That bottom mare, the 15.2hh by Grainaigh Maestro, I used to work with that stallion. If that little mare is anything like her father she will be bombproof and level headed. I think I actually know this little mare.. If she is called Penny I handled her as a foal on the Isle of Man!! :D Brings a tear to my eye actually as the stallion was PTS 2011, he was a wonderful horse who threw fantastic foals.

Still their decision.

Tyssandi, only a few posts ago you were strongly and repeatedly encouraging the OP to wait for Dougal, and if the OP had taken your advice she'd still be sitting there waiting and paying out £100 a week to ride him twice.

Dougal9 there are a lot of experienced people on this forum who will gladly help you find a horse. You can post the advert reference on this thread or PM any of us.

I think maybe the Op should make that decision don't you think!!!

OP - please don't take advice from this person. So far they have given you nothing but bad advice. Be very very wary of people in the horse world - there are a lot of know-it-alls who really don't have a clue and could get you in all sorts of bother :(

I have to say that I feel very uncomfortable with the amount of interest that TYSSANDI is taking in the OP's decisions. I don't mean to be unkind but she (I'm assuming the poster is a she!) seems a wee bit controlling towards the OP. All feels a bit odd.

I feel very sorry for the OP. I hope she finds a lovely, fun, easy horse that is perfect for a first time owner.

I hope it goes well OP with the two you sent me in pm fingers crossed for you. I particularly like the first one ;)

I also find this post extremely odd. If you are communicating by PRIVATE message, why do you need the whole forum to know that Dougal9 is sending you adverts to get your advice?

Dougal9, please get a wider range of opinion.

I completely agree. And we (broadly) were right about Dougal's owners...

Who are you to tell OP not to listen??? How rude are you!!! that is up to them to decided not you. It is true what they say in pm about that is for sure.

Your point being????

Yes I did but it is clear now after what Dougal9 said to ME in pm that this will not happen. So it is obvious to anyone that there is not point *NOW* in pursuing this horse.

Since you have no clue on what has been said between OP and me in pm I fail to see how you can judge me!!! Since I have been through this I know what OP was going through trying to get a horse she had set her heart on.

This forum is people giving individual experiences or advice whether something it is right or not. Seems like your way is the only way and no one but no one can give encouragement to Op to go after her dreams but a few sympathetic members which you are not.

Don't think the op needs a head shaker or stallion trotter

Its ok, the OP PMed me too :lol: Shes going to look at a lovely and very suitable sounding horse soon, and seems to have her head screwed on with regards to a suitable first horse. I'm sure she wont be unduly swayed by anyone, and hopefully will find a lovely horse soon :)

That is the trouble with this forum, people read to much into the reasons behind and come up with their own misguided reasons and make it out a poster is weird/crazy/ and worse.

Always seem like the same members COHTB

The OP came in here to have views and comments from all sides. Loads anti this horse and waiting and all giving the OP strong views to leave this horse and find another. So some maybe the minority gave their strong views to stick it out. Neither is right or wrong, the OP can make a fair judgement on what she read on this forum and what she exchanged with the stables, and going by the pm's across to me she was happy to have someone on her side (at the time).

So everyone jumps on my back just becasue I was for this horse at the time. No one got on your back for telling the OP to ditch this horse and kill her dreams did they huh???. Talk about one sided

OP

I hope this horse works out for you and this thread can disappear into the archives, as I am sure this thread now has gone past it's sell by date and not being productive for you anymore.

To much braggadocio

Maybe she owns it/knows the owner :p

I suggest you read all the thread before you type dear, this has been covered.
Thanks everyone for your comments. I can confirm that Tyssandi doesn't have anything to do with the yard or owner. I will continue to fight for him - he is special to me and whilst maybe not the right way to buy a horse i.e with your heart and not your head, it is the only way I can make such a commitment as he will (hopefully) be my first and last horse - its just the way I am made ! It did help to write it all down though, and I didn't mean my post to cause any arguments.

No I know the area well as I used to live and keep my horse nearby so I had heads up in the search for adverts local to the OP. So your wrong in this count advertising or trying to sell is not allowed on H&H forum.

I wish the OP well in her search and hope she ignores all the gloating and I told you so's. Which cannot be helping the Op in her search or how she is feeling, after loosing out on Dougal.

Sorry your thread has turned into this OP fingers crossed for the lovely grey.

I agree.

Good luck with the viewing, I hope you find a wonderful horse and have many fantastic years together. :D

You seem very well versed in the forum for someone who only recently joined and has barely posted. You may be making valid points, but they wont be picked up when you post the way you do. I'm sure you do have the OPs best interests at heart, but suggested that stallions, young horses or head shakers are suitable really doesnt make it sound that way!

Dougal I really hope this horse works out for you. Have you got back in touch with the owner you cancelled on? Maybe they would be open to another viewing?

It's really a shame you are not near me as I have a lovely mare who would be ideal for you to have lessons on until you found your dream horse. Maybe some of the other posters could help? They're a nice bunch - I'm sure someone has a horse that you could borrow for a few weeks so you get your horse fix :)
