I like this boy https://www.horsequest.co.uk/advertisment/355922 (have a soft spot for a BWP)
And this one too https://www.horsequest.co.uk/advertisment/356516 (he looks lovely)
But not going there just yet until we've sold the house and moved to Mum's - whichever happens first.
My house needs to be in order first (literally)
Good luck AE!

Sometimes things don't go as planned and the "right" horse just appears, I hope this is "the one".

Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
This isn’t quite true and a bit more nuanced. I haven’t bought from uk sales but have done in Ireland and still hit issues despite so called vettings and a chance to vet at the sales.

Take my eye off this thread for a morning and it's gone from window shopping to actual shopping!!!!

Oh god I have zero self control. But this really does feel like The One. Right age, size, breeding, gender, temperament. Full history known. Everything checks out. And affordable - or at least will be when I sell Felix. So I just have to borrow for a bit.
Not saying much yet, pending vetting. But ....

Second one definitely the type.
First one, as lovely as he looks would be a heart over head purchase and one I would suggest you avoid.

Lottie stopped again at South View a month ago and I decided to retire her from competing. She has always been Miss Consistent - the odd pole but never a stopper. But since the first time she started stoppin and had hocks jabbed, and then back/neck also jabbed a year later, to about a month ago we have not had more than 4 months consistent work. She comes back into work great, and stays great - until she stops again.
I just decided enough was enough. I was not prepared to keep asking her to jump when she can't stay comfortable. But she's only 11 and still super keen and willing. So she is going to a non jumping home/ hacking home. She's on a LVWTB trial at my yard now.

I used to be decisive, now I'm not so sure...
The hunting cob looks like huge fun!
I have embraced cob life after a lifetime of posh horses.

I love the second one.
I have bought off these people before as they are quite local and would buy of them again if that helps !

That’s so exciting!
I had sworn not to go horse shopping until the spring, but somehow I viewed a really lovely horse on Saturday, and now have a vetting arranged. This was also NOT the plan but I’m nervously excited.

My non-horse shopping is moving along a treat.
Deposit paid. She was vetted 10 days ago but buyer walked away because of a small lump on belly, nowhere near where tack will be- that might or might not be a sarcoid. Price reduced to reflect and I am not bothered about that. Previous viewer is kindly sharing the vet report with me - nothing else flagged. I'm collecting on Thursday,
I need a new name. She was named by the family's 2 year old when she was born and it's a cute name for a fluffy foal but don't think it suits a performance bred, elegant filly! Owner does not mind me changing it - I did ask. So ideas please....
* 3 years old.
* Home-bred by Legrande - so Mylo's half sister.
* Bred by Legrande's owner (on here sometimes I think) and has lived out all her life.
* Out of a Balou du Rouet/Sandro Z mare
* Total blank canvas
* Looks IDENTICAL to Mylo. Pulls same funny faces too.
* Moves like a dream
* Fabulous temperament
* Friendly, calm, intelligent.
* Shares a birthday with me (so it was obviously meant to be....)
I'm in love
Was lovely to see His Gorgeousness, Legrande, when I viewed. Still stunning at 22.
Name suggestions beginning with M please.

I should change thread title. That turned out to be not very painful at all. Viewed 1, bought 1.
Ignoring ads and going straight for breeders/producers was definitely the right move! This horse has never been advertised.
