Question in title, would love to hear thoughts on this.
Bearing in mind I am not some fab rider looking for a horse to go out and compete every weekend on with an unlimited budget. Looking for something sane that can carry me (diet not going too well this week) that I could do some fun local stuff with. (optional extra needs to be a colour that looks good next to Harv, my dun, just kidding :smile
Reason I ask is 'cos I have seen a fab horse, looks ideal, the owner even sent me some videos so I could see him in action, but he is just over 4 hours away, an hour past Inverness (I am in Edinburgh). I keep swinging between thinking I am mental, there is no rush to buy a new horse, that is a very long way to travel, no-one is keen to come with me as means taking a whole day out so I would have to rely on just my eyes / judgement etc (although have shared the videos), and then thinking, what the hell, I'll go have an adventure.
Have agreed to go see him Sunday so also feel it would be VERY bad manners to cancel at such short notice, especially given I knew how far away he was at all times! Can you tell my head is full of mince??
Cheers everyone.
