Where to look?! Buying horses

[ChunkyMonkey25]

So i've made the decision to buy horse no2 as horse no1 will probably be out of work for at least the next 12 months and will never come back to competitive work

I'm looking for something 16.2h+ that has the talent to do good dressage at an affiliated level - pref at least elementary. Have looked on horsemart, horsequest, horsedeals etc - any other ideas?

Thanks

Local tack shops, equestrian centres notice boards, local farming newspapers, riding club websites etc. Good Luck

You could also think about putting a wanted ad on Horsequest and BD classifieds.

try Astrid Bolton - in Lancashire but has nice horses for not stupid money

www.astridbolton.com

Will admit to bias - as we got my mother's horse from her and he's got the most fab trainable temperament - currently competing Adv Med and he was well within your budget (aged 4)

Just occurred - I have also got a horse which might suit - never done BD so has no points but works Adv Med at home..... only drawback is that he's 10 (flashy tho!)

PM me if he's not too old

Oldencraig? near Lingfield in Surrey - they always have a good range and its definately worth a call! all the horses are on their website.
