My friend has just bought a new horse for £7500 and i really think she's made a big mistake and could have got so much more for her money.
What would you pay for the following:
Irish sport horse
9 years old
has been doing very little work lately as girl lost interest
no muscle whatsoever
bag of bones
very dehydrated and never had any hay in the stable despite only having 2 hours turnout per day
jumped BSJA quite successfully but not done so for at least a year
hacks nicely and appears to have a good temperament
Personally i wouldn't have touched it with a barge pole as it appears to have been starved and dehydrated. I certainly wouldn't pay £7500 for it would you?
I'm worried that as soon as the horse has put some weight on and is hydrated it will be a lunatic! They must have starved and dehydrated it for a reason...
Am i worrying about nothing?
