Would you consider buying this horse?

[SatansLittleHelper]

Congratulations, I'm so glad you have bitten the bullet. I think there are very few of us that ever actually buy the horse we set out to...even with our *must* list clutched in our hands ??

 

[Pearlsasinger]

I can't tell you how pleased I am!

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Brilliant! Fingers crossed for the vetting

 

[Coblover63]

Been following this with interest so I'm very happy to see that the right decision has been made. Exciting stuff!

 

[ester]

Finally! lol

 

[Surbie]

HURRAY!!!! So very pleased for you and everything crossed for the vetting!

Looking forward to seeing photos. ?

 

[Ellietotz]

Does the owner need to be there for the vetting? I don't think she will be able to be but he will be living in my fields by that point so I won't need her there necessarily.

 

[ester]

nope

 

[Ellietotz]

nope

Thank you! So I just need to get his passport first?

I really hope she doesn't change her mind.

 

[Tiddlypom]

It's easier if the owner is there simply so that she can be the one to do the trot ups, lunging etc while you look on with the vet, although a spare friend would be a useful stand in for this.

But really it's up to her, it's not a requirement for her to be present.

Great news, I am so looking forward to pictures once he's yours.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Fabulous news

[sjb10]

Great news, hope all goes well. It is lovely when it feels so right!

 

[Spirit2021]

[Odyssey]

That's fantastic, so pleased for you! He sounds an absolute diamond. I've got everything crossed that he passes the vetting. Can't wait to see pictures. ?

????????????

 

[Red-1]

Thank goodness! Oh, and congratulations!

 

[Ceriann]

Super pleased for you - pics when you are ready. He sounds a rare find in this market - fate and all that.

 

[Ellietotz]

What stage vetting should I get? ?

 

[ycbm]

What stage vetting should I get? ?

Five.

 

[Mrs Jingle]

Five

 

[Tiddlypom]

Definitely a 5

 

[Ellietotz]

Just seen his passport. He is 11! So I got the ages the wrong way round, bonus!

Measured him as 15.3hh tonight too although fairly high withered.

Though so plump I couldn't actually get the ends of the weight tape to touch...

 

[saddlesore]

I’m delighted for you! I’ve been hoping you would take the plunge having felt so happy with him. And bonus he’s only 11!

 

[splashgirl45]

5, and what a bonus he is only 11. how exciting

 

[wren123]

Oh gosh that is excellent news he is 11!

 

[brighteyes]

PHEW!

 

[Ellietotz]

Okay so he has been in next to my mare for most the day now.
She is obviously in season and in love, he hasn't called for his buddy once though a slight concern is that he is a little riggy it seems.
9 out of 10 times, he is taking no notice but other times he is pawing, getting his bits out and chasing her along the fence. I hope this isn't going to be an issue.

Mine does this with new mares, but when they're in together he never gets further than prancing round like an idiot to show her what a catch he is. He gets bored very quickly and after the first few days, will just sniff the mare if she's flirting with him but then walks off to the more important task of stuffing his face.
