Hello folks.
I've unfortunately come to the conclusion that my youngster is just growing too big for me to ride properly and hold together due to my slightly dodgy leg. I have a good idea of what I will be looking for, but have no idea if I have the budget for it currently. My max budget currently is £20k, but obviously the less money I have to spend the better lol.
This is the draft of the wanted advert I've written, just wondering if I could realistically get something like this for the amount of money I have? Or am I asking too much?
15.3hh - 16.3hh, no smaller or bigger please
6 - 12 years, slightly older may also be considered
Gelding or Mare, any colour but would prefer no greys
Schoolmaster type, BS or BE record to at least 1.05 - 1.10, any higher is a bonus
Good conformation and hooves
Forward, Brave and Willing, good to handle on ground, don't mind freshness or hot behaviour but nothing nasty or dangerous
Mainly to Showjump, but would also Event, Hunter Trial, Team Chase and just generally have fun on
For a vet science student & amateur rider who's been producing youngsters and now wants to move up onto something more experienced and go up the levels BS, ideally to 1.20 (potentially higher if possible with the right horse)
Would consider an ex-racer as long as no vices, no prior injuries and proven at this level
Must pass a 5 Stage vetting and have decent X-rays, including neck and back, though obviously minor discrepancies in older horses will be considered as long as they are disclosed and horse is sound and capable
Bold jumper with good scope and generally good paces, as would be doing the odd dressage test here and there
Also if anyone knows of anything like this that may be available in the near future, or has recommendations on where to source a type like this I'd very much appreciate it, thank you in advance.
