& also do you have any idea how much he would be worth?

Description as follows (I don't know a huge amount about the horse other than his present owner imported him and he's currently a happy hacker):

Super safe confidence giving, 16.1hh, well bred branded Czech Warmblood gelding, 9years old. Lovely paces, can do basic lateral work, jumps 1m 10 happily. Pretty much bombproof, well mannered and good in traffic, to load, catch, shoe and clip etc. Recent 5* vetting, to include well fitting good quality tack and rugs.
 
would wonder why he had a 5 star vetting yet was not sold??
He has a nice slope to his shoulder though a bit short in the neck and thick in the throat. He looks in very soft condition with little muscle to the second thigh.
He looks as though he would be a comfortable ride. Good luck!
 
He looks nice and kind. Probably stating the obvious, but ensure you get your own vetting done - his health may have changed since last vet, you never know. Price? £4k? Hey, probably way off but thought I would have a stab!

if he can jump that is bombproof and easy pretty much whatever the owner wants as that sort of horse is in demand.he is stunning, are you buying?
 
He belongs to a friend of a friend, haven't ridden him yet as I'm not sure if I should wait and keep riding the horse I'm currently riding and hope Fudge is sound enough to come back into work soon.
 
Is that a scar on his leg on the first pic? I would prob pay about £4k for him too if he is as bombproof as they say. He would be worth more once back to competition fitness I reckon if able to jump 1m 10 happily - so buy him before he's fitter and you make him fit LOL! x
 
He is pretty.
Slightly over the shoulder, but not that badly. Could do with a bit of a butt work out!

pretty face (even though half asleep in first piccie

hehe)

his feet looks relateively well angled, slightly straighti n the hock, but not significantly!
and I agree about slightly short int he neck...... but some WBs just are! some ar ethe other way and look like giraffes!!! hehe

He is pretty though! if as bomb proof i'd say 3.5-4K and agree if you work him to full fitness would be worth more!
