Difficult to tell - may just have been my comp but writing was green on green so almost impossible to read.

Worth a look,looks to be popping the jump nicely!
Tbh she is only 5 with no competition experience so i dont think £1k is unreasonable!
Am not surprised she has been out of work with the shitty weather we have been having..the break may have done her good being so young and ex racer
(my lad has been out of work since since november as i hate the winter,but would advertise him as a saint because he is
,we are not all dodgy)
Go along and see for yourself...wouldnt consider buying without a vetting though

Yep 5yr old ex racers are 2 a penny,unless they are showing potential competeing they are worth peanuts!

I would go and look if I did not think OH might string me up if I added anymore to the growing number that we already have!!

Go and have a look! TBs off track do tend to be cheaper as they don't appeal or are not suitable for lots of riders. If you feel you have the experience to deal with and ride a young TB then go for it! Just remember they are often quiet to ride before much is asked of them. This is great if you are an experienced rider wanting a clever thinking horse, not so great if you are novice wanting straight forward no complications mount.
I thin she looks lovely! Let us know how you get on if you go to see her

I would recommend having a good look. I am biased as my guy is an ex hurdler and a year younger. He was already schooled to quite a degree. I'm a novice and although he could not be described as a novice horse he is very laid back, looks after his rider and does what you ask - after he's had his stand around do nothing take the mickey kinda thing.
If he's anything like my guy I'd grab it. Same price as mine was too.
Ex-race 5 YO are 10 a penny but there are some diamonds out there. We have an ex BSJ competition rider who used to work in the race yards and she said he was worth twice the value we paid (she rides him for "schooling" purposes
). That's not the point - the point is he was such a good horse he was worth that upped appraisal.
Go for it but go in with your eyes open
