Tall narrow natives, Arab?

I have video of this boy. He has movement for dressage and is really, really nice. He is a total bargain at £1500 and if anyone is looking for a slightly built 15/15.1 you could do a LOT worse. If I was still buying to sell, he would already be on the way here.

Yep, that one. Luckily I'm in no position for an unbacked 3 year old, no matter how tempting, so common sense is helping me sit on my hands. But my goodness there is something about him I like I have to say.

What age are you looking for in a PRE? Does it need to be backed?

I might take a really good two year old, but not at that price, would prefer 3 minimum and it can be unbacked, and entire.

I have a bad record with dark bays, I have lost all four I have ever owned early. One navicular, one blind, one fits and now Muffin. So I'm not keen to own another :(

Will keep an ear out, there seems to be an abundance of mares/fillies but not many boys. Missed lots of pages of this thread,so didn't see the flaxen chestnut D...will go back and look now :D

I need to stop joining in hho horse searches though, I keep finding relatives of mine that I then want to adopt. Found Arty's dad on horse quest a couple of weeks ago and just found the Dab man's full brother (one year younger) while looking at PREs ?.

Gutted about the dun but they may come back to you. Things are very unstable all over europe at the moment and Iv'e never seen so many nice looking horses for sale over here. Normally there are less around as we go into summer and then everybody dumps them before winter so they don't have to buy hay.
I will have a really good look as your criteria has changed and for 5000 euros you could find something very nice here.

I'm not liking the failure to stand over the back legs on the two dark ones, either.

Yes they aren't doing it for me either
 
If you'll look at lusos it would be worth checking out QRP dressage lusitanos (Though I'm afraid they're a way away from you!)

Also this is where my share horse came from, and his owner still has another horse, from the same people, who is kept with them (she goes to see him every few months usually) I have no idea on prices though I'm afraid.
Share horse is exceptionally well schooled but does have a tendency to hollow above the bit through transitions in particular but is 20 odd years old and in fine form, has had some wear and tear issues but nothing you wouldn't expect in an older horse with fairly high mileage. Training maybe not my cup of tea but based on my sample of the 2 horses, they have fantastic temperaments.

Me neither but the long distance people seem to like them. The one I mentioned above has a proper chest, I don't know why he is so cheap he's a cracking little fellow with a lovely springy movement.
