Melanoma. To buy a horse with one. Update

[Ruth_Cymru]

Thank you to everyone who replied to me as to whether they would buy a horse with a melanoma. After a lot of thought and discussions with vets, I decided that I just couldn't take the risk.
I'm a worrier as it is, so I know that I would be concerned about every little lump that might or might not be a melanoma.

So it's back to hunting for that elusive 'perfect' horse for me.

Thank you again, this forum really is a huge help when you need as many oppinions/view points as possible

i geuss in the long run thats a good decision as you dont know how much worse it will get etc.
what are you looking for?

 

[Ruth_Cymru]

That's what I decided, short term it should be fine, but I was looking for a horse to have long-term, and I know the worry would always be there.
I'm looking for a ridden arab gelding, 5-8 years ideally and well put together- so quite narrowing my choices there! But I won't want to sell him on, so best get what I really want.

I don't know what budget/heights/areas you were looking at, but these two came up.

 

[Hippona]

I'm sorry....you can't have the second one, the palomino arab....I WANT WANT WANT.

Stamps feet and flounces off cos I dont have a spare stable

 

[Ruth_Cymru]

I forgot to say that I'm narrowing my choices even further as he needs to be 15hh+. I had seen the palamino, I think I will contact her find out some more about him. Thank you for looking

 

[Grey_Eventer]

not picky eh!?! i really do think not buying was a good decision especially if your keeping long term, but also if your circumstances ever changed it could possibly cause problems.... anyway heres what i found:
http://www.arabianlines.com/for_sale/geldings.htm theres a selection of arab geldings, various heights and prices, but many seem nice! might be worth having a look through them all.

“Jajai” s an extremely correct homebred 8year old rich Chesnutt mare who currently stands LHC at 151.5cm approx 15hands

“Jaja “is by the successful TB stallion “Time Guardian” who has stock both in the show ring and on the racecourse - This infusion of top class TB blood has given “Jaja “the most incredible long balanced paces

Gredington Romance was the full sister to the legendary Gredington Natalia. Natalia has two sons in the top ten producing pony stallions in the UK being Strinesdale Matador and Strinesdale Mastermind and two multi-champion daughters including Strinesdale Rhapsody a Cuddy Finalist in 2007. This infusion of the very best in pony breeding has given Jaja most refined of looks

Jaja has been shown lightly as a small hack and PBA winning her class both times out and qualifying PUK amateur hack 2008

Jaja is either ready to show or valuable top class broodmare

She has the athletic ability, a big jump the outstanding looks and the manners to go out and win

Unfortunately for me I am now retired and have no jockey for her and given up breeding

I have priced Jaja at £4,000 which both reflects the depressed state of the market and the quality of this mare

Telephone 01663 733925 (Whaley Bridge High Peak ) or 07944369091 - further pictures and videos of her being ridden are available Email veronicataylor@btinternet.com

Stunning looks that will turn heads, correct conformation and nice flowing paces

Easy to do in all ways, anybody’s ride - Still a little bit green, but he is a very quick learner and loves to please

Has a wonderful temperament both in and out of the stable, can be ridden/ turned out alone or in company

Clean limbed

Very sad sale however lack of time and change of circumstances forces sale of this wonderful little horse
