Pricing on 'potential' advice

[Goldenstar]

I would never buy an obese horse again however good and proven it was .
Bad feet , obese heavens what else wrong and at nine a horse has completely missed the boat potential wise .
Not easy dressage horses .
If you like her that counts for a lot offer him 2k and don’t budge .

10k?! Thats crazy. She isn't worth over a few thousand (at most!) with those issues, if she was proven in something say showing, dressage completely different but not proven in anything and those issues I can't see him getting that money.

Maybe hes given you a stupid price as he knows you love her? Try and put your head in front of your heart with this one, 10k is a hell of a lot of money.

Not at that price. Not if you know you want to do competitions. If you had a stable full of horses, facilities, time, etc. then it might be worth a gamble, at the right price which isn't £10,000. I know a very nice Friesian that is doing Grand Prix but I think he was a problem child and the rider gave him a home just to see what he could do, and it turned out well. But it might not have and she had the time and facilities and the experience to bring him on.
