Hi see ur super di duperli new so welcome!

Hi Cynthia - I saw that you sold you mare - congrats! I have a young girl looking at Silko for the 2nd time this weekend so I am out of horses! I found a (ahem) mare that I really like in IL and am waiting on a contract. The California colt bombed his pre-purchase exam - like so much so that it was scary. Failed flex tests on front right, back left hock. The vet said "No horse moves that well- he must have neurological damage!" I didn't quite get what she meant but...I got the picture.

If this young woman doesn't buy him I won't consider selling him until down the road - as my goal was to show him around a 2'6" course this year. If I do that successfully, chances are I'll keep him through another winter and plan on 3 foot in the summer of 2010. I just got in from riding him and got a little choked up out there! He (and I) are rather out of shape and I am so looking foward to the spring.

I think I am giving up on "tallness" and just going for quiet show hunter -as all the nicest US prospect "jumper" horses can't be found under 15K!And who am I kidding, I can't even get to 3 ft right now. It's amazing, the demand must be so high for well bred horses -despite the economy. I dropped off of facebook as I was being contacted by some creepies from my past.

PS - This mare I am looking at is out of Diamont/tbx. She is very well priced, a cute (better than average suspension/won reserve at breeding show) mover and super quiet. Moves exaxtly like her grand-dam-sire Hadrian. If she passes pre-purchase I am going to ship her in a couple of weeks. I have a feeling I might get the breeders bug and then I am going to call you on the telephone.
