Wanted

[Bossanova]

Do you think I'm being too fussy??

I want- 15.1-15.3 chesnut 4-6yr old chestnut tb. Must be very, very cute, need not have any experience but preferably backed and reasonably sane. Must also have some vague potential to event and be as quirky as possible without being nasty/dangerous.

If anyone knows of anything that matches that description and is under 1k, please let me know!!!

 

[showjump2003]

You will be lucky to get anything like that for under a thousand!

[seabiscuit]

Eek you just missed Cheekos sister which was sold for 400 guineas at Ascot the other week!
Am sure you'll find something soon though.

Thats what I thought, just so worried about soundness after last one.

PMSL just re read your description- would have fitted Forrest down to a tee!! Saw a half sister of his for sale a few months ago- looked like a twin Forrest! Are you very keen on the chestnuts then?!

 

[teapot]

Know of a 13.2 chesnut - very green going? Any good? Do I hear a no?

This for you J or a buy, bring on and sell type neddlet?

 

[Bossanova]

I want another Jazz really- cute little chestnut tbs get into your heart the way that no others can

 

[seabiscuit]

I know exactly what you mean! I want another Forrest too

Hmm heartbreakers they are. Jazz wasnt amazingly talented and he was a right pain sometimes but I miss his cheek so, so much- you never had a boring day with him!!

boss, if its stayed sound enough to stay in training til it was five its probably the soundest horse you will ever have!! even if it was slow.

Was going to suggest Ascot, went to their December one, and the prices just amazed me. Lil 3yr old mare we wanted sold for £480 or something stupid like that, long story with that one.. she was ours for 5 min then new owner decided not to sell... anyway some nice horses cheap. You just have to trust your instincts really. We went for a broodie so soundness didn't quite matter as much.

Arh sounds like me... i just sold liberty this year because i couldn't stir her she was so out grown... Off to the sales next year.... Funny... Not interested unless its got her lines and colour oh and that cheecky little look! My horse now is a grey, i like other colours but i just have a fetish..... Every one for "cares" for me said a need to start looking at other types of horses and ponies

But lucky mine isn't a thing like liberty, and im relising he never will. Maybe its better to get some thing totaly different because you can't replace them, not good to try and make a horse and another horse.....

Snap..Just like Forrest! He was the ultimate cheeky comedian..

Think if you could aim for something that has been in training as a 3 year old rather than as a 2 year old that might make things a bit safer. I dont necessarily agree that if they have been sound until a 5 year old is necessarily a good indicator of future soundness....

Its all a lottery!

I'm afraid 1k is my absolute max for a horse like that!!

 

[katiejaye]

wow sounds like my boy when I bought him...chestnut, 15.3hh TB x, very quirky, very agile and very very cute! Problem is he's 13 now! I would imagine it would be quite hard to find something though for under £1000. I didn't pay a lot for my boy as he was very green and young but not under £1000. U may have more luck with unbacked though.

 

[katiejaye]

p.s your welcome to come and event him!

You shouldnt say things like to me- Louis is exactly the type I'm after, if you ever do want him evented, you know who to call!!

 

[siennamum]

You really need to cultivate Steph, meet her at her uncles/cousins, they keep spares in the back garden when they don't want to send them to the sales. They are only down the road from you, you might be able to get one for next to nothing.....

A girl at my yard bought a 15.3 rising 4yo mare for £500 in the summer- fits your description perfectly! Bought her directly from a race yard- lovely natured mare, just too slow for the track. Broken, lovely looking and actually pretty quiet although she wants some weight on.

Quite nicely put together too- cost £25k as a yearling. Don't know about her jump as shes not done any yet but conformation wise no reason why she shouldn't.

So it can be done!

Echo Ascot Sales.
Theres where i got my 6 year old bootiful chestnut gelding from. He was quirky unfortunately didnt do jumping

but he was the soundest horse i have ever owned!

PMSL!!! Is that all can be managed with broken keyboard!??

[Tempi]

not under 1k, but chris is selling her 4yr old chestnut gelding in the new year, hes fab safe as houses, jumps anything, will be going round a few intros at the beginning of the season with Gubby before hes sold on. But i have a feeling he will be quite a bit, shame as he wouldve been perfect, however i know what she paid for him to start with and it wasnt £1k!!
