Tell me not to!

[splashgirl45]

She normally allows viewings but because of the Covid restrictions she changed her business model. FWIW I hear good things about her although she does have a high turnover of horses.

well maybe my friend can wait till she can do a more normal viewing. lynn does seem to advertise some nice horses, my friend wants something under 16hands that she can hack alone if necessary and also do some riding club comps for fun and i have seen that type on lynns ads...thanks for the info

Well honestly you lot are just hopeless! I tell you to tell me not to buy a third horse and you are utterly hopeless and failed miserably. Nil points for all of you.

Picking up on Sunday, I haven't seen him myself yet so you don't get any details until he gets here and I find out whether I've just thrown a bucketful of money down the drain ?

Omg, you bought another? How did I miss this?!

 

[DabDab]

looking forward to the piccies!

Technically not bought yet, funds are due after he loads at Preston on Sunday after travelling down from Carlisle.

I don't want to jinx it by sharing too much, I haven't even seen him, he may be a complete donkey in the flesh ?!

Wot, no photos?

I bought a donkey and still shared photos! C'm on!!!

 

[EventingMum]

How exciting!

 

[CanteringCarrot]

I knew this post was coming

But now we have even more suspense to endure!

 

[hock]

It was the 3rd one that broke the boughs for me .. here I am at 13 ish. I don’t like to officially count ?

 

[Baywonder]

You rock @ycbm! ?

Can't wait to see the photos!

 

[zandp]

Three is an awkward number.

Either don't do it or buy two more horses.

3 is the magic number !!

If I wanted to get rid of OH I'd buy a 3rd, he flipped so much when I got the 2nd he said he'd leave straight away if I did it again. Nice to know there's an exit strategy.

 

[Palindrome]

Exciting, congratulations!

 

[OldNag]

Oooh photos please no excuses

 

[CanteringCarrot]

I don't care if you bought a 3 legged mule that's half cow. The people demand the info!





But can possibly wait until Sunday. Possibly.

Sorry - late to the party again! I have got a new horse, but it wasn't the grey (for reasons I won't go into).

I have got an ISH who won't be 4 til June! Very, very nice horse. Very quiet, spectacular paces, when I was lungeing him for the vetting I was standing there awed by his canter, very petite lightweight horse. Chestnut. A grandparent is a warmblood. I had to buy him as the dealer (different dealer) wouldn't hold him for a vetting even with a deposit, so I got an insurance vetting. Very clean, except...he MAY have a very, very tiny occult sarcoid on his face. Aaaarrrgghhh...! I am torn as if it had been pointed out prepurchase, I am not sure what I would have done as he is my perfect horse. It looks like a teeny tiny rub.

So far, teeth have been done (sharp, and a slight ulcer on one side), jabs started, farrier coming tomo, saddler booked for Thurs, bitting consultant booked for 1st week in May, lesson booked for Monday! Yay, back in the game!

 

[ycbm]

Now there's no excuse for no pictures here, Catembi, you've already got him home! Come on, we're waiting .....

 

[splashgirl45]

catembi, you cannot post that you have a new horse and not put photos up.....you know photos are compulsary

 

[tatty_v]

Three is definitely the magic number (says the girl who’s just bought #3!) I’m looking forward to the photos ?

Mine when nuts at number 2, but didnt even blink at number 3. I think he'd given up at that point! I'll get number 4 when horse prices settle down.

Now I know you only did this for philanthropic reasons so that those of us too old to have a horse any more can Ooh and Aah over it vicariously.
That was the reason wasn't it?............................

 

[splashgirl45]

well thats definitely me, too old and no money

 

[Michen]

Oh god this thread is not helping after I hanker after a third connemara for absolutely no reason other than sheer greed

How exciting, hopefully it will be all okay!

I had some reservations of the original dealer but wasn't sure if it was the one I was thinking it was.

What's wrong with a bit of greed? I'd have had a Connie in a heartbeat but they're so expensive at the moment.
