What do we think of this horse? Opinion please

[fine_and_dandy]

As per title, what do you think of this youngster? Newly backed, very green but friend and I really like the look of him and think he may have potential to be the blank canvas she wants.

I think he has a lovely face and kind eye - solid looking too.

Thoughts?

Nice horse - not helped by a poor rider.

I like him, would be helped by someone with an independant seat, but it says good things about his character that he still looks a happy chap when it appears someone is using his mouth for balance!

this ^^ could be a nice horse and looks honest in its eye? will she/you go and see it?

 

[fine_and_dandy]

She has gone to see it and is having him vetted as we speak!

They are localish to me and seem to have a decent reputation - no experience personally but just what I have heard.

 

[fine_and_dandy]

Yaay.

Keep us posted - Miss Sneaky!

Ha ha!! Sorry! I know I had my view on him but suddenly remembered I could do a post here *smacks head* and thought I would do it even though she has gone to see him.

I've got everything crossed!

 

[AmyMay]

Well, good job we all liked him then

 

[fine_and_dandy]

So the news is...














...HE PASSED THE 5 STAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

He comes home tomorrow! I am so excited for her and cannot WAIT to meet him and post about his progress She said he is a real sweetie and will be a superstar.

Will post piccies tomorrow when he is home

We do need name suggestions...he is apparently known as Stallone which neither of us particularly like and we don't think it is fair to call such a lovely boy Sly :S

Any suggestions?

 

[ThePony]

Wow, exciting!!
Am useless with names though, sorry. All I can think of looking at the names of his dam and sire is Gilette, lol! If you stick with names from this angle, then how about Finn?

Rocky.

Great news!

 

[fine_and_dandy]

ROCKY! Good suggestion. I said Rambo but that was a no!

We already have a Finn at our livery so probably wouldn't go for that...I like Gilligan, Gilly for short.

We need a brainstorm!

 

[Jazzy B]

I would call him Flynn I think that would suit him!
