Three years ago, went to look at a well handled Connemara... quite expensive unbroken, so i expected something good
1) it was oversize (therefore no use for showing)
2) it cowered in a corner when i reached in to my pocket for a tape measure
3) it had white line disease
4) not special in any way
I did not take it out of it's box, as it was obviously pretty ordinary.
I looked in the box next door, something nicer........... "oh no he's not for sale"
Then I went to see a five year old arab cross, described as "always giving you her all".... I turned up, but they were hesitant at letting me ride it (I am an oap), soon discovered it was barely broken!
I then went to see a newly broken TB, asked them to hold her while I slipped on her back bareback, (no tack available)... shock horror!
Went back next day, they tacked up and got on board, poor thing was terrified of having someone on her back, (obviously not mentioned in advert)
