I read the comments yesterday. What I find strange is that this horse has come to them very green, under weight and lacking in muscle and it would never occur to me to try a horse over that height. I would have popped him over some jumps to see his attitude and shape/scope but did they keep putting the fence up to see how high it could go (chase me charlie style)? They have only had him 3 weeks so he won't have strengthened up much in that time. I know some readers said that he would be regularly jumping that type of fence if at a SJing yard - but then he would have been in training to build but the muscles before so not such a shock to his system. If looking for a horse - I would pay that sort of money for something 5/6 with a track record and scope to go on. I wouldn't expect them to be jumping tracks more than 100 - 110cm. Anyone can get a horse to jump big over 1 fence but would prefer a track record over something smaller.
Very concerned that his dentist say one age and passport another - are there dodgy passports out there?
