Probably jumping the gun

[Rosiefan]

... or anticipating the countdown, but I'm going to look at a horse tomorrow. I've been trying resist posting but I'm excited. R and her Mum have already seen him and he's looking like a possible. He's rising 5, chestnut and just arrived from Ireland - ISH. Green and a bit scruffy, but R felt very safe on him and daughter likes (important to me, I have faith in her judgement). He has no name yet but apparently was born on my birthday

ie late April.
We've looked at quite a few over the last few weeks but none was quite right. I'll take some pics and do an update after I've seen him.
Sorry - self indulgent

He's a lovely horse but he had her off with a 'head between the legs' buck when she tried to get him to canter and with her history she simply cannot risk another head injury

We might go back for another look when he's settled down and if he's still for sale in a month or so but it's a no-no for now.
Here's a couple of pics anyway (not nearly as scruffy as I expected)

Thank you for kind wishes/crossed fingers - the search continues
