Five stage vetting is more costly at our vets than two.

Yeah quite a bit!

Thats nice they want to find a nice home for her. I guess I may have become cynical in my old age as I always suspect sellers to be less than truthful. Why and when did she give up show jumping? She must have been pretty good to get to that level. Can you still jump her over smaller jumps? Will she go xc?

 

[Jane&Ziggy]

Wow congratulations! Where was she advertised? Let's see her picture!

She was/is owned by a teenager who rides very seriously (competed at regionals this weekend) and has 3 more bigger horses. So she is beautifully schooled to a high level. At the moment she's on full livery and ridden by the YO (also a pro dressage rider) but the girl was apparently reluctant to sell even though she doesn't ride her any more.

I don't think she was advertised - I was emailed details. There is a pic on my FB page - will see if I can extract it!

Oooo lovely chestnut mare!

ETA she has the same white foot as Mattie, she must be a good 'un

She looks beautiful. Congratulations, how really really exciting. And we all get nervous about new horses. I was hugely stressed about moving Tobes to a new yard, so IMO, perfectly honest to be stressed about a new horse!!!

cor, shes very smart !! Look forward to hearing all about her !

So pleased for you squidsin, she looks absolutely gorgeous. Here's to lots of great times ahead. When will you pick her up? and when you do, don't forget the photos.

 

[Bodshi]

Well, I wonder why OBC liked this one?

Congratulations, she looks amazing. I bet you're buzzing!

Really looking forward to hearing all about your adventures together (and of course the pictures!)

I am away this weekend so will pick her up next week. Just having a think about the best yard for her and me. Her vetting is booked for tomorrow at noon!

 

[Mary Poppins]

She does have that wow factor! I wish you many happy years togethr.x

 

[Cortrasna]

She is very pretty and I can quite see why you decided to buy her!

 

[domane]

Oh HUGE congratulations..... I am delighted for you.... er.... what's her name?

 

[joosie]

Beautiful! You must be so excited! Good luck for the vetting tomorrow

 

[Ruskii]

From what you have said and your plans for her I'd do the same (2 stage vetting) you'd be hard pressed to find a horse that age that would pass a 5 stage vetting I think without *some* issue being raised.

Would you opt for bloods as well or did you know the made beforehand ?

 

[Ruskii]

She's beautiful.
