To buy or not to buy.....

[scotsmare]

I'm having trouble finding the right horse (at the right price

!) so I'm debating whether or not to buy anything at all!

The reason for this is that I have a super 3 yr old standing in my field that I left to mature but plan to start backing at the end of August.

So, should I give up the hunt and concentrate on my youngsters? Whilst in the process saving a bundle of money that could go towards a shiny new trailer to replace the one I have oh, and not forgetting that I'd have way less work to do across the winter!

OR, should I keep looking??

I'm genuinely not sure what to do......

Hot chocolate and marshmallows for getting this far (well, it is Friday!

)

Maybe wait and see how your youngster goes with backing a decide from there?

Sounds like you've almost come to a decision in your own mind. I would keep looking in the meantime, if you're not bothered whether you find anything or not, then the right horse is more likely to come along!

Alternatively with the prices going the way they are you just might get yourself a bargain!!!!!!

Agree with Cruise- keep looking- horses have a way of finding you!

 

[pinktiger]

id wait and see how the youngster turns out, time and money wise!!!

Sometimes the right horse finds you are opposed to the other way round

I would focus on your youngster but still look because i agree with everyone else that the right horse always finds you.x

I would concentrate on your youngster! Time and money saved! If you do it right, treat him right, he'll be your perfect horse!

I agree, the right horse will quite often find you. When I bought my current lad I wasnt even in the market for another horse. The woman that owned him (who Id met once) phoned me up out of the blue and asked me if I wanted him. Knew from the minute I saw him he was the one for me. There was something special about him even then and although he's been a difficult b****r I've never looked back.
Good luck
