Where are all the irish horses?

[Skhosu]

Been looking for over a month and STILL unable to find a quiet pre novice eventer, even with a perfectly reasonable budget ... there just are not any out there, that we can find, that have a few runs under their belt, age not too big an issue, save we don't want a youngster, and nothing!
So if anyone knows of any nice pre-novice eventers, we're even beginning to plan a trip to england we're in desperation!

Yup, exactly what we are looking for, but in england which we are only just starting to look at, I just cannot understand why there are none in ireland (must add-that are not 20K+!)
Those are two we may consider going to see if they are still available, int eh same area too ;p

Oooh, I think there's a nice eventer for sale at Stonehaven... I'll try and find a link for you!

Ooh, so if I ship my Irish horse back to Ireland he may be sellable!?

 

[Skhosu]

nice record but doesn't sound like it will be quiet (or within price range!)
Katb-most likely!
So far we've seen so many 'quiet' horses that jog/spook/shoot off when you get on/bolt or nap to other horses. Argh!!
