Tall narrow natives, Arab?

I have cancelled. He is a colour I promised my OH I would not buy. I have owned several bright chestnuts with a lot of white and in one way or another they were all temperamentally high maintenance horses. I discussed it once with a vet who grew up among horse traders and she says the same. Not all, of course, just a high proportion.

And I am so fragile at the moment over Muffin, who made it clear today that he did not want a saddle on his back, that I might buy him 'by accident', as a knee jerk, and regret it. It's a bad time of year to geld a stallion, too.

Keep looking please?

Darn it. Now I've found a 3 year old Granny horse and I want her! ? But no horse buying money or field space or ability to bring on a 3 year old...
 
I have a good friend selling a 3 year old d. Just a minor issue that it’s bay (bright bay though!) and a mare. Otherwise absolutely cracking mare and she’s around 15hh now.

Sensible decision if you were not entirely happy with what you were looking at. I think if you really want something that is not too expensive, a nice project and unspoilt you should contact some of the studs directly. Of course some/many of the studs you might like will be in Wales but if you don't want to spend too much money and can buy unseen/on photos and videos then that would be a good way forward. You wouldn't necessarily waste your time travelling and can potentially choose colours/gender etc before you get anywhere near pictures. Same goes for any breed of course!! Also, you may well find a better bargain that way as there are no middle men wanting to make a bit of money as well as saving yourself time and energy going to view. You are doing right by Muffin :)

Welsh D geldings. Maybe a bit too far away?

This one is bay and south of Birmingham (but north of Worcester).

I'm interested. Bright bay is my preference. Mare is less of an issue now it is obvious that Muffin is more sore in hot weather than in cold, and his days are very literally numbered. I know Ludo is very sweet with mares, even when he was a stallion.

Bay isn't bad, is anyone close by who would like to go view? Don't know how big it is though, I would need to ring.


The other - navicular in the right fore. Classic stance!

here’s her ad. She’s cheap, but I didn’t know about the capped hock thing until I found her advert just now. It wouldn’t bother me if I weren’t showing though as it’s superficial. I know the seller personally and she is very honest and trustworthy.
