Opposite to the rules thread...what "rules" did you completely disregard in a do as I say, not as I do type situation!?
I did the following:
- Wasn't looking for a horse...but was looking at horses for sale (BAD move)
- Fell in love over FB ad (Very basic ad, could have been written about any horse!?)
- He was loose in school when I went to see him (took me AGES to catch him first week I had him)
- Wanted him after I saw him (hadn't even seen him ridden)
- Agreed to buy him after I sat on him (hadn't jumped him, was advised to by seller as he was quirky!)
- Didn't see him loaded until day I went to take him away
- Did NOT want a horse difficult to mount as I rode alone 90% of time(...he wouldn't stand still for first few months I had him)
And that's how I came away with a horse when I didn't intend to buy one yet, who was a ****** to catch, a pain to get on, span when spooked, goes up when pressured...
Good job I love him and he's mostly knocked those habits on the head now!
