I can see it both ways either the horse has
a) just been a little ignored by the breeder and over priced hence why not sold
b) failed vet/ failed to be backed/ been sold and returned as a nutter !

If you go with an second pair of knowledgable eyes (who'll be less emotional involved) get a good independent vet from your vet, and if you have any nagging doubts - walk away you might find a bargin.
If you've been out of horses a while tho is an unbroken 6 year old really what you want? Might be a good long while before she's up and running?

I wouldn't let her age and the fact she hasn't been broken in put you off. I brought a 7yr old off the forest who wasn't even halter broken, she was the easiest horse I've ever broken in. I knew she'd be ok as she stood in the field whilst i looked over her without a head collar on and was so friendly. If you like her at least go and see her.

I am up in the midlands - so if you need a few vet recomendations or a transportor jusk ask.

Hope it goes well

Yeah that would be great, will pm you if i decide to get her, one thing i am wondering is would i be better getting transport from my area, or getting transport from her area, transporting a horse has never been something i have had to worry about as the people i have bought of have done it.

For me personally I would get someone local to bring her down - then she will arrive early in the day and have time to settle.

Oh yeah didn't think of that :eek: suppose if i get someone from my area she would not arrive till evening. Good thinking, i am so blonde somethimes :D
