Tall narrow natives, Arab?

5 year old 15hh stallion on Arabian lines (1st advert) but no pics and is in Kent, cheap though. Same seller has 2 and a half year old bay colt, 1st ad in the cold section.
There is a also a bay 15hh 4 year old, again 1st listing in the gelding section.

Nothing else on HQ in brief, nor dragon driving either (which is where I would look for a welsh)

Eta- previous YO had a star andalusian. Horrendous conformation and arrived with an 'in your face' attitude, not my cup of tea at all I'm afraid. Not to say all of theirs are like that of course and sure you can work out for yourself what you like anyway!

I'm going to regret asking this but what sort of price would you expect to pay for something like this Cortez?

I'm not always the biggest fan of buying already ridden horses from Spain as they are often ridden very differently and can be difficult to unpick. But you can get some very nicely trained ones too.

Or, just throwing this out there, we could all learn how to ride them? (It is my opinion that the standard or riding and training is far superior in Spain).

Some of it is, some of it is not so good with the horses taught the tricks before anything else and some using some very harsh equipment to get there. Often the ones for sale for a cheap price are the latter trained and can cause issues when a different style of riding is used. I am not saying this is all of Spain a lot are very nicely ridden!

Well found MC! He's only been up for sale a week, i wonder why the price has dropped so far already.

I will go and see him.


Does anyone have a full Preloved account to get me the phone number? I am perfectly happy to pay the five quid, i would prefer to, but I won't let a company store my card details, so i can't pay them!

Go quickly, he's lovely !
Found some fabulous PRE's over here but most are grey or mares. Geldings are more popular, so command a higher price.
Think you would have to pay 4000 euro's minimum for a well put together one from here
 
If nothing comes from any of the above -

2hrs away from you - https://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/...location=manchester&advertType=forsale&page=4

1 hr away - https://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/...ord=welsh+d&sectionId=3365&advertType=forsale

chestnut arab stallion. Wrong colour and outside age range but striking boy http://www.adhorse.co.uk/advancedsearch.php?pr=n&bt=146&hr=n&ca=n&Submit=Search
(ignore the BS about him carrying a black gene lol, 1) there's no such thing and 2) he's chestnut so homozygous for the recessive allele at MC1R which produces red pigment only - the MC1R allele for black pigment is dominant so only one copy necessary and I swear, people forget it takes two horses to produce a foal.....)

He's on there twice and there's more pics on this ad http://www.adhorse.co.uk/horseforsale_66560.html

Another chestnut (sorry!) arab colt http://www.adhorse.co.uk/horseforsale_66640.html
They all seem to be either grey or female or chestnut!

That hasn't been my experience; by far the worst trained "problem" Spanish horses I've dealt with have come from the UK ;)

Yes. But where? It is unusual to find anything other than BHS style teaching or rather more 'alternative' methods in the UK. Even 'classical' style teaching is not easy to find here (usually distance related) let alone iberian type methods on iberian type horses. That is just my experience though - there may be a wealth of possibilties that I don't know about :) It is certainly one reason I did not choose an Iberian for my latest project.

Well, I'd start by offering under £4k and see what happens. What are "oddments" BTW? Intrigued....
Click to expand...

I was just making the point that for 5k max you would end up with potentially a really nice horse.

Oddments are everything that goes wrong along the way you didn't budget for! :D:D:D:D

OTOH, if movement ever becomes possible, they are a nice trip to Spain to learn to ride him. :D
