If you were to phone up about these horses what questions would you ask? I would like the horse for hacking & riding club level competitions & i need a confidence giver. (I know height, age & price from the info boxes so dont need to ask these)

1) B,K is a lovely stamp of a typical Cob which i have owned since she was a yearling, B K as a lovely nature and is a genuine and honest Mare. B,K is a much loved family member and is sadly only for sale due to my personal circumstances so must go to a five star home that she deserves.B.k is 110% in traffic and as been ridden on a regular basis. B.K is participating in all pony club activities that include Musical Rides, pony club camp 2010, and all pony club rallies including beach rides and general country side hacking. B.K will make an excellent Family Horse or a mother and Daughter Share as she as the potential to be suitable for nervous, novice and experienced riders to include children, mums ,granny's and grand dads B.K will be greatly missed so must go to a five star permanent home. No dealers, day trippers or time wasters just genuine enquiries only as this is an heartbreaking sale. B.K is excellent to box, shoe and clip and is vaccinated and wormed up to date.

2) I BOUGHT THIS YOUNG MAN TO GIVE ME CONFIDENCE, AND HE HAS DONE JUST THAT. HE IS NOT SHARP BUT IS NO PLOD AND IS RESPONSIVE TO ALL AIDS, HE WOULD SUIT ANY RIDER INCLUDING NOVICE.PERFECT FOR ALL THE FAMILY, TOGETHER WE HAVE DONE UNNAFF DRESSAGE, SHOW JUMPING AND WON RIBBONS WE HAVE ALSO DONE XC. HE IS NEVER SILLY STRONG OR NAPPY, ALL HE WANTS IS TO PLEASE. HE HAS A SUPURB TEMPERAMENT,VERY EASY TO DO.GOOD TO SHOE CLIP BATH ETC WILL TRAVEL ON TRAILER OR LORRY AND STANDS.GIVEAWAY PRICE DUE TO TIME OF YEAR. BEING SOLD DUE TO NO FAULT OF HIS OWN.
5* HOME ONLY, PLEASE NO JOY RIDERS OR DEALERS THIS IS A HEART BRAKING SALE.

Thanks!

Sally
 
I think the main thing is get them talking and try to have a conversation not the spanish inquisition. Remember to dig a bit into why they are being sold because most genuine horses like you are after are passed on through PC/RC or BHS instructor grape vines. Unless of course they've done none of the above. Hope it works out for you.
