Finger Lakes Finest Thoroughbreds - New Price! River Mountain Road, 11 yo, 16.1 chst g

I'm always on the look out for a nice thoroughbred off the rack and something about this guy speaks to me. What do you guys think, a diamond in the rough? Or too old?

Also, this guy has a very sweet face and nice look about him. I like his top line better and he seems nice to handle in his video.

Any glaring faults I might be missing? Neither are perfect but I'm not looking for anything much more than a pleasure horse with local showing.

As for potential disciplines, I'm one for letting the horse choose, but something
in the English realm preferably hunters, jumpers or event.



Sorry I can't just post the photos, I'm using my iPad. Here's the link the board they're posted on, there are plenty on there at the moment!

I like the second one a ton better! He had nicer conformation and he is more pleasing to the eye, not to mention he is younger. I am worried about the "retiring early" thing though. There is usually a reason they are retired early.

The first one sounds like a sweetheart! But I think you should go with the second one. He is younger, fit, and has better conformation. But ride both and that will be the ultimate decision maker

Wish I could buy one :(

I know he is soooooo pretty lol

I would keep looking, number 2 looks very straight through his hocks and his pasterns look to long to me.

The first guy looks long through his back and weak in his loins

Or... :)

I just want them all!

I'm not looking any more I found one that I want as well

My mare raced at Finger Lakes! Hmm, of those two, I like the second best, but not the back legs.

Wow... the farrier's work at Finger Lakes is a train wreck! :(

I like the second horse best out of the three. By far!
