Tall narrow natives, Arab?

[HashRouge]

Right guys. Current strategy.

Loan or buy a stand-in as soon as I can. Take my time to find the right PRE/Luso 'forever horse'.

Stand-in spec.

Big enough to ride.
Old and strong enough to back if unbroken.
Sellable, maximum age 6.
Close if possible. North west, North Central, North Midlands. Will buy unseen from further away but it would have to be a decent horse, and cheap.
All colours accepted.
Max spend £2000, £1250 for unseen.


Go to it!

Are greys and all chestnuts back in for the stop gap horse?

That's what it says ?

 

[HashRouge]

Fab! I'm still determined to get you an Arab even if it's a stop gap! There just aren't many for sale at the moment, which is really frustrating!

I know that you brought on a cob type before, so maybe another of that sort that will appeal to buyers once he's backed, schooled and gained experience? He's also not too heavy as a part bred. Bad photo though. 15.2hh 4yo in Crewe.

Errrr? Maximum age 6 ?

I already own a crock I don't need another!

I just felt really sorry for the old guy and thought I could slip him in ?

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Yeah they aren't the best. Not many cobs for sale at the moment appear to have a great hind leg. Everything I've thought looked better put together is about 12hh or well out of budget. I hope something new comes on the market soon that matches your criteria better.

You'll just have to move.

Why would anyone move from the wonderful place of Manchester ?

 

[Chinchilla]

I saw the old guy. Wish I had £900. I'd really love him. Not even being unrealistic about it, a sane and sensible little oldie would be a really good idea for my wimpy self ? oh well, never gonna happen.

Will keep searching for a stopgap steed for you I suppose ?

A bit of punctuation may have helped with the advert you posted DabDab.

Too small, are we seeing a pattern here ? ?

 

[cobgoblin]

Everything under 2k is selling really fast. What the hell is happening?

 

[DabDab]

Nah, they'd be fine. You're about 5'8 aren't you? I'm the same and this pony isn't even 14.2hh, and from memory Cortez is tall with tiddly horses too

 

[ycbm]

Everything is selling really fast full stop, the market is utterly crazy!

I have contacted three rehoming centres to try and get a loan until the recession hits and it all goes crazy in the other direction.

[RHM]

A horse I enquired about yesterday had sold unseen within 48 mins of advert being posted. The market is insane, or at least its driving me to insanity!

 

[Mikas-mom]

this one?

 

[IrishMilo]

Did you see this one? https://www.horsequest.co.uk/search/230168
