I've bought a horse... (again)

[IrishMilo]

I operate very heavily on gut instinct and nothing's given me the 'I must have this horse' feeling until I saw this one pop up on FB this afternoon. I took one look at the ad which contained about 10 words & one photo and transferred the deposit... he's coming from Ireland in the next week or so. I have absolutely nothing sorted, am in the middle of a full blown house renovation and this is the worst timing ever. But life is short I know absolutely nothing about him other than the fact he's 6 and about 16 hands.

It got better when I looked at his breeding, and then a photo of him in his peak!

He's by Footstepsinthesand (Giant's Causeway.)

Did he retire sound?

 

[TheMule]

That is a nice horse- I'd have probably done the same as a cheapie to take a chance on
I love Giants Causeways, they're good, tough horses

 

[SantaVera]

Beautiful, congratulations

 

[ycbm]

You're mad, you know that don't you

Congratulations!

[Snow Falcon]

Sometimes you just have to do these things! Hope he arrives safely.

 

[Maesfen]

I don't blame you. Love the chrome. I can take you off the list for Goody now!

 

[Flowerofthefen]

Beautiful, best of luck with him.

 

[The Xmas Furry]

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

Wow!best way to do it I think but I might be biased

 

[Fjord]

He's a bit pretty isn't he? You are mad, but I think you knew that.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

He is lovely! Looking forward to watching you guys together!

 

[Mrs. Jingle]

Crazy!!! But I wish you the very best of luck with him, I hope your gut instinct pays off for you.

 

[IrishMilo]

I find it's not as bad if you look at these things under the guise of 'You only live once!'.

 

[Dreamer2020]

Sometimes you just know! I think it's brilliant you went with your gut & got him. He is gorgeous & I hope you two have lots of fun together An exciting new chapter for youxx

 

[IrishMilo]

Did he retire sound?

Apparently so, yes! Which is a bonus rather than a prerequisite (don't ask how I'm wired - I don't know either...)

 

[Wizpop]

Looking forward to the updates

That’s how I ended up spending all my stamp duty savings on Dex love it!

 

[Cortez]

What job do you have in mind for him?

 

[thommackintosh]

Cracking looking, all the best with him.

 

[IrishMilo]

What job do you have in mind for him?

All round plodder. Hopefully a bit of SJ.

 

[IrishMilo]

He also needs a name if anyone is feeling creative!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

He is gorgeous. Can't beat a shiny chestnut!

 

[Mrs. Jingle]

He also needs a name if anyone is feeling creative!

Chancer! We have plenty of those over here, and you certainly took one

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

He also needs a name if anyone is feeling creative!

If he hasn't raced in England, Scotland or Wales and he is as race fit as he looks in the pics throw him in training for a few weeks, get a run into him then he is eligible for 100% of RoR competitions
