Nice gelding, what do you think.

I am JUST thinking about this guy, even though I mainly ride western.
What do you think of him.
This guy is for sale for 9,000, but I can get him for 5,000(good deal)

I cant help much, but he's pretty!

EqUeStRiAn · 12-28-2004, 10:14 PM

I like him but i dont think he'd go as nicely for western. Hes beaut tho.

Cowgirl2135 · 12-28-2004, 10:23 PM

The reason I am even considering him is because it would be sold cheap to me, but I can sell him again for bigger money.

QHGirl · 12-29-2004, 06:11 AM

Would you be able to show him and promote him?

If you want to get into dressage and learn it, he would be perfect. If I had the chance to do that, I prob would. I would say no on the western though... just not the type to do WP...

It takes a lot to sell a horse, just to turn around and sell it, makes people wonder what is wrong with the horse!

He is beautiful, but is no way close to being a WP horse.

If your going to buy him cheap, then turn around and sell him for more money in a few months people may think that there is something really wrong with him. First make sure that you do have someone who is willing to buy him before you spend your money. You never know sometime you might be a good long time trying to resell the horse.

Just my opion.

MyBabyTex · 12-29-2004, 06:28 AM

i think he's gorgeous and if you want to try dressage and what not, go for it. But I'm pretty sure you're planning on keeping him for longer than a few months, right?

I think its a good project! Best of luck, he's so handsome and 5000 is a great deal.

CowGirlUp1833 · 12-29-2004, 06:36 AM

OMG! If you don't buy him quick, I WILL. I LOVE HIM! He is Awesome!

Cowgirl2135 · 12-29-2004, 11:15 AM

I mean, I will be keeping him for a year, and ride english classes, and ride him western for fun. Than selling him. I was planning on showing him a bit more.
