I like him, he`s got a kind eye and prob looks totally different now.

I had the perfect horse for you two weeks ago, 15.2 3yo welsh sports horse, black 4 whites :D sadly think new owner has already sold him on :(

He still hasnt got back to you then? What a git, especially as you werent sure you wanted to sell him anyway :(
 
He has a lovely kind eye but does look very immature to me (my two year old looked more mature last summer!). Go with your eyes wide open and ask lots of questions!

If you do decide to buy I would also get him vetted (including blood tested!) just to be on the safe side.

Is it me or is he wearing a felt pad/breaking saddle in one of the piccys?

Looking forward to your update later :)

nope just put a thread on here about it :( Has been accepting loads of other peoples friend requests, so going to take a drive past end of month when on my way to Glanusk :) I think he`s been sold
 
does not look in good condition to me as others have said.

Just a quick point becareful posting pics of a horse you havent bought. this part of the forum is not locked down and anyone can see it. ;)
 
Others have given good advice, all I can say is yes have a good look at his teeth!
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
 
He looks very young in the photos and it upsets me to see a saddle on him that doesn't fit. :(

He's got a kind eye although needs a lot of work, correct feeding and a good farrier.

Good luck
 
I think he looks a nice sort :)

I would try and see if you can confirm his age as he looks a lot younger and take a good look at his feet.

Good luck and let us know how you get on :D
 
That is a baby! His tack doesn't fit! The bit has been dragged up his face(why?)and makes him look like he's grimising poor love! He's in poor, poor condition under all that hair and you could be up for a bumpy ride if you buy him!? (scuse the pun)

.............apart from that, he's quite nice.
 
He looks a lot younger than 6 and is badly missing any sort of top line which would suggest he hasn't been correctly worked or fed.

Have a good look at his front Pasternak/hoof conformation.

Nice kind eye
 
He does look quite young, if he's 6 he's not in the best nick, id have to say hasnt been worked to develp his body, makes you wonder what his minds like.
That said he might fill out well with correct feeding and work to develop his body and mind. Its difficult to give an opinion from the photos, id want to see him move, and also how he reacts to people.
Good luck whatever you do
 
Ok, so I'm not going to say how it went, what happened etc, until you give me your opinion. I have uploaded pictures below, so be honest

awwww now they are better pics of him :)

I bet you got on really well with him judging by the smile on last pic anyway, def needs work but hey he's only young?..

with the right work load feed love etc he will be really quite nice......

OK aaaaannnnnddddd................???? :D
 
He does look better although still looks very immature to me, I guess with time and correct feed/work he will muscle up and look better.

Is that scarring on his Withers?
 
he looks a sweetie, as above, needs some muscling up but he looks alot better than the first pics.

So????
dont keep us waiting too long :)
 
His background,try and find out as much as you can.Did he race ,who trained him? talk to the trainer. I quite like him(I,m a soft touch for all TB s ) but dont pay a lot for him and get him vetted ,if you think he might be the one.
 
Can't do quotes on phone, but you all have to wait until tomorrow when I show you 'action' shots, then see what you think lol. He does pretty impressive handstands ;) lol. And yes it is rub marks, from a rug allegedly lol.

Shall upload tomorrow, but now I'm off to bed :) night all :)

Honest opinion, I wouldn't touch him with those front legs. Looks like the suspensories have gone, his fetlocks are very close to the floor, and he's tied in below the knee. He also has a very upright shoulder. I don't think he would be upto much work I'm afraid, and has probably done too much too early, hence the front pastern angle.
Sorry.
 
Ihotse - are you judging that from the first photo's or the latest lot?

If the OP got the horse vetted I am sure a vet would point this out?

Personally I think this horse looks like a very good project although I think his eventful history doesn't quite ring true for a 6 year old.
 
I'm judging it on the latest photos, I wouldn't want to see a horse, in walk, with it's fetlocks on the floor. I wouldn't waste money on a vetting, but that is just my opinion, and the OP is the one spending the money, so hey ho!!
 
Looking at the last photo - I see where you are coming from and I also notice he is unshod being ridden on a stoney track. But at the end of the day, when money is tight, you can't expect a world class horse ;)

I guess it comes down to what the OP wants from the horse - will she want a full season's hunting for the next ten years, a happy hack and little bit of low level riding club or a project to sell on?
