I really dont want to be mean, I mean the horse looks very sweet, and theres a lot to be said for a horse reaching that age and still jumping, hopefully sound with a confirmation like that.

Ooops, hope I dont get into trouble for posting it, out of curiosity I wondered what you all thought???

I've seen worse!!

Just looks like a horse who's age is being shown perhaps more than it should through being very weak infront and behind and wrongly /under muscled, may look better with correct conditioning and muscling

I wouldn't pay that though

Looks to be more muscle development in the wrong areas than specifically confirmation..?

Totally agree with this. It is difficult to see conformation with any clarity from these pictures (No shots from in front/behind and limited view of legs). But the horse looks to have developed an upside down neck probably through incorrect work....So this could be improved on.

 

[Blackhawk]

looks like a lot of under developed muscles to me. Could turn out to be a lovely little horse for a young person.

 

[Honeypots]

looks to me as though the picture are elongated.....

Aww bless her.I doubt she will change now she is nearly 18 years old.She has such a pretty head.I'm sure she will make someone happy!!.

 

[airedale]

got a 31 yr old version of that in the yard - he's still the fastest thing on 4 legs around and was 26 secs faster than bogey time in last XC - he's an ex SJ pony
pigeon toed as well

except he's a bit fatter than that grey

wonder why poor thing has to be sold so fast - doesn'thold out a bright future for her

 

[polyphonic]

look ive shortened her up, now i just to to turn the neck upside down and ta da!

 

[Pristine]

Actually, she does not look to bad at all now, I really did like the horse, but she looks as if shes seen better days, a lot could be improved with some condition and some correct schooling, but is it worth it for an 18 year old?

 

[Daphnelia]

Id take her for a fair bit less.. bet she'd be a fun project..

I love arabs Im such a sucker

What would you say she is really worth?

 

[Pristine]

Yes, Ive quite taken to Arabs myself lately, I reckon shes worth £800-£900 if she has the energy in her that she looks to have. I love projects too.

 

[fruity]

I feel for the poor thing really,if she was a bit younger i know plenty of people who would have her although they wouldn't pay that for her,it's a shame she has to be sold at her age,she deserves a good home.

 

[silversox]

She definately has an upside-down neck, but quite a lot of Arab riders seem to hold their hands high and encourage them to stargaze.

It's very sad that they are having to sell her. I wouldn't dream of trying to sell anything at that age. She'll need proper/expert care as time goes on. It's a bit like selling your Granny!!!

"Must be sold this week", sounds like a dealer gone incognito.

Yes I would agree.

 

[harrihjc]

aww she's got such a lovely face, just looks like very bad muscle development, and seem to see it quite a lot on arabs. I feel really sorry for her being sold on at that age

holey moley!
talk about a swan neck.would improve with correct riding though, pictures arent very good to be able to see how the neck comes out of the body naturally.
