So my current mare Connie is 18 years old, and currently recovering from uni-lateral Laminitis (which we now know is related to a confirmational problem in her fetlock) - she's recovering with inprint shoes, however i've decided she'll be retired from jumping/pleasure riding etc. and be a dressage horse (with a bit of showing thrown in) so i'm going to think about getting another.
I'll have a small budget, £2000 at the most (that would need to cover some tack too), I'd be looking for something between 15hh and 16.1hh (if 15hh i'd want something with a bit of bone as i'm 5'10"), needs to be backed and ridden away, but green isnt an issue, ideally a mare, but not picky and a general alrounder for Dressage (i'd like to affiliate and take through the levels), SJ (low level 2'6" at the most), XC, Pleasure rides (possibly endurance), maybe a bit of Trec etc.
I dont mind the odd quirk, but it would need to be sound with good confirmation, and i would be having it vetted,
So, do you think i'd be able to find something? or am i being unrealistic?
