I have never owned my own horse. I have shared and loaned a few and I have worked at two yards. One which had many ex racers.
Yes I have ridden ex racers and am experienced but why does that mean I need to then buy a spicier horse!? Not that it’s any of your business but I have a family member who is unwell and they used to ride a lot and I’d LOVE to be able to buy a horse who they could occasionally get on. Also, when and if I’m lucky enough to eventually have children, it would be nice to have a sensible horse to have around.
Is that really so complicated? I haven’t encountered bullies in a long time!
Hi, I had sort of decided to avoid replying to rude messages. I don’t understand what’s strange about this?

Thank you. I don’t really understand what is weird about what I’ve said!!! Strange that adults still bully each other from behind a screen!

At least you asked for advice and the fact there is that advice around. When I got my first horse many years ago no way would anyone have bought him. He was like a hat rack. But he was my horse. He was difficult as hell but he taught me everything. I was so pleased I had a horse. We dealt with his many problems and basically just got on with it. He was better off with me than anyone else as i knew no different.
If I had put up a photo and said would you buy this horse 100% no way even myself now would say that.

That’s lovely! I bet you absolutely adored each other.
Well exactly, I know this horse won’t be a good buy and I’m unlikely to buy him. But I just pray he goes to a good home who don’t overwork him.. he doesn’t deserve that x

No bullying, just you've ignored a posts from a couple of us in the county, I could have offered more assistance once I knew which drag hunt you went out with or were planning to, as know a good number of folk in both, and others over county borders. JenJ also has contacts in the county too.
Anyways, I'm out.
Good luck with purchase.

I don't get this whole post... asked for opinions and then ignored... if you want to spend 9.5k on an exracer who clearly has issues going on, then you carry on, it's your money to spend and i hope you are very happy with your dream horse. There are plenty of people offering great advice on here and suggestions but all ignored. a long career in racing will have a lot of wear and tear on joints too, so expect to medicate them. He's not high mileage in terms of making it to the race course, but any long gaps will indicate time off for injury etc and not a holiday. But hey.... what do we all know? ....

I said this was an issue on earlier photos and shot down. Said it was how the horse was standing.
Thanks for posting this

Omg the sensitivity on this forum!! Never shot you down. I definitely agree he’s not right hence why I’ve been worried! I wondered if the way he was stood made it hard to tell.I said this was an issue on earlier photos and shot down. Said it was how the horse was standing.
Thanks for posting this
Anyway let’s all just leave this conversation. I’m not buying the horse thanks to all of the very helpful advice which, for the hundredth time, I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE!!!
Happy Christmas
