What does everyone think of this little one? I think shes stunning, looks really well put together (already)......Can't get any answer tho - have tried phoning. Does anyone recognise the area code as i havent a clue where it is!
wow i think she is gorgeous! If you put 01525 in the code search on the bt phone website it comes up as Leighton Buzzard - my geography is rubbish so have no idea where that is!!
i love her by the way! If i was looking id have to go and look and steal her from your grasp!
But im not so i suggest you get your but down there before someone else does, she's gorgeous!!!!!!!
You can pop in and see my Bluebell too if you like lol!
She looks stunning, a very nice type. The price is about right for the quality and breeding. I would try and get hold of them and get them to either send more photo's or a vid of her moving if possible, if still looks good definately worth a visit.
looks really nice, would like to see a shot square on too in order to see how her front and back end meet - if you know what i mean, but she's stunning - go see her fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent breeding, and excellent movement...plus that lovely word *potential*
Nothing for a good dressage prospect though I suspect (or a good SJ'ing prospect either ).

Valentino breeding and no mention of the mares, so nto that good IMHO!
What does that make my 3 yo then? He is by Luidam out of a Carnaval Drum Mare who herself competed to Foxhunter and has numerous winning, could have gone further but owner put her in foal(me!) at 8 Years old?
Sorry no intention of selling , but just find the whole "potential" thing fascinating. Personally I would value him at around £6k if I had to guess, so I felt that £8k was rather a lot!
Edited to add,
Of course if someone wants to offer me £20k for all that potential I'm am 100% confident I'd change my mind about selling him!!
I hate the word *potential* too...every horse has *potential* after all, but this chap moves and has a certain presence about him which I liked. I also like Renkum Valentino...don't know what your problem is with him ? Anyway, it was a horse in the sort of price bracket that P_G was talking about a while ago, and I just thought i'd bring it to her attention

No real problem, nice enough horse, just not outstanding IMHO.but then I last looked at him seriously 4 years ago when I bred mine and he was quite young then so may well have improved a lot since to be fair to him!
Also I always like to see the mare's breeding when advertising a horse at that kind of value, as she is at least 50% of the final package and always find it odd when not mentioned at all!
We had a Renkum Valentino boy as a 4 year old....little man (only 15.2hh) very sweet to ride but such a cocky littl character. Specialised in airs abve the ground when being led past mares!
