Would hope so but probably ignorance!

I have a terrible feeling it's not but I sincerely hope it is

Poor boy. I hope he finds a nice new home and is left to grow before being ridden again.

I have a grey cob x welsh, hes very easy to do, my friend has already tacked him up and hacked him out and he was very good, not a problem, so when hes three he will be very, very easy to do...

shouldn't think so..i bought a reg sec d on saturday at a sale and he's been backed and ridden since july....he was 2 in may..i've turned him away for the winter

He might be rising 3yrs old and have just had tack on a couple of times and taken for a very quiet pootle down the road. In which case hes a damn sight better off than most of the youngsters that look like him that I see on a daily basis hammering down the road I passed on the other day that couldnt have been much more than a yearling, carrying a full grown man and I clocked it at just over 20mph

I've been looking through lots of ads today, and the majority of the ones where the horse is around 2 have said similar - that it has been backed etc.

Yes there is something about the ad that sounds genuine, unfortunately, poor boy.

I do love the look of him though - is he worth a call?

Im not very experienced with youngsters but have been looking for a project (not totally inexperienced, have worked with difficult horses, and retrained a ex racer but never had a horse under 4) how much damage could have been done?
