New horse search

Haha I know they don't have the best grammar on that site but bless them they come highly recommended! I quite like the look of Star on there, he looks like he's sat in paint :-)

I am horse shopping again for overheight connies now, I blame you entirely haha! How much are you thinking of going up to? More like 3k? I only want to go to 2500 really so don't think I can afford one :-(

LOVE big highlands too :-)

I noticed Star too! He's very unique. Even though she's completely not what I'm looking for, I like the look of Kitty too! But I think £3K is steep for what they say is a happy hacker. I don't want to spend more than £2500 either really, although may have to :/ That's why I can't forget the 'perfect one' as they were only asking £1800!

To be honest most of the ones on this site are lovely! I like Tess too :/ I may just buy them all and start the riding stables I dreamed of as an 8 yr old! Lol :D
 
Whereabouts are you? My friend bought a connie x last year from a dealer in Cheshire. Friend told her what she was looking for, she brought one over from Ireland, kept in for two months so she knew what he was like then let friend know and said no obligation to buy.

She bought him and he's everything the deler promised :D

I'm in Rochdale but mum lives in Cheshire so would definitely try somewhere there! Could you pm me the dealer name if you know it? Thanks! :)
 
So, a friend now says she knows of a Welsh Section D 15hh 3 year old gelding at £1500. Backed in March and being schooled. Hacks fine. From pics doesn't really set my hear aflutter (black in colour). Could try as kept 30 mins from where I live. Seems a bit young but I have ridden youngsters. Go to view it and risk being labelled a 'timewaster' or hold out for even more Mr/ Ms Right? Ouch, my head hurts from all of this :(
 
You'll never know if you don't try. I didn't even get on the first horse I went to view because I wasn't feeling it - I'm sure the guy thought I was a terrible timewaster but I knew I'd be wasting more of his time if I rode! Take the plunge - what's the worst that could happen? (dr pepper tune) plus - I love a Welsh d :o

Well, I'm going for a hack tomorrow at stables so will ask owner what she thinks. But, yes, I think I may go and see him!
 
Ooh I love a welsh D! Defo look! Sounds like our ideal horse search is similar although of course I have an ex racer on lwvtb at the mo (?) you never seem to get what you're looking for!

P.s. kitty is nice isn't she, sounds a bit sedate for me and yes perhaps overpriced, but she has been on there at least a few months, I also like Lucy :-)

Dale sport horses is another one near me that often has some nice ones of this type but I guess quite far from you!

Have emailed to arrange to go and see him! Will see if I get a 'feel' for him or not :) I think I need to stop getting hung up on looks and accept that the perfect horse for me may not be the most beautiful! After all, he's just going to be hacking not going in a boy band :)

Yes Lucy is nice too, and Millie! lol.

Will check out Dale sport horses as even if I don't buy from there it gives me more idea what to look for! Thanks :)
