Right, I have a problem! Deco has decided she doesn't want any more foals and I need to find her a loan home. Have tried through word of mouth and not found anywhere. She is 15.2hh, mostly anglo-arab, advanced event mare, 17, very correct on the flat and show-jumping, currently fat and unfit! Due to terrible cow hocks she has a bit of arthritis in her back - her extensions aren't what they were - but if brought back into work properly she could teach someone loads. When she was in foal with Missy I was teaching 11yo's half passes on her.... A doll to have around, good in traffic, doesn't like being got on from the ground, weaves a bit a feed time, no other issues I can think of! I would like her to go to someone quite lightweight, under 10 stone, who will look after and love her and doesn't want to jump 120's/intermediate BE.......

ps. admin may remove this I suppose, but you can prob get hold of me through pm or facebook.
 
So could she be used for Novice BE? ( Open Novices)

I would contact Sorrell at Hoplands, as she always has clients looking for horses, she would be espec interested in a schoolmistress type.

How are William and Libs doing?
 
I don't see why not, but I can't guarentee it - do you see what I mean? Do you still see S a lot - I only ever met her that once.

W & L giving me grey hairs and debt, but off to Waregem tomorrow if I have my way!
 
Ooh wishing you the very best of luck at Waregam!

Yes I see what you mean. Despite that it sounds like she could be a really fun horse for someone! Yes still see S a bit from time to time- she has lots of contacts, espec. junior riders so it would def. be worth giving her a call
 
hi there Vic, good to see you on here, i was getting bit worried about you with your connections to Georgia and all. might you be able to do a little visit to Boekelo for a jolly? i am going to do a report if you are and i will keep ears open re horse x
 
ok then, will have a hunt around for her number.

L - I may well, need to check it out as a possible for W next year

. Mind you, this feels plenty late enough in the season to be eventing....
 
I have had a think V and I do know of someone who is looking for a horse to event - but she is very tall slighter taller then me although about the same weight - I can ask her if you want?
 
I've always loved the look of Deco. I'm considering selling one of my broodmares and if I do I'd be really interested, she sounds lovely! I have three chestnut mares so I think she would fit right in. She will have probably already found a home by then though.

Ideally I'd SJ but not over 1.10 as there's not the shows round here TBH.

I hope you find a lovely home for her and if you don't I'll keep you posted

I dont have any suggestions for specific people but will have a think.

Boss is very happy at Hartpury and I'm sure they'd be happy to discuss possibly taking her but it may not be right for her.
 
Where is she based ATM? I know of a 13 year old girl who is looking for a nice horse to loan - on my yard so will be well looked after and said girl won't be razzing around or doing anything taxing!
