stable door !

I have found several but a bit more than 3k

This one's cute, though the ad is very vague and the last photo isn't the most flattering. http://www.horsemart.co.uk/all-rounder-horse-7-yrs-15-1-hh-tri-coloured-shropshire/Horses/312826

Useful but has he got a twisted near fore ?

How about Horsequest 81053, HQ 85295 - might be a bit green or HQ 85833
