Okay. So, what do you all think of this horse? He's 7 years old, an Appendix, roughly 16.2hh, and unfortunately a bit out of shape, seeing as he was left in pasture all last semester. He's located at the University of Findlay in Findlay, OH, and is ridden by my trainer (a student there) every day. The video was taken by my father, who hasn't videotaped in god knows how long, so I apologize now for its horrible quality. I've been riding for almost 9 years (I started at 6 and am now 15) and showing for about 7. I show my current horse in 2'6" Novice Hunters and usually make a pretty clean sweep of the ribbons (not to brag, but.. xD). I've jumped 3' on a green off the track thoroughbred, and I've helped my friend train a pony (which got sold for $7500). I'm currently helping her with another one which will hopefully go for around $4000. I'm going to trade my horse for this one. (con't in additional details) But basically, I want to know all of your opinions on this horse. I'm dead set on buying him if he passes the vet check, so nothing you can say can sway me from that decision. I just want critique and tips for him and me =) I'm posting the video here in a few minutes as soon as it uploads. actually, you can just find the video as soon as it's up on my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/xfiasco as well as a video of my current horse, Melvin. oh, btw. the horse this whole thing is about is named Biff =) omg! haha. Yeah, I pretty much ADORE Biff. And really, he wasn't "for sale" per say, actually more like I was looking for a horse and Raffi was like "Eh whatever go look at the horses and tell me who you like" cause we went to watch a IHSA show and I think he just wanted to get us off his back for a little while xD Anyway yeah my friend and I wandered around and saw Biff and pretty much fell in love. And we kept bothering Raffi about it so he was like "OKAY I'll talk to Sam" and yeah. It just went like that. I'm probably going to trade my current horse for Biff. =) heres the direct link to the video, for those who are lazy =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTfrED7f3Vs I'm 15 years old and 5' tall, exactly. I'm gonna be small on pretty much every "horse." But don't forget Margie Goldstein =)... read more
