I want another horse due to having to retire the one I have, so looking but not seriously as currently have very little cash available. What I want is a sensible, kind, well mannered horse that is good to do, good to load and travel, good to hack alone and will take me round small local SJ and XC without killing me! It has to live out, my OH will not allow me to have a cribber (he does not want to be constantly repairing fencing) and I need one that is ready to go as I have limited riding time (no babysitters 
) so don't have the time to bring on something really green or sort out issues. Other than that, I'm not really fussy, age, colour, breed, fairly flexable on size, it doesn't have to be pretty, just kind, genuine, sound and healthy.
So, just before the change over, I posted to ask opinions on a horse I had seen advertised (the post has disappeared since). Most folks said it depends on what I want to do with it, hence I have typed all the gumf above. Horse was advertised for £1450 at the time. I phoned up about the horse and the seller did not sound particularly friendly, was very rude about everyone who has tried the horse so far and then more or less called me a liar, so I called it a day at that, not because of the horse, but because of the attitude of the seller. But, being nosey, I have kept an eye on the ad, the price went up to £1750 after my phone call, but has now droped to £1000, so I am now tempted to have a look! Should I, or shouldn't I??
