..Hide this horse in their field for me, so I can buy it and not have to confess immediately?!

I’m kidding of course. My bank account does not need another potential walking vet bill. I should have learned not to fall in love with a photo…But so cute! Please can someone else buy him so I’m no longer tempted to?

I had a lovely warmblood mare that had rubbish front legs and she caused me no end of heartache.

Even the vet from Newmarket commented on them and I now know why her jumping career ended at 6 years old. Don't do it.

The video of him jumping doesn't exactly scream eventer to me but I kind of like him, faults and all.
Way too much money of course.

Amber is nice further down the page.

I'm following the page now 🤣 big sigh and eye roll 🤣

You don want him. Awful front feet, nasty front legs and really week through his loins.

And had a break, for what? And then doesn't want to run when he came back after the break = he's got something wrong with him that he isn't worth the money to investigate.

Very lovely head!

She needs to buy the chestnut on preloved his a nice little horse if I had the time and it wasn't winter I would be tempted, and chestnut is not my favourite colour now if he had been bay I would be crying
He was genuinely lovely but I didn’t ‘feel’ what I wanted to. I think my head still thinks no one can match up to how I feel about BBP.

Totally agree, no interest in running is a big flappy old red flag. Although to be honest, I seem to just mostly stand and look at my beautiful non-working horses anyway, so he’d fit right in as a pretty face to look at! 🤣

He may have a nice face, but those front fetlocks should be enough reason, no wonder he didn't want to run.

What is it that you see in his fetlocks that you don’t like? The pastern axis or something else?? Just curious as conformation interests me but I’m not great

I don't know what size you are looking for but there is a ridden new forest 13.2 for full loan on horsequest.

That one hasn’t come up in my search. I think a 13.2 might be a little small. BBP was 14hh and I would probably be too heavy for him now (but he is super finely built).

We are looking for a 4th so that we can take 2 out without ever leaving one alone. Either a companion pony or a nice hack that I can enjoy whilst bringing my young one on as it looks like I won’t back him til he is 5 or 6. Could be one seeking an easier life after a proper career. Probably 14hh-15.2. I did enquire about the chestnut arab but after seeing some videos decided he wasn’t for me, and was surprised how disappointed I feel, so maybe I do want an arab. I drove 2.5hrs to see a retired polo pony advertised as a hack but she was absolutely crippled lame.

Hardest part is finding one that will fit in with my 2 hooligans! They wrestle constantly so I have to keep them separate unless under supervision as BBP is fragile.

Have you looked on Arabian lines there were a few nice younger Arab's on there last time I looked.
