Hey guys! I've looked at horse after horse....a Shire, two Quarter Horses, etc etc etc, and I found an amazing horse on Craigslist. Here's the blurb they wrote:
Iride Western but have been exercising my mom's boyfriend's polo Thoroughbreds (who ride English) and loved it, causing me to tack up my gelding English with my mom's old Pandur saddle and teach him. Ive started him over some 12inch jumps, but he just isn't cut out for it, ya know? Hes my baby I've been with him my whole life....he's 21 and I'm looking for a new challenge.
I called the lady with my mom, and she seemed verrrry honest. She said she was selling her because she needs to downsize for financial reasons from 4 horses to 1. Has extencive dressage training and some jumping, LOVES to jump. They're training her Western, too. Doesn't quite understand neck reining. Appraised at $7,500 but she is selling for $850 OBO (financial reasons). She just wants to find a good home for her.
I'm really excited. With the other horses I've looked at, I've wanted to believe it would work out but I knew it never would....with this one, I think it's really a possibility. My younger sister might be ready for my Paso Fino gelding soon....if he gets over his separation anxiety, which he will if I have another riding horse on the trails with him.
Anyway....any critique from the pics they sent me? I'm going to see her tomorrow around 7 pm. Thanks guys! Oh--and she's registered

They showed some pics and then texted me some more.
