I'm still occasionally browsing the net for a second horse. I've been messed around by sellers (yep, not the buyer for once) after finding 2 that were ideal.
I was always saying no to them. Am I mad for now considering a Thoroughbred? OH worked on (hurdling) race yards for years, he adores ex racers. I've always put it off as know they get issues.. but I've had SO many issues with my nutty Welsh cob, I don't think a Thoroughbred can be much worse!
I was told ideally to find a ex hurdler not a flat racer.. as they're raced from usually 4 and not 2yrs.
Any other tips? Avoid? Consider it? Anyone got any stories with a ex racer, good or bad? Vetted? Most are under £1500.
Thanks in advance!
