Potential New Horse Thread - Vetting Today!

[Maxidoodle]

He’s absolutely lovely, I can see why you were tempted. He looks like a Finnegan (Finn) to me.

 

[splashgirl45]

He looks nice and sensible in the video, he wasn’t getting uptight because he was being chased which is a positive if you are looking for a sane horse which I assume you are .. very exciting, hope he passes

 

[Peglo]

He is lovely. Best of luck with the vetting. I love a new horse day so really hoping it goes well.

 

[Red-1]

I have stalked him on FB. Just makes you like him more and more. People who have horses by the same stallion, same stamp, all say how wonderful they are. Looks like they really jump too!

 

[rabatsa]

Nac Mac Feegle for a name, readers of Terry Pratchett will know of them.

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Wow he looks lovely fingers crossed for the vetting

 

[ArklePig]

He's beautiful!

I'd call him Fintan or Cormac.

 

[Cowpony]

Congratulations, he looks lovely. I think he looks like a Fergus

 

[Birker2020]

Super, congrats
There's a 3yr old grey ISH in Lari's old paddock. He's called Connor. Name suits him.

 

[Lexi 123]

I have seen him advertised he looks love .

 

[nagblagger]

He's gorgeous..what about paddy-mac?

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Rafferty’s Mystique, Raff for his stable name.

 

[IrishMilo]

Stunning. Looks like a much bigger version of my old boy, Milo.

 

[Trouper]

He looks utterly gorgeous and as for his movement.....................
Somehow the name Duncan came into my head when I saw his face - but Finnegan might work too!!

It was those posts that further swayed me, two posts with sisters saying that they’re just the best horses - the stallion definitely puts his stamp on them!

Oooh I like Fergus too, that definitely goes on the shortlist.

My big Irish OH is called Conor, I think he may be a bit put out if I call ‘my’ other big Irish man the same


No news yet, it was a ‘when I get time’ from the vet so I am completely in the dark… my nervous heart might burst at this rate!

My old man vet also works on when I get time and he’s visited my horses at like 8pm some nights so don’t hold out for a call before 5/6! Some vets here don’t work on normal hours

Good to know! It’s Lagan Valley Vets, not sure if you’ve heard of them but he definitely sounded the old school type!

 

[Merrymoles]

Very nice! And you've got a lot of name suggestions that I wouldn't argue with!

 

[dixie]

Oh fingers crossed for you, I love an athletic ID.

I like Connor or maybe Ronan for a name.

 

[Btomkins]

What a stunner, I can definitely see why you were tempted! Good luck and fingers crossed for the vetting.

 

[Pippity]

Nac Mac Feegle for a name, readers of Terry Pratchett will know of them.

I wouldn't want a horse with anything Feegle-ish about it!

He's stunning! Fingers crossed he flies through the vetting and is with you soon!

 

[spacefaer]

We've used Lagan Valley. They're good vets. Very experienced and also very practical

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

He’s only gone and passed!! Eeeeeek! I am utterly thrilled, won’t post the photos as the vet is in them but he looks brilliant too.

Just need to call yard in the AM to confirm ref: strangles test and delivery and he’ll be on his way!

Oh god, I sold everything I owned two years ago… what do I need to buy! Wheelbarrow, head collar and buckets I think is about it!

 

[Ambers Echo]

Fabulous! I found him in FB . He looks lush x

How exciting!! That’s amazing shouldn’t be hard to get him over there’s companies going every day nearly!
Nothing better than a new horse

 

[spacefaer]

Exciting! congratulations!

Thoroughly recommend Bramhams of Buckingham if you haven't got a transporter sorted already.
They'll send you a video of him loading and keep you updated all the way over

Adam ships all the time so assured me it’s no big deal from a logistics point of view! I paid a price to include transport with the company he works with (Equitrans)

I am going to be itching with impatience now until he’s here!

 

[Archangel]

Congratulations - he looks fabulous.

 

[nagblagger]

Shetland..can I just ask, if this happens when 'you are not really looking'. - what happens when you are?

 

[AmyMay]

Congratulations!
