My partner and I are looking to extend our horsey family - we currently have 2, one fully retired and one might as well be. We are on the lookout for Mr Perfect basically, a nice, generous all rounder with potential to event.
We have a viewing lined up for next weekend. I have already had a long conversation with the breeder and have covered the usual bases - what has the horse done, what kind of riders has he had, any illness/injury, how is he with farrier/vet/loading/hacking/clipping etc, and we will go over this again next week. But, oh clever folks of HHO, is there anything else we should be mindful of or any important questions we should be sure to ask?
Also - from sellers perspective- any tips? Its quite a while since my OH bought his mare and I bought my boy totally through word of mouth, so anything you as a seller would expect from prospective buyer, would love to have your input too!
Thanks all!
