Ok, I hope it is acceptable to put pics of the horse on here- if not can people let me know asap as I dont want to upset anyone. I posted yesterday about a mare- went back today to hack her out and we took a few pics I want her for RC and dressage BD level. She is four and been in work for 2 months. Opinions please- you may PM me if you prefer. The reason i am not sure whether to post is in case the horse is known to someone on the forum- and I dont want to upset them, however I have seen people post like this before- but as i say please let me know if i should delete the post! Otherwise opinions on conformation and anything you have noticed in general.

I am keen to purchace but just have one more horse to see tomorrow before i decide. Opinions please. Thank you!
 
I'm glad comments have been positive so far. Shes really baby like to ride- but she tries really hard and her attitude is second to none. Just have to see this gelding tomorrow who also sounds nice and make a decision- nothing is going to stop me this time! I've already lost out on one horse- dont want to loose out on another!
 
She looks lovely, nice long neck and pretty well put together, looks slightly croup high in some pics but could just be the angle. But she looks very willing and sweet so I would go for it.
 
I like her very much! Oh likes her too which is a huge compliment-His usual response is ...grunt..! Shes lovely now but just imagine what she'll be like when shes all grown up and muscled up!!!! How big is she and whats her breeding? Mairi.

She is apparently 16.1hh which she probably is, but due to lack of muscle etc she looks smaller. She is an TB 3/4 x ID (1/4) and oddly has the same great grandsire as my last horse - King of Diamonds. Shes a lovely girlie and a really liked her- but the problem is I only go and see horses that i really really like the look of otherwise i dont bother so i tend to see many nice horses then it becomes difficult to decide!
 
Well I have a just backed 3yo gelding that is very similar and almost identical in colour, mine has more bone but this mare has more length of rein. Mine is also 3/4 TB 1/4 ID with KoD on dams line.
I reckon you should buy her!
 
Both my horses have King Of Diamonds on their dams side!! They have great temprements, scopey jumps and lovely movement too!! Good luck if you decide to buy her!!

Unfortunately though shadowmonkey has decided not to purchase Fallon for the time being so she is still available...
