Tall narrow natives, Arab?

I know I'm late to the party and it's complete irrelevant really but I just wanted to say how much I love the drive over the Woodhead to Barnsley. I grew up about 10 mins from Glossop and my parents still live there - the hills over that way are beautiful. When I worked in Nottingham I used to visit my parents on my days off and drive from Chesterfield back over the hills via Hayfield which is also a really nice drive. I miss it so much now I'm down south!

Probably all wrong, but new ad, 1 hour old.

3 yo Connie filly to make 14.2hh. £1k due to sarcoids (doesn't say where they are, hopefully not near an eye) in Cornwall but maybe cheap enough to buy unseen?

Stacey?

Stacey is a big lump of a 3 year old! She is nicely bred on both sides, she will make an ideal rider or brood mare! Excellent size feet! Good boned. She is halter broke only, a blank canvas for any prospective buyer.

She is easy to load on box and goes in and out of a stable no problem. She is currently 14.2hh but has a lot of growing left to do

Breeding, sire Ffrydlan Hugo Llwyd (by Coscaron Cymro Llwyd) Ffrydlan Llwyd shown in photo. Dam Hermas Stella (by Gantra Welsh Comet).

Selling as I already have one full sister and one half sister here. Genuine interest only. Transport can be arranged at cost for a reasonable distance. No texts, phone calls only.

Price: £900

Location: Swansea

Sorry Muffin is deteriorating so quickly :(
In 2 weeks time I may have a 12hh gelding needing a companion home, all dependant on how a vet visit goes for my mare, if it helps to have a back up. He's a horror but a cute horror and a wily old man who makes a good companion.

That's lovely, thank you. I couldn't offer anything permanent but if you were prepared to let him come for the summer, if he can eat rough grass all night, I would be very interested if I haven't bought by then.

He's fat but can handle rough grazing, I'll keep you updated how I get on with my mare and if he then needs someplace to go or not :)
 
Going back to my 'horse breeds' book - I believe the 'Shagya Arab' is a taller arab.

Also look at connie x as an option - mine is quite narrow :)

Where are your shetlands ycbm?

Are they not suitable companions whilst you are looking?

One went back two years ago to the person I bought her from, she was a metabolic disaster when she was only three. The other was sold last Christmas. I had a choice of buying her a companion after her loan home failed, or selling, and I chose not to take the risk of ending up with another nightmare no- grass- at- all pony and sold her. She's been hacking out with a two year old on her!

Beginning to wish I'd bought a companion instead :(

ycbm not sure if this has already been mentioned but WHW and Bluecross are both rehoming again now and have taller finer sorts looking for companion homes so you wouldn't have to worry about too much grass, though I guess a rescue might not be exactly a straight forward horse.
