Hi All,

We are on the hunt for a yard mascot/ spare horse/ over sized pet so though we should ask you guys if you know of anything!!

Must be....
At least 14.2
At least 4
Halter broken
Inexpensive
Not a colt (prefer a gelding to a mare)

Anything considered within those guidelines really....

Let me know if see or hear of anything!! (I know these little gems tend to come from someone who knows someone....)

Opps Sorry !! you are right, I attended the final sale last year in an official role. £10 for a colt foal, common small cobby type that came with the add on's.

Have a look at the returns from March Leominster Brightwells, very cheap again. I can see it getting worse if we have a poor hay year.
 
We are aware of the problems we may across on our mission but we are 3 experienced horse women (that sounds very middle aged!!) with plenty of time and great facilities.

A Sec' D or bigger Newfie or TB cross would also be fine.

Open to any suggestions really :)
 
My Saffy is for sale but she is only 3 :(

She will make around 15hh though, and she's a palomino, cuddly, wormed, vaccinated and had her teeth checked.
 
How about looking at some of the rescue places and rehoming something? That way you would be giving something a much needed home and freeing up space for something else to be rescued. That might be the way to go if you're not too worried about quality. :)
 
I think we would struggle from a rehoming centre as we are nowhere near any and it is between 3 of us

Have high hopes for Stoneleigh then, finding very little advertised privately
 
I've got a very sweet sec d gelding in the field. He's only 3 but has been broken, ridden away and hacked out. Very nice person and not spoilt. Would be the right side of £800! We took him in part ex and he's now just turned away with some of our others but nothing to stop him going and doing a job.

I suggested rescue places a few posts back, but the OP said that there were none nearby :confused:. There's a lovely chap on the Blue Cross website at the moment.

I think buying from the sales just lines dealers pockets :(, whereas adopting from a rescue centre frees up a space for another needy animal. :)
