I bought a 2yr old Gelding about 3 weeks ago now and he passed his vetting and arrived today!
His name is Goliath, but Goli for short as i wasn't shouldn't that across the field!
Also need a show name for him (mum wants OhGoliGosh lol)
He has had a upwards growth spurt so is VERY leggy and gangly at the moment and has alot of filling out to do.
He has been handled but thats about it, he is very laid back and was bred by a very old fashioned yorkshire farmer in the depths of Catterick
He stands at 16.3 now (so going to be a big lad) He isn't prob going to be the best show horse in the world but he moves very nicely and i am hoping he will jump to so he can be my future eventer.
He is an ID x TB
Please dont be to harsh lol, he may need some work but i think he will be fab eventually!
Not the best piccies as was doing lots of jobs!

I think he's lovely. Really do. Congratulations.

Wow, he's going to be a tall boy. Thought my filly was big at 16.1 (she's two, too)!!! Hope you've got a step ladder to get on LOL. I know I am going to need one!!!!

I love the horse and love the show name!!

Mine was 16.2 as a two year old. He is now 17.3 (he's 11) but didn't stop growing until he was 7 xx

Have fun with him x
 
I was hoping he would make about 17.2ish (didn't want much bigger than that lol!) but he is very sweet and gentle so hopefully wont be handful lol!
From othe people's thoughts they think he may hit the 18hand mark tho :gulp:
 
Awww, I like him especially the 2nd photo of him trotting - he looks like he's floating. I hope you're tall lol I'd look small on him with the size he is now
