    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.
    Maggie,

    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.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!


    I love you baby, passed away 03/04/2008
