Hello

So you must know all about us, but we know nothing about you

Haha true! Well I'm also from Scotland, in Lanarkshire! Got into horse riding 4 years ago as an adult. Now taking plunge and possibly buying my first horse this weekend! Going to try him out so hopefully goes well.

Have had part and full loans before but this is next step! Scary and exciting! :-O

Oh how exciting! I hope that the viewing and vetting (if you like the horse) goes well.

PS. welcome to the forum.

Hello, welcome to the forum. Let us know the outcome of viewing/vetting. Pics are a must of new equines so make sure you take plenty that you can post!

 

[Ollie83]

Thanks everyone! Will get pics up if I decide I'm buying him!

Good luck horse shopping Ollie - how exciting for you!

Hello & welcome. You'll enjoy it here. I'm in Perthshire, horses are in Fife, if you ever get over our way.

Well just an update! Won't be buying that horse :-( noticed he had a little discharge at bottom of one of his ears. Asked owner and she said it was ear tooth?! Which I had never heard of but googled it and it turned out to be a tooth that migrates up and becomes like a tumour or abcess?? She said vet said was fine but I read different and only surgery would sort. He also had small amount snot out of nostril same side? Not good!! Oh and thanks regandal for invite

 

[Snow Falcon]

? Never heard of that before, off to google!

The search continues then, any viewings lined up?

 

[Ollie83]

Possibly one today, although I'm not in a rush to buy, when right horse comes along he'll come along!

No I had never heard of it either, always something to learn!
