I quite like the look of the horse but the seller has had quite a few for sale lately but advertising as a private sale??!!

I can just imagine her with some decent food & grazing next summer looking fabby.

Anyone have any good/bad comments??

Thanks

She looks nice
But I guess it's about you too and what you want her for
At 13 her jump doesn't look v.established but if you wanted her for basic dressage go and have a nosey
would be nice to see a conformation pic

Mmm, something not quite right with the seller. The other she has for sale says "due to finances" but at the bottom it say she will take part exchange.

Sounds like a dealer to me, not that it would be a problem, but I like them to be honest about it.

Horse looks OK though

Its not a dealer I don't think but is an Equestrian Centre. So the ponies will probably have been riding school horses.

Horse looks sweet enough though, although as mentioned above the jump doesn't seem very established for a 13yo. But seems like a nice allrounder, would look completely different all spruced up and with a bit of work

If you google the number it has had quite a few horses advertised. Mind you if they are dealers it doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing, just go in with your eyes open and get a 5 stage vetting before buying.

It's nice. The only thing I noticed was that the horse doesn't look like it works through from behind - it looks like it's pulling itself along with it's front end - but the photos are a split second in time, so it doesn't mean that it will be like that in the flesh. Go and have a look if it's not too far away from you.

The same seller has this other horse available for sale 'for financial reasons' but will consider a part exchange - must be a dealer then? That wouldn't make sense from a private seller or equestrian centre, would it?
Seems a little odd to me.

ETS Sorry, just read through thread and rockysmum said that too.
