Not for myself particularly, a friend asked me to post.

Only thing I'd be inclined to find out is why it hasn't been schooling much recently.

what do you think? Thanks for any help.

Ad says she is for sale due to illness and that maybe the reason for the lack of recent schooling.

If she is as described I think she'd be a really good buy.

Maybe the horse is just too much for the owner? A lot of people say for sale due to illness, which in some cases is absolutely true but it's easier for someone to say that than the horse is too much for them. I could be completely wrong in this instance though and if they are genuine then that would explain why she has had time off. If she is as described with no hidden agenda then it's a good price

Wow she looks like she could be a real bargain. Would be nice to know when the photos were taken. I'd enquire if i had the cash

I read the ad as saying that "She has had a lot of time off from the schooling side of things and has been introduced back into it in recent months. She is snaffle mouthed and is working really nicely in the school. Works in an outline and has lovely paces, her lateral work is improving everyday."

So she hadn't done much but is now working nicely. Shame there's no flatwork photos.

I like a lot. I'd be inclined to see some vids if they have any

Thanks for the opinions. Will tell friend to ring then, and have a look if all sounds well.

I would say due to owners illness or the horse has had winter off?

Shes nice though
