Subject to vetting...i have my new horse :)

[Cash]

Last week i posted about a horse who I went to see and was lovely, but I really wasn't sure about. Well, I went to try him again today, and I am in love.
Brought a very experienced friend who is certainly not as easily smitten as me and she liked him too.
I put on a little pair of spurs today (as owner suggested- didn't use them last time) and he was a dream- pinging everything out of a rhythm (mostly, see pic below ) and being really genuine when I put him on a numpty stride. Then took them off, BP on, and went over some XC jumps they had nearby- he was just great.
Parents have done the necessary negotiation, vetting is taking place this week and subject to that I'll have him at the end of next week! (would be sooner but I have an ODE on current horse this weekend so wouldn't have the necessary time to spend on settling him in!! )
No proper photos I'm afraid as Dad is not that able when it comes to working his shiny new Blackberry's camera but I do have a token comedy shot of horsey taking a flyer and rider employing her emergency backwards seat

Slightly better one:

Fingers crossed for vetting.
PS. No comment on rider please, it's not me

so glad you've found one... after lots of planning, but luckily not too much looking. i hope he flies through the vetting and is home with you soon... so we can get some proper pics! yay! xxx

Oh, no, there was looking- we looked all summer, viewed several, got a casual loan with view to buy from a friend(which turned out to be just a loan, as I soon discovered I did NOT want to buy him )... so yep, there's been looking too which makes me all the more happy to find him
And yes, I'm afraid I may crash the shiny new forum by putting too many pictures up once I get him home
Just praying he passes vetting!! xx
