It's a no-go. Went out there...and the horse barely knew the basics, she was pretty green. She had trouble getting balanced with a rider-when you asked her to trot, she would stop and go, stop and go and throw you forwards and backwards. I went to try a canter...she was all over the place and tried to take off towards the girl and my friend standing across the field, got very strong. She needed a LOT of work. My friend, who barrel races, rode her too and echoed me, that she had a hard time just trotting her. She seemed almost dopey to me, although she could have been just real calm-she just like, stood there while I tacked her up, no interest whatsoever.

The leg really didn't look all that great-I felt it and it was kind of lumpy o.O. Plus I probably would have had to put another $200 or so into her...her feet were ATROCIOUS, horrible, she would have needed shoes on all 4 until they got better, she had like no hoof and it was ragged all the way around. I think the pictures were from a while back. They had never had her teeth done...hadn't wormed her since August. I looked at her coggins papers and it said she was 12, not 8. So...pretty much a no.


I now have a place I can keep a horse for free, plus feed and stuff...my neighbor really wants me to buy her gelding (she's gotten offers but turned them down?). She told me I could make payments on him, so I gotta put some thought into that and maybe go out and ride him again.
