I have been horseless for more than 2 years now. I share my daughters ID - he is lovely but enormous, & I would be happier with a middleweight 15h 1” to 15h 3”. I have recently decided to look to buy one for myself, but due to COVID it seems like not much on the market. Wouldn’t you know it, something turned up today, 30 min away, that looks like it might fit the bill.
He is a cob, so feathers, etc, which I am not used to (have had sports horses mainly) but nice type, relatively refined. He ‘s 15h now, so should not get too big, but may grow/fill out a bit. Lovely mover.
Downsides: he has only been driven, so I would need to leave him with seller (well-known & locally respected) to back/produce. Second issue: it will be tight financially, I was hoping to start looking seriously next year. However, the last horse I bought took six months of searching, so I know how difficult it can be to find the right horse. Feeling like if he is right, I should just go for it.will be viewing tomorrow
Any thoughts appreciated.
