I have found another horse!
Tell me what you think :)

Ad: Thoroughbred Horse For Sale, British Columbia (Canada), Pritchard

More Info:
Kyle is very good with novice riders. He is good on trails and bareback. I have done almost everything bareback with him and he couldn't care less. I have thrown a western saddle on him a few times just for fun and he is also really good about that. He would make a great pleasure horse since he is very relaxed all the time and he reaches into the contact without the rider even doing anything
I have to sell him because I am moving and I can't afford to board 2 horses. He has never foundered or had any health issues. Very easy to catch! He is out on a 5 acre field right now and he will walk straight up to you even if he sees a haulter in your hand. Great with the ferrier as well. He will basically sleep through the whole thing and I have even just hung the rope over his neck sometimes while he gets his feet done. So over all he's a pretty easy horse to handle. :)
he has fine bones like a thoroughbred but he definitely looks like an appendix so he does have a bit bigger build then a normal TB.
Has a bit of high withers.


I will post the pictures here as well :)

I would take a look at him! Maybe email the seller and ask for a conformation photo. It bugs me that there isn't one there lol. If you got him, would you be jumping with him? He looks like a nice jumper! Just make sure that if you go to look at him, make the owner do everything FIRST to see how he is.

Yeah, as I posted, the seller is emailing me more pictures tonight :) She said she will send me a confo. one if she has one, if not she will go take one of him.
I would do some jumping yes :) I havent done much jumping, as our stables never let us much..
But, I really want to try it! It looks like a ton of fun! I will ride western, english, bareback and trails :) Pretty much a bit of everything! :D
Yes of course, I dont normally try horses out without the owner riding first. :)

I really like him! Of course though, I am partial to TBs hehe.
So do i! :D haha. I never was really interested in tbs, since I heard they were highstrung, and small built. But this guy sounds nice :)
Even though I do prefer my big big bodied horses ;]

He seems pretty nice. Worth a look but while I like him I personally would not pay nearly that much for him - it doesn't sound like he has really proven himself in any form of competition.

Even if you don't want to compete, I don't think a non competition TB should be priced that high at that age. Still, if you could get the price below three I think it might be okay. Obviously though, I don't know what market is like where you live, but it seems like you can pick up some decent horses pretty cheap everywhere these days.

Horse wise though he sounds nice - but remember adds can say anything.

Up here in canada, prices are still very high. For a horse like this, its actually a great deal! He is also negotiable, and they have some tack that can go with him... he probably could go for $3500 with some tack, if we negotiate.
Also, there is a girl in gr.11 at the school I go to.. She is best friends with this girl selling this horse, and she seems really nice. We have been talking lots.

Still no pictures though :(

I would definitely take a look at him and try him out; he's a lovely looking horse :grin:
Yay! So far everyone thinks hes pretty :) I will have to arrange for next week, weekend hopefully! :D

:D Im glad you like him!
Still no pictures yet >:{ i was looking forwards to them :(
I am uber excited to go see him! I havent ridden in like 2 months though, so I am going riding this week. I need some practice before I ride him :)

I got pictures! He looks amazing! there are some of him cross country and some jumping.
It cant upload on horseforum at the moment though >-<
But he sounds amazing! And there is alot of tack that they will give me with him. Western saddle, dressage saddle, bridle, blankets, boots, leather halter etc. :)

Personally, I think this is the best horse you've posted... and I've seen all of them :)

He's gorgeous and he has a great form over fences. One of his knees is hanging a bit in the showjumping photo but not so much that I would be worried. Gymnastics would fix that right up. XC looks great.

You must go see him. I'm looking at him vicariously through you. haha

he is cute .. let us know how it goes when you try him ..

just a question- you said your barn doesn't let you jump, do you have a trainer you can work with. I would suggest you learn how to jump before just going and doing it yourself. I know there are a lot of people on here who just do it themselves but it seems like he knows how and it would REALLY benefit both of you if you worked with someone so that you can get down how to do a great job and team up with him jumping. Good luck!

what a cutie! i like him! around here a good looking horse that can school 3"6 and (assuming he's talented enough to eventually be showing 3"6) and suitable for any rider (if that's true) is worth a heck of a lot more then $4000. in fact, if he was closer i'd snatch him up!

:D I am so happy you like him!
I think he has gorgeous form as well! :]
Yay! haha, i am super excited to see him! :D

I've also read your other threads and I have to agree that he seems like he would be a good fit for you. Definitely check him out. Personally I love his heavier build, he sure is a handsome boy.
:D so far everyone loves him! :D I will def. go see him, hopefully this friday! Yes, I like how he has a bit bigger build than a normal tb :)

Of course I will let you know how it goes :D
My barn does let me jump, but I have to be in a lesson to jump. I cant jump on my own. I think I am going to cancel my lessons with them though, and find a jumping/cross country barn... Yes, I agree that for the first while, I will take jumping lessons with him, because i need to practice proper form over jumps.

Yay! EVERYONE loves him! :D I totally agree. He is worth alot more than they are asking... and it includes tons of tack :) yayya!

^ good to know .. till you are older i wouldn't let you jump alone either :)
Well.. even if my parents are there?
I think thats kind of ridiculous, cause how in the world am I supposed to practice? Oh well.. I will be getting my own horse soon, so then I can do fun stuff :)
