no you aren't picky! you just don't want someone to sell you something you don't want...which happens ALL the time! Seller: she will be gaurenteed english, and so will the baby she will throw....1 year later, horse is in training for western or ugh the dreaded hunter!!lololol!!! so no I don't think you are bieng picky, you just don't want to get something you will be unhappy with!!

oh and I found out the sire of that arab/hackney gelding at my barn, it's Hallmark, and there is also a mare in foal to him....but I must say that the gelding has quite poor conformation, he is extremely sway backed, and not very well put together overall, but his movement is pretty decent.

Oh the Hackney thats at Pheonix Equ?? Yes he is very sway backed, hes not my pick at all.

True juls I remember when i got a couple video's of horses last year, 2 were hunter under saddle in the video and the people said they were EP. Argggg its tough!

Kind of a personal question, but what is your budget range for purchasing a mare and does she have to be trained or just showing potential?

I cant go any higher than $10,000. Nope she doesnt have to be trained. But she has to be over 2 years but under 6 years and she has to know the basics, like leading, tieing, clipping, bathing, trailering, good for farrier and vet.

I have about 5-6 videos coming this week, should have been here by now, I am going crazy waiting, I cant wait to see them!

Dang, about 7500 over your budget... There is a really nice mare for sale that is already trained and in your age range out of Hey Halleluja out of a Promotion daugher that is a nice mare, I've seen her in person but they want $17,500, although I know the owners WANT her sold, I don't know that they'd go down $7500... She's only an Hour South of me, so about 4-5 hours south of you, so not a rediculous shipping charge involved...

If I had a big enough budget right now, I'd buy her because I like her and she's got trot She was top 5 Region 5 CEP Jr Horse 2006 and was born 2001, so 6 this year. I saw her in 2006 at Puyallup showing the same weekend I was showing dogs and really liked her BUT I had my Dancer girl and my baby Elle and I'm NOT sorry I have them at ALL!

I know between the $15,000 & $20,000 range there is so many amazing horses!

I thought Dancer was CEP horse? Thats what I thought a couple years ago. Mabe if you bred her to a good EP stallion......... you could have your EP baby????

Its not to hard to find 2 year olds in my budget, as soon as they are broke it seems there price jumps 100% So I am going to do the training, much cheaper.
