Well it's back to square 1- if anyone fancies pony hunting?

[Coffee_Bean]

Newbie didn't come out too well in the vetting

No problems as such, they just didn't recommend she will be suitable for various reasons, won't go into too much detail as the sellers are fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone. Gutted all the same though

So I am looking for:

16.1hh-17hh
Rising 4-6yo
Preferably ISH or WB x TB
Preferably mare, but will consider geldings

With the potential to low level event/all RC activities in a few years.

Budget 4k (well depends on horse really, but work on that?)


Within 2 hours of Nottingham.

 

[lexiedhb]

zoesiloh (SP???) has a rather gorge stallion for that....... perhaps a bit young and defo not a mare tho!! LOL

 

[hannahealasaid]

Yep, and if anyone fancies looking for a 2-4 yr old, gelding to make 16.2+ pref warmblood for dressage for under 6k....

 

[ladyt25]

What type of horse are you wanting - ie what are you wanting to do with it? Are you wanting one to bring on or one that's done stuff already?

A good friend and work colleague of mine has decided to sell her mare after deliberating over loaning her and being messed about by potential loanees. She is a 4 yo ID (Clover Hill) x Connie, 16hh now I think. My friend has owned her since she was about 8 mths (or thereabouts), had her professionally broken in and has mainly hacked her since then. She has taken her to a dressage event and done a bit of jumping - the mare certainly has ability!

She has though come to the conclusion she is more horse than she really needs and feels she is wasted so thinks rather than her sat in a field doing nothing she needs to sell her.

We are up in Leeds so only just over an hour from Notts. If you want any more details PM me.

Oh stinkers

I'd coming looking for an update, and hoping for a happy post

I guess it just wasn't meant to be....

As I'm endlessly browsing at the mo, I shall keep an eye out for you. x

 

[Coffee_Bean]

lexie- no way I could cope with a stallion

LadyT- will pm you.

Puppy- Yep it is rather crap

 

[Coffee_Bean]

Oh and I'm looking for something to bring on

 

[vam]

[Coffee_Bean]

Hhhm, they are both geldings (I know I am so shallow

) and second one is older than I am after. But thanks

 

[natalia]

Got a 5 yr old grey warmblood x mare! 16.3hh, PM me for details £3500.

 

[Bearsmum]

Sorry it didn't work out, but everything happens for a reason and the right horse is out there just waiting for you to find him or her.

Good luck with your search.

[JenTaz]

pity your not in scotland as my friends horse would fit your bill totally

 

[Puppy]

What about this one?

[Coffee_Bean]

Spoke to the owner a while ago about that one puppy, and I *think* same one as LadyT is talking about. Thanks though

 

[Clodagh]

Is North Essex less than 2 hours from Nottingham? Lady I work for is selling her 16.2 Irish mare, 8 years old I think, I looove her, she SJs and would definately dressage but needs more schooling.

 

[Coffee_Bean]

Clodagh- bit too far sadly, and really after a youngster. Thanks anyway.

 

[ladyt25]

Ooh, it is - didn't realise she'd put her on HM already. I was hoping she might change her mind and not sell her really.

She's been going really well but she needs work and my friend doesn't have time with two young kids and the horse needs to be doing stuff.

 

[dwi]

If you come across any free ones in your search can you send them my way?

My budget has shrunk somewhat with everything that as happened.

The frustrating thing is that she looks sound to me and everyone else, just won't pass a vetting.

 

[Puppy]

Any good?

[Lucy_Nottingham]

have pm'd you

 

[Coffee_Bean]

Nice puppy, a bit older than I wanted but think I will ring up about her tomorrow, she looks nice

 

[trundle]

Have you spoken to Super_Kat on here about her mare, Missy? 16.3hh ISH mare, i cant remember how old she is, poss 10-11, absolutely cracking mare. I adore her and she has the BEST temperament.

 

[Coffee_Bean]

trundle- want a youngster really. But I agree if i'm thinking of the right mare, she's fab

 

[madhector]

If you get really desperate, you can have Jazz - the next month is looking so busy could do with one less in! lol

 

[KatB]

Sorry to hear the vetting didnt go well Coffee_bean... will keep an ear out for you.... will PM you

 

[Kat]

Hey coffee bean, sounds like you are looking for just the same as us, and in the same area too.

If you can stretch to £5k there was a gorgeous mare advertised on horse quest in leicestershire last week, sounded amazing but probably a bit more horse than we really want!

 

[Coffee_Bean]

MH- don't tempt me

Katt- ahh don't think so, 4.5k has already been extended too much anyway

How long have you been looking?

 

[katie_and_toto]

Project horse maybe?
