Tall narrow natives, Arab?

The gazaro stud has a few for sale so you could look at more than one if you made the journey.

Luckily I already have one but if I was in the UK and looking, I would definitely be tempted with this one

It isn't a journey I would do twice in one day, and an overnight is not allowed yet, so not possible sadly. .

Oh that is a total bummer

Has anyone here heard of Majestic Horses . com?
Iv'e been having a scout around and they keep coming up. They have some beautiful horses and a stunning young palomino. Also an even more stunning older palomino.Not cheap but I am quite impressed with the set up at first glance.

There's a facebook site too.
 
Two Bay girls on here, but I've no idea where this stud is..

Isn't sales psychology odd? I rang about the Welsh mare and she answered, then after hearing I was enquiring about the mare said she had another call coming in that she needed to answer and would ring me back. I told her I was going outside and would ring her later. And while I was outside for an hour, all I could think of was that because she is a mare she would be Muffin's death warrant and she isn't my perfect horse but a stopgap. And now I don't want to ring back tonight. Maybe tomorrow.....

Shoot me down if you like but I am not sure your heart and head are really in the right place just now to decide on a new one. Muffin must be taking up all your emotional strength and that is not good for making decisions. Could you bear to wait thro' the Summer and then see how things are later in the year when travel etc are hopefully easier?

I agree Trouper, my head is a mess, but I need something to look forward to, and I'm good at selling horses that don't turn out to be exactly what I need. It doesn't have to be 'the one' right now, just good enough.

I can't bear to leave Muffin too much longer. He's struggling in the heat and I can see it in what he's doing and what is already happening to his back by not using his neck properly. I did some research earlier and a lot of people say that their own and their horses' arthritis is worst in hot weather.

I don't think your heart is in it right this moment. The Spanish horse really set you alight. I am not sure anything else so far has come close to doing that.

This is true. On the other hand six grand is a lot of money to spend on a rash purchase, but the filly is two grand and will never be worth less unless she gets damaged. And at least give me something positive to think about.

Maybe keep looking, but don't view yet to avoid buying-on-a-whim. No harm in seeing what's out there, though, particularly as you like the ones which don't seem all that abundant. You could also put more money aside for importing something from Spain perhaps.

I'm good at buying on a whim C :) it's not a problem as long as you are honest with yourself and sell when the horse isn't right for you. Ludo was a whim and he is quite possibly the best horse I have ever owned.

And I DO know how lucky I am to be able to write this, but I don't need to put money aside to import, I already have it. The buckskin boy was just too much to risk unseen.

Both the welsh and pre fillies look lovely. Can you not divide your land for males and females?

What's the point? Muffin can't be retired, yet currently can't be worked either. His days are numbered with or without a new horse coming in. I won't take the risk he is in pain.

If selling later on doesn't bother you just go for it !!?

Still think this forum needs more PRE eye candy though....

I thought you were buying a 'forever' horse, in which case I don't think 6k is too much if the horse touches your heart.. If you're buying to sell on that's a different matter, but the two situations require a different mental approach.

I'm truly sorry about Muffin. You are obviously between a rock and a hard place at the moment, not the best time for decisions regarding a lot of money.. but there will be other beautiful Spanish horses for sale.

Of course 6k is OK for a forever horse, but not for a horse bought unseen.

I have space for both approaches.
 
For whatever reason this little bay caught my eye 3 years ago and I had to have him, sight unseen, from Spain to Germany ? Just to keep more PRE in this thread ?

I also had a plan and was completely comfortable with the possibility of reselling him if we didn't get on well. Now you'd have to pry him from my cold dead hands (most days, anyway). Great little weirdo he is. So if you're comfortable with the risk, a youngster isn't a bad idea. Especially because they haven't been trained or messed with too much typically. Less chance of having to "undo" improper training. IMO.
