Well my mom and I are going to FL to go horse shopping on Sunday-Wednsday!:D I'm REALLY exited! We are looking for a 16.3+ Novice-Training level packer, and my trainer's friend has about 11 horses lined up for me! I can't wait to look, all of our team has found horses down there so I am extatic to go looking!

I know this isn't what you want to hear but I have to agree with iride. I think you'd be better off looking for another horse. I know he's coming from a great barn and terrific trainers but he has the potential to have huge issues. and no vet can garuntee there will be no issues. They very rarely will. They won't.
If you are happy with the horse then get it, but my opinion is to keep looking.

not until yesterday where my vet said that spurs in his hocks and a little ruffing of his nivicular were just coming with his age and him working hard.

Good luck to you then. Just let your farrier know about the "potential" issues. And enjoy your new horse. I wanna see pix....

as for the going advanced, if he had the potential, Buck would have bought him... just saying. but good luck with a horse that might go lame in a year or two. for the record- he has NOT gone Prelim successfully as shown by his USEA record and has never competed in a USEA recognized Intermediate horse trial...

Fine. And it isn't arising now, he has had these for years. He has the physical ablity to go advanced
So he's had it for years but it's just arising now

Is it black or is it white cause I'm confused

Gee guys, I would've given up on this thread many posts back. It's obvious she doens't care to listen to your very well thought out advice, she's going to buy him regardless. So, I say if he goes lame or can't compete to the level she wants him to, that's what she gets, she deserves it. Of course I hope he WILL do well for her, I sure don't wish ill on anyone, but I certainly wouldn't continue to try to advice her, even though I agree with you guys, because she's just going to be rude about it and not care anyhow....

I think we have given Stormy all the advice she can use (or not use). What she does with our opinions are up to her. I'm sure we all wish her the best of luck and success with her new horse if she does decide to buy him. Aside from that I think this thread can only go down hill. If she does buy him I'm sure we will see another thread of her hopefully enjoying him.

Good luck Stormy
