Lovely Grey TB for sale!!

[samzy_82]

I wish i had room for another, the only thing that concerns me is the fact she states he will be a 'rewarding challange to break'.... he's 6yo and not broken, i think from that statement they may have tried.

Id still have him though, even if he's a bit 'lively' as she put's it, hehehe

 

[DipseyDeb]

Hmmm, so what has he been doing then?? It might be genuine but not sure I would class something that is rising 7 as youngstock!!

 

[TheMule]

Far too much money!

 

[Umbongo]

Far too much money!

Agree, at the moment you can get a nice broken in TB for that much!!!

 

[MissMincePie&Brandy]

I think they'll struggle selling him tbh at that price. I wonder what he's been doing all this time?

If he has 100% clean unblemished limbs then someone who fancies a challenge might like him, as he could turn out to be a nice little horse and low mileage! There are so many horses, especially TBs who are worked too hard, too young, so this little chap could have a nice, long working life ahead of him, if the right person comes along?

 

[millitiger]

don't see what is so lovely about him tbh- he has dreadful front legs, the back ones aren't much better and the description makes him sound like a 'can't be broken' nutter!

 

[sprytzer]

They may have tried to break him and found him too challenging!
Now trying the 'unbroken ready to break' route.

I drove 2 hours once to look at a "luverly Hannovarian". Well, he had a minor club foot (didn't do well with the farrier) and best of all...he was 5 and had never been weaned. He was still with mom and a very big boy.

I have just heard of two lovely tb's being given away foc to good homes today, one mare 16.2hh, 4 years, dapple grey, quiet to ride, sound in every way, one 16.3hh bay gelding really quiet, dope on a rope type, sound & healthy, they were given away from the racing yard.

 

[welsh_mare]

Goodness me Lollii, wish i had your contacts, are you close to racing yards?. I could do with contacts like yours having lost my boy and not much money to look for a new horse.

Not to replace him (you know what i mean) but I really miss riding, and all that goes with it. Which part of the country are you in?

Does this happen with a lot of TB's?

 

[Lollii]

My farrier told me about them today, he had the bay gelding, it is now in his field, lucky bug*er the grey mare was given away too.

I understand ex racers are be given away for nothing or next to nothing as there is no market for them.

I will find out the name of the racing yard for you if you want but it is in East Sussex.

A lot off racers nr me are given away as well.
I bought a bargain this week. A 6 yr old black cob gelding 14.2hh. He was up for £1800 and hacks well in company, good traffic etc but needs work going out alone, he does go but green. Only been broken 3 months so was happy to work with that. Iv rode him a few times and really liked him and got on with his owner really well. Anyway to cut it short she was losing her land,stables and he had to go this week so said I'm open to any offer. I laughed and said £200 and she said yes done. I went and paid for him there and than and hacked him the 3 miles home alone busy main roads and was good as gold. I still can't believe it now.

 

[HollyWoozle]

I think £800 for an unbroken 7yr old TB is a bit insane at this moment in time.
