OK It’s your lucky day you’ve all got between £2k and £5k to spend.

[Skippydo]

Ok so I’m bored, weather’s rubbish and OH’s taken up studying Math’s again

Here’s the challenge, you have between £2000 and £5000 to spend, looking only at the H&H website pick a horse that you would go out and buy today. It must suit you and your ability, height, sex etc. (Don’t worry about the distance you will have to travel, like the money it will come from nowhere

)

Here’s my choice
http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/marketplace/classified/4-details-horses-for-sale_204996.htm
Blimey, when i look there isn’t that much to choose from but he’ll have to do, wouldn’t have another grey either (says quickly “although I love mine dearly and wouldn’t swap him for the world”)

 

[Erehwemos]

This one, because she looks really poor but underneath I reckon there's a lovely little mare....

[JoBo]

Now I would want this:
http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/marketplace/classified/4-details-horses-for-sale_204661.htm

I would like to think I was experienced enough to bring her on as I had Bodey (my coloured below) from a 3 year old. I’m normally a gelding person but she is pretty.

 

[Puppy]

Yes, I saw her JoBo, and thought she's lovely

But I wouldn't actually want a three year old... lol!

 

[JoBo]

See I would be looking for a youngster, infact I would prefer unbacked. Therefore I know everything they have done is with me.

Some more pics of her....

See, I want something I can get out and about riding NOW, I shall have babies to play with from Beans

Of course the slight flaw in that statement is the fact I can't ride at the mo, but it's a fantasy thread so we'll ignore that fact!

 

[somethingorother]

I like your choice, can we share? Only because there's no chestnut arabs around the age i would want on there at the moment though

 

[JoBo]

Oh now I like her even more, let’s hope I win the lottery tonight! I have two I can play with now, so would actually like a youngster.

I won't bother even looking then!!

 

[Skippydo]

Just remember this is a one off special offer folks, you must buy today, if someone else has chosen the one you want you'll have to choose another and NO YOU CAN'T SHARE!!!!
Blimey some people just look a gift horse straight in the mouth

my pick, looks lovely and unspoilt,would have to see him move and jump but looks sweet and is just my type!!

 

[somethingorother]

Pffft, well then can i have a 2k raise please?

Or i will just come and steal yours mwahahahaha.

 

[Skippydo]

STO can i ask what it is about 'if it's already been chosen choose another' that you don't understand?

If i was to let you have mine it would set a precedent to everyone else and i'm NOT GOING TO ALLOW IT.

Simples

Another grey for the collection

- I like

 

[Puppy]

Ok, as it's a fantasy thread, I'll ignore my "no geldings" rule, and have this boy (another grey!

)

http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/marketplace/classified/4-details-horses-for-sale_204295.htm

 

[Skippydo]

Puppy, would you go out and buy that horse today even though it is a boy?

 

[My_chestnut_mare]

I really like this one and it would suit me to a T

http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/marketplace/classified/4-details-horses-for-sale_205023.htm

I like the sound of this one, Sec D x Friesian, 2yo to make 15.2hh. I want a youngster who I can bring on myself, and want pony charachteristics (namely temperament) whilst needing it to be at least 15.2 and weight carrying enough for me.

Only thing is this guy seems too cheap, and the picture is too rubbish to work out anything on confo, so I would go out and LOOK AT him today. Not promising to buy.

Am shocked at how easily I found one that matched my criteria... is it fate? Should I get him?

Skippydo, I may have to blame you if I do

 

[Skippydo]

Oh well done MCM gorgeous, although a little bit to much a horse for me at the mo. if you know what i mean, but like alot.

 

[Skippydo]

Ewer Mrs, Narurally

i would not take on any responsibility, but how fab if you did and it was a bargain and everything had a fairytale ending. Dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeam, dream dream dream dreeeeeeeeeeeeeam

 

[3Beasties]

I's probably go for this boy as I really want to get out hunting

My choice was a toss up between the grey I linked to and this one, he's lovely but rather large!

 

[Natch]

... and with my change from my £1800 bargain I'd buy this mare:

http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/marketplace/classified/4-details-horses-for-sale_204023.htm

... ok I'd have to beat them down £200 on price (thus making 2 horses at £5k!

) but she sounds a nice safe weight carrier.

I can ride her until the 2yo is old enough, and she can be a happy hack for my mum and any guests. She will also live with my at my idyllic famhouse (plenty of good quality fields, a couple of stables and an aga) and keep the 2yo company.

Happy days

PMSL see above post: I am most certainly dream dream dreaming now!

*Off to check lottery numbers, and failing that buy new lottery ticket...*

 

[Puppy]

If you were paying

I just can't find any mares of the right age and type, that I like, in that price bracket, in the H&H ads

I am SO picky when horse shopping! It drives my mother mad!

 

[arwenplusone]

This is mine.

Posing Barbie horse and would do dressage and endurance. I want it so much.

 

[Skippydo]

I'm so disappointed nobody has picked this chap, the only problem is i wouldn't have any change from my choice, maybe i could negotiate

[Natch]

He is nice! Offer your original one £4500 and offer him £500. Simples!

Although he doesn't fit your original rules of between 2 and 5k! Tsk tsk tsk!

 

[Skippydo]

It's my game!!
