Has anyone had any dealings with the dealers Sporting Horses Ltd - in Colchester Essex?

PM me if preferred.

Also what are people's thoughts on the following horses?

Looking for a youngish horse 15.3hh-16.3hh for mother/daughter share. Mainly SJ with some hunting/xc/dressage. Both mother & daughter compentent riders and not afraid of something sharp or green.

Don't know any of them although based in that area.
Shame you want something younger as know of a 14yo who would be perfect and a 12yo who would be worth looking at too.

No idea about the dealer, not a fan of the first one but then TB are not my cup of Tea. I do think the coloured looks nice though and very reasonable price.

I like the 1st owe best looks a real bargain and very willing and sweat. Would be interested in seing it's jump though.
Next I like the 2 one although I am not convinced he is a bit draw reiny but looks a nice type.
The 3 rd one looks very green I suspect from the photos he has not done much flat and just been jumped.
Never heard of the dealers sorry wrong area for me.

The TB is a fabulous stamp of a horse - very smart. Although from the pictures, I would guess that he is fizzy/sharp/slightly stressy due the amount he has been worked before the test(or maybe worked up travelling), and a little by the way he is being ridden. Personally would go and have a look as he could possibly be a very classy horse and an absolute bargain for the price. Would want to see him jump though!

The second looks like a big and green mare, and from the look on her face and her ears in the photos I would ring up as she looks like a nice trainable type, without saying that her sire generally produces althletic and trainable types. I also like her jump, and think for a mother/daughter looking to bring something on, she is at a good stage to be bought and brought on.

The third I like too, although not as much as the first and second. She is smart, but not as smart as the others, and looks a lot greener than the others.

The TB i'd wonder why he is in such a sweat....could just be him but is weak enough looking. I like the Unbelievable Darco mare would definitely go look at her. would wonder why the draw reins though? I've no problem horses being ridden in them but not for sales pics. The last one is quite green looking and I would guess still a bit rough around the edges. There is still something I like about her though.
