where do you all find your bargain horses?

I look in the local papers, or use word of mouth. You are much more likely to know the person selling it (either by hearing about them directly, or a friend-of-a-friend will know them kind of thing!) so much less likely to be sold a horse which isn't quite as sold i.e. doped, lame, wrong age, wrong height, no experience etc etc.

As much as I love reading the horsey mags, I would never buy a horse from them as almost impossible to get a rating on the vendor or vet, so I wouldn't risk the cash!
 
oooh, i think the first grey horse is VERY nice! definitely worth a look....
i like the look of the irish one too (the third one) but he's quite big

how come you've not rung up about them? worth going to see, people will usually drop prices a little and they aren't too over your budget...
 
gorgeous grays! mine is a problem horse i paid £900 i think hes worth it... i found him on horse and hound online (he never made it in the magazine as i brought him asap as too meny phone calls for him there was two other people there same time as me i was the lucky one that was there first so i had first refusal, you got to be in there quick and act fast for a bargain horse.. they dont stay there for long before someone snaps them up! i love the first and last gray wish i had that sort of monie... altho you could go see them and offer them a price?
 
The first two are the same aren't they unless I've done something wrong!? I like it though. The third one doesn't have much info so hard to tell
