I agree she is also 5 years younger and has pretty much the same description

Have you tried messaging both of them on facebook? I've found he's usually pretty quick

You realise that when SLH buys a horse we're all going to feel like it's ours too? 
I've not been particularly helpful but I've been following closely and I'm really looking forwards to our new neddy!

yes of the 2 meg may be better as she is a bit younger and she is rather good looking but hacking out alone is important for both of them, cant remember if it has been mentioned on these 2 ads, i am getting a bit lost as i have seen so many
just looked back on these 2 ads and neither mention hacking alone so that needs to be checked. the advantage with the gelding is that he has done the things that OP is aspiring to, doesnt say if meg has competed....difficult choice if both are still available but after trying each op should know if she falls for one...its very exciting!!!!!

I have a mini (4/5yr old gelding) for perm loan that is the perfect companion because he's not bothered when he's left alone while your off riding etc and he is not an escape artist either! PM if your interested

Sorry for the slow replies today, it's the 4th anniversary since my little girl died so it's a difficult day 😥😥😥😥
YBCM, that's really very kind of you and I will definitely bear that in mind.
At the moment I have booked in to see Murphy on Sunday and am hoping to get to see Meg asap. Phoenix is also still for sale so I could possibly go and see him too.
What do I do in regards to vettings?? My friend says a 2stage is fine, others are saying 5 stage and another friend has told me not to bother 🙈🙈🙈

Thank you xxx
Meg's seller will let her go at 2.5k for quick hassle free sale. Or 3k firm if vetting etc wanted.

I might be? I am missing my mini terribly, but I can't take her back from the three year old child she has been lent to. She's having a wonderful time, I'm miserable!

They want to charge more if you have her vetted?? Mmmm....that rings alarm bells for me I'm afraid.

Yes it's making me feel somewhat uneasy. Nice as she is I'm wondering if I should avoid?

It wouldnt for me. They arent saying no vet, they are saying if theres no hassle and shes sold and away quickly they will reduce the price. If the buyer wants her holding for a week or so for a vetting and the owner has to take a day of work for it etc, then they want 3k which seems fair enough. If I was selling it would be worth £500 for me to not have to deal with any hassle!

I hesitated to reply at first but as others are feeling cautious I will admit my first thought was that the suggestion is a type of blackmail. It could also mean the sellers would prefer the horse wasn’t vetted.
SLH I would always have a 5 stage vetting by either my vet or one who is completely independent of the seller.

Arrrggghhhh what a minefield. They've sent me some videos and she looks fantastic but a 5 stage vetting would put me over budget 🙈🙈🙈
I could possibly just about manage but she doesnt come with tack either.

Then you can’t afford her, so walk away.

Ah, does your £3k mean that is what you have available for the horse, any vetting and tack?

Go and see her. If you can afford the horse and the vetting you can worry about tack later. And there might be some wiggle room if you see her, like her, put down a deposit and get her vetted and picked up quickly.

dont get put off vetting, i knowit can only show what she is like on the day but if you have bloods taken you can know if she is buted up to mask lameness or doped to make her quiet. as soon as you said that i felt uneasy, this is a dealer who is selling on behalf of someone so the wait for vetting wont cost them anymore.......go for murphy, he sounds perfect as he has been there and done it, still have him vetted though and i would go for a 5 stage and bloods, i know it costs a bit more but worth it IMO

Not quite, I have access to more if needed, I'm trying to avoid it if poss though.

So sorry. Today must have been extra difficult.
