This fell through, and just as well as she ran out of money two months after the original discussion.I am [almost certainly] going let him go on loan where he will be looked after, but I think the loaner wants him to compete, and, knowing him as I do, I don't think he is the right type for this, but anyway, he has a training opportunity, and maybe somebody else will want to buy him, he is ideal as an RC type for someone who wants to learn how to bring a horse on.
The main thing is that she is overweight for him, I don't know how to broach the subject, I know I am at his limit, but he only hacks, and when jumping, has a lighter rider.
Potential sharer turned out to be a ten year old child!Last chance scenario: he is moving to a better yard and will be schooled for me, also a potential sharer lives up the road from his new stable, so it might just work, he has had a reprieve, I am very much happier, as things may just be starting to swing my way!
I have given up riding for good I think, lets hope someone turns up.Another one bites the dust,
yes I am advertising him as a horse which needs more flatwork, needs a confident and competent rider, sigh sigh sigh, another one comes along, tries him, he is well behaved, she is wobbly, ie can do a rising trot but cannot school, so why do they think they can ride anything other than RS plods... why do they think I discuss this sort of thing before they come? She goes away and discussed with her instructor....... then decides he is too much for her, what can I say, instructor has never seen horse, rider has a little ride round with no problem, OK she was not able to school him, but the fact remains she was not as confident or as competent as she made out.
That is exactly it, if I sell him cheap he will then be sold on to a novice and a downward spiral, he has a nice pop, just not suited to certain homes.Problem is your looking for someone who can ride or who wants to learn to ride properly. They are few and far between!
