Whats your opinion of this youngster? Is it worth the money? never had a coloured before, looking for something to show and do RC with.

B u m p !

Does it look very broad in the chest to you, given the amount of bone?
Nicely marked though

 

[Petalpoos]

Looks like a nice person, but does seem to have a lot of body for the legs.

 

[Singing Dawg]

Thank you for replies, i thought he was quite fat for a 3 year old, something to do with the amount of grass he's living on maybe!

Cant really see his pasterns or angle of them very well but could he be a bit long or too sloping i wonder?

 

[Dizzydancer]

looks a nice sort, he does look well set on the chest, he reminds me of my boy a bit actually!! Agree cant see his pasterns well enough.
Looks lovely though, and i am jelous of all that grass!!

 

[Apricot]

Not a coloured fan, but really like him.

 

[Spins]

seems like alot of money to me for what he is?? ie untouched.. Now he is very pretty but IMO in the current market you might get more for your money esp if your willing to travel to Ireland.. theres quite a few bargains to be had!

Not a lot of money when you see Grand sire is the great Cruising! I think he looks a really good sort, love the colour and with Grey Macha as well in his line he will make a nice sport horse, if breeding has any say in it anyway! He has a lot of ID in his lines so he will be heavier. I love his face he has a sweet look, very scientific I know!

Personally I would not bother with him and leave him to me to buy

Hope it works out if you decide to buy him IMHO even though I think he is worth the money I bet there is a deal to be done, especially in Ireland at present.

Well spotted Spins, I would have him in a heart beat. Hope the OP gets him, to me he is well worth it. I will get you looking next time I buy!

[Spins]

hehe thanks! No probs I look at them for sport these days! Me too he'll be a show stopper!

 

[horsey mad matt]

if i could afford it i would be there quicker than you can say 'quick', that is a real nice horse!!

 

[ashlingm]

Wow, what a great find Spins! Bit of a donedeal detective

 

[calon]

well done for finding him on cheaper add a real bargain on that one

 

[AmyMay]

You'll need to get some more up to date photo's - as these are not recent. Ask them for plain ones stood up on concrete so that you can have a good look at his legs.

Doesn't seem a lot of money, I agree.

 

[Bethie]

Looks a little tied in at the knee perhaps, although pictures can be deceiving, but overall a nice sort and should do well at RC level.

 

[Luci07]

Like him - a lot and not a fan of coloureds particularly but like his breeding. Think he could well end up being more of a HW hunter type though with that amount of ID in his lines - particularly if he is already 16.3 at 3.

 

[YasandCrystal]

He's lovely, definately my type of horse. Let us know if you go for him!

 

[Amaranta]

I like him lots and he is a bargain to boot!

I like the fact that he has a good chest - lots of heart room! Nice depth through the body too, would buy him in a heartbeat!

 

[bensababy]

I really like him, think the price is a good deal consdiering the breeding. Think he is well put together and a nice stocky type - looks in good shape for a 3 year old.

 

[Singing Dawg]

Well, before you all start phoning, he's sold......... and arriving with us in the very near future!! Bought him through the Donedeal ad, only found the coloured contacts ad afterwards so he was at the right money.

Look out for more pics soon

 

[Bug2007]

He looks lovely and he has a heart shaped patch on his side.

Fantastic, now all we need is lots and lots of pictures and updates on him. What will you call him?

[Spins]

great! good luck with him!! can't wait for pics!!

 

[Singing Dawg]

Well he arrived this afternoon courtesy of Andrew Dunlops handsome young driver. Sweaty, hairy and as green as a cabbage but he moves beautifully and we're very very pleased!

The pics in his ad were last summer, he is actually four (in July) this year so will be able to do a bit more with him. Cant wait to get started!

 

[JoBird]

You LUCKY bunny! He is fab and i am glad you bought him. We need an up to date photo when he has settled and at 4 you can really get cracking with him. I think you have a winner on your hands, he really is something special in my opinion.

 

[Spins]

We need an up to date photo.. .

^^ and of the driver too please!!

Great he got there ok can't wait to see the pics of him going and doing something!!!

Spins, do you think you could reduce your siggy so that it doesn't stretch the screen? It makes it so difficult to read threads - and slow. I reckon it's about a third longer than the recommended size of 700 x 200

Ta muchly

 

[Spins]

sorry.. (it is under the limit) i have just been having arguments with photobucket.. but will do
