I finally got the time to post some pics of the horse I am getting. Last Saturday (September 1st) I went up for the second time and got to see him again. I also gave half of the payment for him.

Here are some more pics!




This is me beside him. I found out that he is over 16 hands. And I am only 5'1"




And yep the horse on the right was nipping at that other horse lol. My horse was behaving


Thanks everyone, hope you enjoyed.

Very cute horse. I always wanted a horse but never could have one. I have had friends who owned horses and got to ride theirs but never my own.

[Suki Wingy]

I just love him.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. He's got really nice coloring.

Wow, thanks so much everyone! I do really like him. At first I was looking for a barrel racing horse, like a nice compact Quarter Horse, but then I seen him and really liked him, so he won't be good at barrel racing, but we will still go in it for fun

Right now I am really aggrivated. When I went up there on Saturday, I was suppose to get a photocopy of his registration forms. Well my friend got her copy but my bad luck said that my horses's copy wasn't there because it was in a binder that Roger(the business owner) had with him up in Quebec. So the daugher there said she would email the registration form as soon as her father (Roger) got home. Well its been almost a week and that hasn't happend. So for four days now I have been calling their house and I never get a hold of them no matter how many times and what time of day. And then I looked at my written receipt and noticed that the daugher didn't sign it, so I asked my friend if she signed hers, and she had. So now I'm kind of worrying. I am soon going to leave a message on their machine saying that I feel like they don't want me to buy the horse now since they aren't answering my calls or messages and if they do not reply soon I will be going back down there for my money back.

I really hope it doesn't have to come to that though, because I really liked that horse

I lOve his colring, and he is just gorgeous. But is it just me, or is he standing funny?? He seems to be off on his front. He is standing with his front legs stretched out realy funny. It just looks odd to me, maybe it is just the pics. Have you gotten a vet check done?? That is #1 priority with purchasing a horse. You just want to make sure there are no underlining health issues.

It finally hit me why I think the horse looks odd, he seems to be standing as if he has Navicular disease. If this horse stands constantly like this, I would not purchase this horse, unless you are fully aware how to deal with this issue. I just dont want to see you purchase a horse you cannot use. What will you be using the horse for?? Once again I would reccomend a vet check, before Purchse, by your vet, not the owners. Good Luck

I honestly was thinking the same thing, navicular, with the way he's standing. I wouldn't purchase a navicular horse, they are intermittently lame even with good hoof care and it gets costly to maintain. At some point too, the coffin bone can rotate even farther and there is no help for it. I just was afraid to say anything in case someone thought I was "picking" on the horse or being negative. Get a prepurchase vet exam for sure.

If he is sound and you go ahead and get him, make sure you get someone to properly help you fit a saddle to avoid back issues. He has very high withers and is a bit narrow framed, so you may not be able to use a saddle you already own.

Hey guys, thanks for all the advice. What I'm gonna do is call the owner again and ask if he's had any recent vet checks on the horse and if he does then I want to see the papers next time I come up.

I don't have my "own" vet parsay, and the horse vet here would not drive three hours just to check out one horse.

But I had a horse expert with me and she didn't see anything wrong with him. Here is another pic where he wasn't like that:
Just in case though I am going to email my cousin (who knows horses better than anyone I know, and see what she thinks)

That's dirt on him by the way.
