OMG I no longer own a horse

[Weezy]

Chico went this morning - off to Kent to keep an older horse company and have a fantastic life in a wonderful private playground - Natalie_H from here is friends with the new owner and will, I am sure, keep us up to date on how he is doing

Thing is, I no longer own a horse over here now and that is a WIERD feeling! I can start my search in ernest now tho, thats good fun! I want:

16hh - 16.3hh
Hunts
Hacks alone and in company (this is v important for me)
Good in traffic
Forward going but not a loon
Nicely schooled
Jump 1-20m tracks
Nice to do - good for farrier/box/shoe etc
Grey

Have you been a good girl this year? Not long to wait for Santa!

On a serious note - Good luck in your search.

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Do you have a particular Grey in mind????

 

[Weezy]

Welllll yes but I am not sure he really is for sale!

Glad I have Boss to play with for now otherwise I would be in serious mourning!

 

[druid]

Pretty grey pony

 

[Weezy]

He is on my list

 

[TGM]

Didn't realise he was coming down our way - will have to keep my eyes peeled for him!

Good luck with finding a new horse - hope you find what you are looking for.

 

[EllieBeast]

Ooh, how exciting. Chico's new gaff sounds perfect!

will keep my eyes peeled!

The two greatest days in a horse owners life - they day you buy a horse, and they day you sell that horse.

 

[burtie]

Sounds like he has gone to a lovely home. As you say at least you have Boss to keep your hand in and keep you busy Although I still own 2 horses, with Hannah out on loan for 3 months and Herbie going to school yesterday I have had a totally horse free day today and I'm already getting withdrawel symptons

Obviously I will be visiting Herbs loads and plan to go tomorrow but it weird not having that daily commitment!

 

[CastleMouse]

Sounds like he's gone to a lovely home Weezy

Best of luck with the horse searching!

 

[Tia]

[Haflinger]

I like this game!

no photo but description
looks tricky!
nice pics
young
When I was looking for something to replace Jimmy his breeders suggested James Fisher web address

 

[dieseldog]

You've changed your horse spec - I'll have to train Olympic to bend at the knees and get some bleach out and die him grey.
His advert is in next weeks H&H.

 

[Weezy]

Oh she is fab - thank you!

 

[hati]

Coevers Diamnond Boy lines are very good. Breeding a lot of excellent allrounders for jumping and eventing. I like of her and she is a mare

 

[Weezy]

Thanks lec!

Have already been in touch about the youngster, had my eye on the Puissance mare (bit over my price band and I keep scaring myself as the top pic reminds me of me LOL), the top one with no pic I really like the sound of and thanks for the website

BTW, the grey bit is tongue in cheek - as Cambon says, a good horse is never a bad colour

 

[Weezy]

Ahhh but for Olympic I would make an exception to the rule - just a shame I dont have the readies immediately

[Happy Horse]

I like the one Acelight founds - he reminds me of my boy as a youngster.

 

[Weezy]

Have emailed - and looks as tho the horse is at Weston Lawns which isnt that far away

 

[madgirl]

good luck hope you find the right one!

 

[Emily99]

That horse Clare has you can guarantee its been produced well.

 

[MillionDollar]

Awwww glad Chico has gone to a good home, hope is has a happy life there!

That KWPN Gelding is stunning and really reminds me of Jess_SJ's Ulrich!!! Very nice, and sounds pretty perfect!

have a feeling the price tag might be pretty stunning too

THing is when there is no price it puts me off somewhat - its prob something like £15k

 

[mrdarcy]

Probably too far away for you but I know someone who has a very nice grey mare for sale. She's 6 rising 7, 16.hh, middleweight by Cruising. She hacks alone and in company and has a very very decent jump

. I don't think they want huge sums of money for her... in fact she might be a bit of a bargain. They got her for their teenage daughter, who is now in the middle of GCSE's and hasn't got the time to or inclination to do much with her so she's being wasted at present.

 

[Weezy]

g_g could you get some more details for me please

And pics too obviously!

 

[mrdarcy]

Of course! I'll try and bob round to see them tomorrow

and get some more info.

Lou my mare is exactly what you've described though i've never hunted her! schooled xc though
