I believe on the 24th my mom and I are going to Phoenix to see this gelding.

Flashy and Gentle Gelding

And there are 6 other geldings here to look at if I'm not quite happy with Jimmy^. What do you guys think about Jimmy?

I'm not sure about his pedigree. I briefly talked to the seller and she said it would be best for us to come see him and/or six other geldings if we'd like. So I'm hoping we can do that. (Note: ground is uneven where he's standing - hill)

He looks nice, but on 2nd pic very downhill. May be just saddle and ground... Did you ask for pics w/o the saddle?

i would at least give him a shot. he's got pretty good confo. but it's hard to tell from a pic and he might look more balance without the saddle.

he's a beauty!!

Yes the price tag may seem a bit much but can anyone really put a price on a guaranteed broke (if he is??) horse that you can do anything on? Like I have seen so much on this forum...........you can't ride papers. :) Besides, if you are not planning to show, papers don't mean diddley since he is a gelding. I absolutely have to know how it goes on friday.

No, you can't ride, but if you want to sell the horse down the road papers WILL matter, because most people pay more for the papered horse and they are easier to sell usually. Also the big plus of having papers is at least you know for sure how old is your horse (if papers are not fake one which does happen too lol!). :)


But in any case you ALWAYS can try to bring the price down.

BTW, just wondering... Are u looking for the 2nd horse? I always thought Blue is a very nice one!

Blu would technically be my 4th horse. However, he is the first horse that I own. Our third year together coming on this July. We just don't "click". I picture him as a high-speed horse. Like with Barrels and Roping. Sure I do that stuff, BUT I want to show too! And Blu just doesn't seem to have that ability.

Another thing... if the horse has papers.. you can show AQHA. Can't if he doesn't!

He looks butt-high, but he's very nice. I don't know how broke he'll be--'he has a nice handle'. My, have I heard THAT before! And then we'd get the horse in for training and we'd say, 'I guess his handle fell off on the way here!'

If you don't know the seller, do not agree to buy any of them and then drop in unexpected in a week or so, or ask for a week trial period. A lot of sellers are drugging horses these days to make them appear 'calm'--and then in a week after owning your horse you have a fire-breathing dragon or a three-legged lame horse!

Good luck!
