part 2 - helping a friend view a horse

[catwithclaws]

well i'm home again after 2 hours of driving...

exactly like i said, and u guys all agreed.

way too much for her, the owner had been completely honest and up-front, but she rode it for 10 mins and promptly said 'i dont like it' which i could have told her beforehand.

but hey...at least they didnt make a huge mistake, and i can get back to horse-hunting for something more suitable

 

[Parker79]

What is she looking for? I didn't see part one and as your local I can keep an eye out!

 

[catwithclaws]

she's a bit further east - bognor regis way. but shes after the 16h+ holy grail, allrounder for RC activities, doesn't need to be a world beater by any means, but budget is MAX 3k...fancy a challenge

 

[Parker79]

Love a challenge!! its a buyers market so she might get lucky!

Where have you been looking? what age will she consider?

love horse hunting!

 

[catwithclaws]

I've had a quick flick on horsemart and horse quest. They want Sussex or Hampshire really, not too fussed on age but probs not under 6 or over 14 as she wants it to be a long term thing xx

 

[Parker79]

Any joy with NFED or preloved? lots of lovelies on NFED at the moment....totally love the huge gelding posted a few days ago!

OP that's a result you know now that the teenager is sensible and knows when she's over horsed you have had a practice run so to speak.
And let's have a HHO round of applause for an honest seller.

 

[Parker79]

Had another thought...a while back Crofton were selling a few..dont know if they still are..I never saw them advertised.

 

[Honey08]

Thats good news. At least you didn't have to talk them out of buying the wrong one!

 

[Sparkles]

It's never a buyers market for that type of horse I'm afraid!

But, at 3k, more than likely to find something

 

[Sparkles]

I love the look of this chap. He caught my eye earlier. He seems the real Irish gentleman safe allrounder type. [Might not be! Just saying, lol.] I can see him looking lovely and smart in nice big flat chunky hunter tack
