When Viewing a Horse How Often Will You Go Back?

I wouldn't expect them to 'hold' the horse for me. If they sold it in the meantime that would be fair enough and I would just think that 'it wasn't meant to be'.

Glad this was put on as its been a few days whilst someone is deciding with no deposit left.& my viewing on Wednesday was cancelled(if he was good i would have left deposit subject to vetting)..either the seller loves the potential buyer but I am really getting miffed now and I think I will cut my nose to spite my face as dont live far away and just forget it.

I have researched the said horse and he sounds nice but I think if it now doesnt sell perhaps they have uncovered something.

I sound desperate dont I but the seller could be losing buyers and I am a good home/genuine! I am really puzzled....?? They were meant to let me know today but nothing. I offered for them to see where horse will live and understand it will be a difficult parting so I was even thinking they would be welcome to come and ride anytime etc...I wish there were more horses to look at but there arent!

I would never mess anyone round.
 
I tried lots of horses and knew instantly that they wern't for me.

When I sat on Billy I got "that" feeling and instant click - rode him once, took him xc once & then went to a hunt ride (we thought it was a go as you please) and bought him. I knew he was the one! :D
 
I'm looking for my first horse at the moment and have only seen 2 that i wanted. The first one i saw once with an experienced friend, then went back to take for a little hack and for my instructor to have a ride, then 3rd time was for the vetting... which she failed!

Now have done almost the exact same routine again with a different horse! Schooled on first viewing and liked him, took him out for a hack on second viewing, currently waiting with baited breath for the vetting on thursday! I know I want him, but had to see him out as well as schooling, and obviously need to rule out any health issues.
 
I would hope to go back at least 2 or 3 times but always understanding if sellar sold horse that is a risk I take till paid a depoist/full payment :)
 
The first time I tried mine I was there 2 hours...saw him handled, groomed, tacked up, then owner rode in school and then jumped him, then I got on - did schooling and a jump also. We then went down the road and a loop round the village with owner walking alongside me, we then returned to a big field and she said if I wanted to I could go down the bottom of the field and have a canter up so I did. Then I went back 5 days later and groomed him and tacked up myself, rode in school again. After agreeing to buy him and having the vetting done there was a small pause as I couldn't find livery so I went back just to see him in field to show him to my sister and then finally went back another day just before he came home and owner left me to my own devices so I got him in from field, groomed, and then hacked off down a lane by myself and had a canter along the side of the field. However, I knew that first day he was the one for me :)
