heres his write up....16.2hh (full up) coloured gelding, has LOADS of bone, super conformation, and lovely personality. Has been VERY well schooled, does walk to canter, leg yeild, shoulder in etc with anyone riding, and has HUGE easy jump, clears 4'6 tracks easily, never going to stop or run out, also very bold and clean XC. For such a big chap he is amazingly agile....got a family chat to do just to check i can afford no 3 and to sort out grazing....fingers crossed....hes just what i have been wanting he is up for £3000 do you think hes good value....will have to find out some more on him

Ditto! He sounds fab, but that does seem a little cheap.
No, maybe you can't have him, he's rubbish

, now just tell me where he's advertised and I'll kindly tell the dealer to take him off the market!!

A lovely horse. Are you in Cornwall? I know prices are cheaper there than up here in the South East! Definitely worth a look, if you like, get him vetted, you cannot lose. Good luck!

He's a bargain at such a price! Defo worth the look! Take a friend.... have you got any really knowledgable blunt friends who will tell you straight?? They're your best bet to take with

I wouldn't worry about dealers being an issue. I've had some good horses from dealers and so have my friends. Alot of honest people out there may have money troubles, or simply can't be bothered with the hassle of privately selling, and off load to a dealer for an quick, easy and effective sale!

As long as you know what to look for, you'll be right!

A livery at our place was over horsed and sold to a dealer. It was a lovely horse, had a real quality and potential about it. Nothing wrong with it at all! Just too good for her! So she part exchanged for a more suitable cob with a dealer

If you like him that much, and you are worried about the dealer situation, ask to get him vetted! Any genuine dealer will allow that, and if not, stir clear! xxxx

It sounds far to cheap to me, a horse that jumps 4ft6 tracks is a serious competition horse, they do not go for 3k. Plus it has quite a bit of tackle in its mouth for just going round a school. Not wanting to put a downer on it but, when something sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Considering he can jump 4ft6 tracks and school so well why are the pictures not of him doing that?
I'm afraid the first thing I thought was what's wrong with it? I'd definatly be careful, you never know you could be lucky but then again you could not..
