Achem I may have just emailed off about an andalucian to import from Spain.

I know slap me now but it's so darned hard to find a nice little horse for not stupid money in this country. And I got to ride one at the weekend and loved it.

Ooooh i love andalucians! My parents live in spain and there's a gorgeous andalucian stallion i ride whenever i'm out there. He's an utter git but so so pretty. I've suggested kidnap a few times but he's too big to fit in my suitcase.
So whats he/she like? Where from?
 
But he was already sold SSM so I couldn't have him. Me varied in my search? So far I have liked a TB (already sold) and a Cleveland Bay (already sold) so now I'm looking at an Andalucian, argghh.
However IF I get one I promise I will not be dressing up like an idiot in order to ride it, sorry but English riding attire is as stupid looking as I go

Absolutly lovely the _watcher but finding a 15.2 one of those thats sound and healthy and doesn't blow my abysmaly small budget, not a hope !
Although I do have fingers in lots of pies so to speak.
I'm just fed up of ringing up about said horse and then finding out oh well 18 months ago he did sprain a tendon but he's fine now honest . yeah right.

Or yes well that video we sent you is not quite up to date (eg 2 years ago before it went physco).

Driving 3 hours to see a horse that is £5k and promised it's sound in wind and limb come out the box and one hock is so huge it personally introduces iteself. Then the owner gets upset that we don't wish to see it ridden.

I just have no maner of luck at all!
 
Ha - bet I could find you something sound, safe and within budget in 48 hours..go on set me a challenge..what are you looking for (with the essentials and the 'nice to haves' listed seperately)
 
I'd love a Luso I do prefer them but where sells them at reasonable (cheep) prices.

If it's in Britain I'm now only prepared to look in East Anglia afer wasting many hours and much petrol on wild goose chases.

Budget is a paltry £3k.
 
OK if this is advertising sorry but since everyone is asking

15-16hh , deffo no higher Mac is a big lad and I now realise I have my physical limits and at 5ft1 16hh is deffo it!

£3k budget (naff all I know) but there again neither am I a novice but also I have no wish for a nutter.
4-9 years old
pref not a full TB , am looking for something reliable,sound and cheep to keep. If I have to go the full TB route in the end I will but then I'd be looking for the chunkier type.
In East Anglia ! I know this sounds weird with me looking abroad but if I go abroad I can look at several in a couple of days and should find something suitable where as over here if I go out of east anglia I keep lossing days of time and petrol only to find horses that are not as described.
 
Oh yes all sorted know how to get cheep flights and accomodation.

See we have 4 of the beasts already on the yard, I'm kind of hitting the if you can't beat them join them theory
 
Well if you need any pics to make people understand that Andys jump and jump well please pm me - have lots
