One of the girls who rides my ponies has just been told her OH and parents have been saving up for ages and now have the money to spend on her dream horse- which happens to be a Friesian. I know nothing about this breed but one has been sourced 3 hours from us and she is travelling up tomorow to try it. She is very novice, small (5ft.) Not what I would have chosen for her but its her dream to have one (think 11 years old sees black beastie flowing mane etc etc) . Her parents I know are trying to give her a dream but I do think they are rushing into parting with £5 and a half K without going into this unemotionally.
So does anyone know these Scottish Fresian people? Are they reputable and not likely to sell an unsuitable mare to a novice. She has been told the same old speil as in someone coming on Friday to try so you must rush up to see it tomorow.! I cannot go at such short notice (work) but she is determined to go. Heart ruling head. All I know is they were bred for driving and as such big movers (she is very insecure in her seat.) likely to be fiesty.
Once she has parted with her money it will be her problem if its not right!
