Gorgeous!

What are your plans for him?

 

[lottiepony]

As another Arab owner, you won’t regret it, they are truly wonderful animals is he your first Arab?

My last horse was a part bred, 50% so he is the one responsible for getting me into the breed and for introducing me to a whole new wonderful set of horsey friends. I was after either a pure or part bred, in no particular hurry as am a believer in fate and it would appear it worked, he was 30 minutes away!

My plan is to just enjoy him. I had a bit of an emotional rollercoaster with the last one who sadly was plagued with a million and 1 aliments from pretty much day one so I'm really hoping for a smoother ride!
We'll do riding club stuff, showing, fun rides, dressage etc I love a proper alrounder, he's done most things at low level so perfect to build on. Resisted the urge to ride as got saddler coming on Sunday as want to be sure on good saddle fit etc but done a bit of long reining and a walk out last night in hand. Seems bold and forward not spooky at all, bring on the fun!

Thank you all for your lovely comments, first rule of buying a horse - never buy an ugly one!

What a stunner! My friend has recently bought an Arab and m partner had one for years and they both rave about them.
Here is to a stress free life together

Had 4 PB Arabs and they were all great and long lived. Mine were crossed with Welsh so were a bit 'hot' but very capable.

I hope you have many happy years together.

totally wonderful, you are very lucky. We have had 4 pure breds,

and you certainly didn;t buy an ugly horse. That head and especially the eye are gorgeous.

Handsome boy. Hope you have many happy adventures together.

 

[Lucky Snowball]

No such thing as an ugly horse!! But he’s especially handsome.

Happy new horse! He's a rather handsome fellow (and I say that as someone who prefers a big old bucket head on a nice chunky body). Wishing you many years of happiness and fun.
