Tall narrow natives, Arab?

Her skin colour and points all suggest she is champagne genetically as well though. Cream doesn't dilute the points on bay based horses because they're melanin and it wouldn't give the purplish skin or freckles though. You probably know all this I know....I just can't quite get over there being a champagne so close to home, never mind it potentially going to someone on HHO. ??
 
While I am a Appy fan, I'm not so into the color of the filly or her conformation. Now, I know she is just 3, and things can be awkward at that age, so there's that. My last Appy stayed quite bum high. Should've been 15.3 if his withers caught up to his bum! But alas, he just made 15.1 he was built for bucking and he knew it ? he was a good horse, but man could he buck if the mood struck.

But the color of the filly is interesting, as is the price. I've always thought that Appaloosa pony mares were the stuff nightmares were made from ? (attitude) this one could make horse height though, so there's that!

Also not keen on her confo, to my eye she is not so much bum high and growing into herself as very croup high, she does have a clear whither and a very short almost dipped back, fitting a saddle will be tricky, finding one for a tall rider may prove really difficult, her hind leg is better than some Appy's but being a pretty colour is not enough and I guess the breeders know she is not a great example which is why the price is low.

I'm under no illusions as to her conformation, but I like her as a pretty thing to look at out of the window and if she stays in one piece she'll never be worth less than she is now. She's just about big enough for me to back. She's not a keeper, she's a stopgap until I find the right PRE or Luso, however long that takes. I doubt very much he'll deliver her from Oxfordshire to Manchester, but worth a try.

can you not just pay a transporter?

I could, but then she wouldn't be a price I would throw away on a horse which is only a companion/stopgap, bought unseen, who could be too small for me to even ride when she gets off the lorry. The number of unseen purchases who shrink on the ferry from Ireland is legendary ?

I would just factor that into your negotiations pre price with the seller (as in what your willing to pay- not using it to negotiate!) .I expect you’d be looking at around 300 for that journey?

I think the first photo is naff and she is stood with her hind feet on a hump. The second doesn't show her croup high, but it's always possible she's stood with her hind feet in a dip ?.

No go, it would be private transporter and I would have to arrange it and it adds hundreds of pounds to her price and aggravation in my life I don't need right now. Shame, I'd have liked to see her when I drew the curtains in the morning!

No answer from the bay Welsh mare that was too much for the owners, she must be sold.

Waiting for an answer to my message to Maesmynech now to see what they have.

All the arabs I know are barrels unless in racing condition ? my friend has a taller boy who isnt a barrel and is pushing 16hh. But he's chestnut with 4 whites... She got offered 20k for him at one endurance race so they are definitely sought after!!
I used to ride a Welsh D who was actually fairly narrow and 15.1 loved him as he didn't kill my hips and was such a lovely boy. Little bolshy but nothing irritating. So they are around ?
Connie's could definitely be around the right size. I've also known a few NF x arab crosses that were lovely but might be a little on the small size
 
Yeah, actually, many Arabs that I've known have been built like propane tanks! The Connie that I ride looks solid, but isn't terribly wide. I've known some nice, but sharp, Connie x TB crosses.

Out of interest, where in Oxfordshire is she?
