what about this one? sorry i know this is boring

[madhector]

hopefully going to see this chap on sunday, 16hh 3yrs Tb gelding, potential to event/dressage, big loose jump, longreined and lightly backed, good in everyway, excellent conformation...

what do you think?

 

[the watcher]

certainly worth a look...looks like a flying machine

 

[madhector]

is quite a long way, but thought he looked worth it, just thought would see what everyone thought first though

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Looks a nice sort. Appears to be crop high in 2nd pic, but maybe angle and has time to level up if only 3YO. Worth a look I would say.

 

[madhector]

he does a bit doesnt he, but like you said, he is only 3 so may grow some more

 

[ColleenIsh]

he is nice .... let us know how you get on

What happened to that first chestnut you want to see?

 

[madhector]

went to see him again, and just wasnt convinced he would make an eventer, also i was still a little concerned about the pasterns, decide to leave it as just wasnt right and he was athe top of my budget

 

[KatB]

Wouldnt be concerned about him being croup high as a 3 yr old TBH!! He looks lovely! Is he not a bit younger than you wanted though?

 

[madhector]

yes, that is his downfall, but would be prepared to postpone (sp) plans for a couple of years, at least that way he is unspoilt and hopefully less likely to have all the problems related to ex racers

just liked the look of him

How far are you willing to travel?
What is your criteria?
Only that the place where i got snoopy, bertie and bally from is very good. Yes hes a dealer, but there arent many 4 year olds like snoopy jumping BN and good on the road with basic training on the flat etc for under £8k!!! and i can assure you i didnt pay anywhere near that amount for him
Guess it depends on your budget but if youre interested pm me for his number.

Vx

[madhector]

have pmd you, thanks

 

[Kelly1982]

Oh no what a shame

I know you was really excited about him.

Good luck with your search
