OK then... find me a horse in the UK ;)

[Casey76]

I would consider buying in the UK if the transport costs aren't horrific.

This is what I'm looking for...

7-9 years old
Gelding (no mares please)
14.0 - 15.2
Not too heavy
Preferable no hairy (or minimal hairy) legs

Level of training not too important, but would prefer basics established.

No vices/stereotypies

Behavioural issues can be worked on, as can manners

Needs to be able to live in on occasion/only partial t/o during winter.

Go on... have at it. I only know of a couple of websites in the UK, you might be able to show me a couple more ;D

Not sure what kind of horse you are looking for and what your budget is, but here are a few options:

This is a website called Horsequest, a lot of competition horses on here but can sometimes have some good value all-rounders. Here are the search results for your criteria:

Hope this helps!

Buy him. Looks very nice for the money.

OP have you decided against the skewbald gelding?

 

[Casey76]

OP have you decided against the skewbald gelding?

No, but I can't really make any decision to even visit let alone buy until I have proper conformation photos and gait video.

Since I had so many people tell me I could find similar in the UK for "half the money" (or thereabouts) I thought I'd lay down a challenge.

Besides I only really know of horsequest and horsemart, so I thought this might highlight any other websites i could be looking at too.

No harm in looking... is there?

 

[kc100]

Ah I see I've supplied you with links to the 2 websites you already know!

Others you might want to look at are:

www.equineadverts.co.uk
www.preloved.co.uk
www.horsetraderonline.co.uk
www.horsedeals.co.uk

I actually know this chap, pics dont do him justice at all, hes a really nice boy, & he would also fit in with your living in requirements, as the owners horses pretty much live in 24/7 if they are in work, hes not bothered at all & a real happy chappy. Not as flashy as some of the ones that youve been given links too, but i think that is reflected in his price.
