Do you LOVE LOVE LOVE him??? Are you freaking out that they have't called yet? Maybe it's time to just call them and give them their asking price.

I do love the little bay baby QH but I feel like he's as much of a compromise as any of the other ones I tried, liked and passed on...

I also don't want to see too eager and call back when she said she'd call me as soon as she heard back from the owner?!

As it stands, I am seeing horses until I vet one, it passes, and the money is exchanged. I thought it was a done deal with Narew and then he flunked the vet. :angry: I should have continued shopping so as not to lose time while dealing with the vetting etc. for him. :(

So, as it stands...

-I am waiting to hear back on baby bay QH

-Tomorrow evening I am seeing 2 VERY close to home that I have been calling on since February and trying to see

-Thursday I am trying black horse again, with trainer in tow to see if she can help me get him a little more huntery for a better evaluation of him

-Friday/Saturday I am going to the Prof'l Auction at the NJ Horse park. More to look probably than to buy, but going.

-I assume Turle video will be waiting for me when I get home tonight from work. Excited about that! Would LOVE to buy a horse from a TOC/COTH-er :)

The 2 close to home sound soooo good....

They're at a hunter barn literally 10 minutes from my barn that I didn't even know existed until I saw the ads.

Both horses are 10, with some showing history, coming back into work after a year off. Roughly the same height (16.3/17) and price, both bay.

One is an appendix that did HUS for years and is now just learning to jump. Auto changes, really mellow. Does need to learn how to do the whole over fences thing but pretty experienced on the flat.

The other is a Dutch/TB cross that was a hunter jumper but showed very very little due to owner's finances, and not in a long while. Point and shoot, bombproof, dead quiet. Showed a lot less than the appendix but been jumping under saddle a lot longer and closer to being ready to go.

Both good movers, although the trainer says the QH is more HUS moving and the Dutch cross is more suited for regular showing.

I have been calling and calling and CALLING on these 2 sales horse and of course I finally get the trainer right after I see big bay baby QH. Go fig...

good luck...the bay baby is cute, but don't settle if he's not what you're really looking for...there are tons of horses out there, and you will find the right one.

i know it sucks to look, but keep your head up!

Dying of anticipation waiting until 4:30pm when I leave work and head out to see this afternoon's horse (the appx pulled a shoe, so only seeing the DWBx but he's the one I think is more like what I am looking for). Once I've seen him I plan on calling Marsha to either rescind the offer or up it. I am a bit dismayed that she hasn't called me back yet-- since Saturday. I will call her after tonight.

Cross fingers he moves well and has the right temperment. He is RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. Literally, it would be nuts but I *could* ride him home :) So if this one works life would be SO much easier in terms of PPE, transport, etc.
