Viewing a horse to buy... Tips and pointers please

Yeah that makes sense and I would like to apologise again for being extremely cranky!!! Lol

Well I'm going to go for it, I'll post a picture on here soon. He's extremely mucky at the moment he's not been touched much since October just been in a big barn with other youngsters so I suppose he's a blank canvas! When we did see him he tied up very nicely and let us groom him ect and he did let the owners pick his feet up both back and fronts. And the he had a run around in the ménage and he had some really lovely paces!

I'm going to move him to a yard near me for a couple of weeks where the lady has a few youngsters so can help me aswell

Can't wait to start messing with him though! You'll all have to give your opinions of him when I post a photo

Well, huge congratulations...you'll learn more about horses in the next year than you will have in ten years of riding finished schoolmasters, lol.

Enjoy every second of it, take the good with the bad and remember...let go of the bad or annoying little things, horses move on, so should we

Just wanted to say well done for making the decision and good luck! I bought a 10 month old foal last year and although it hasn't always been plain sailing she is absolutely gorgeous and certainly keeps life interesting! You sound very sensible, have lots of fun with your new baby.
