Looking into going to see another horse for a friend

[JenTaz]

Hi just wanting all you guys opinion out there im hoping to go see this horse with my friends wee sister she's only 13 and it would be her first horse as she is tall for her age she's had ponies on loan and they havent done what she wants to do which is hack out with her friends and pop a few fences every now and again in my opinion he sounds perfect but her sister thinks he isnt what do you think

It sounds as if it would be a great first horse temperament wise tbh. I would be worried about the lameness in the school though plus if she decided she wanted to do a bit more then she is limited.

Sounds perfect to me although I would have him fully vetted.

Sounds perfect...apart from the lameness!!! What does the seller mean by 'walks short'?? I would want a proper diagnosis of why the horse is lame, when and how much it is likely to affect him, etc.

If the horse has a lameness problem I wouldn't touch it. Lameness could mean pain and no one would want to ride a horse if it has pain.

NOWHERE AT ALL does it say this horse is lame, so you should probably not say that.

doesnt say lame in the school. or are you reading something extra??
