I agree, this horse is not worth 20k. He is very long in the body for his length of leg, and he is only going to get heavier. If he is quiet and sound, maybe 10k. Pretty is as pretty does, and IMO the horse is not worth 20K. I don't know what he's worth, but there have been conformation experts tha...

I got the Petrie boot care kit from Dressage Extensions. They also sell the Petrie color matched boot cream. I think I paid $28 all told. Totally worth it.

I would go on the dressage horse FB groups as what you are looking for is pretty common. Noel Williams is selling several horses that meet your criteria in Dressage Horses for your Consideration- Weanlings to GP. Below are a few. Alfonzo (Al), 17h 2004 Hanoverian gelding, Akatschi (Akzent II x Wenze...

well I will be the dissenting voice Trevor is waaaaay overpriced I see a pudgy flat moving barely training level horse who appears to have a bit of a sour attitude, reading his ears. the rider is really doing a lot of hand work to work him ( spread hands uneven) and that downward walk transition is...

Regarding the palomino mare Redsox mentioned, I wonder if this is it. This one is around 5k usd. I don't know what shipping is for a mare from UK. It's around 10k to new york counting quarantine. https://sporthorse-data.com/classifieds/top-class-palomino-dressage-prospect The other prospects on thi...

He can be charming, as you can see. He's lost the "hard" eye for the most part, so we are hopeful.

redsoxluvr

As you can see. my guy is more of a sporthorse type. Since he has started working correctly, his hunter bump is gone and he has a pretty good topline. This was taken about a year ago.

It sounds like this horse has just been dinked around on, owned by a teenager possibly dabbling in barrels, definitely not specifically WP trained. I've been around plenty of WP and I quickly pass on any horses that are shown peanut rolling and doing a dinky jog and lame 4-beat lope. If they aren't...

Not at all what you are looking for, but dang, the price is sooo tempting. Lucky for me, dh and ds would probably disown me if I bought her. lol A cute “about 17H” QH gelding popped up on my FB feed today too, for only $3K. When I was looking last year I couldn’t find a damn thing over 16H and unde...

Thanks for the tips and links, all! For now, I'm keeping the hunt to 6yo and younger. I know of an absolutely gorgeous palomino mare in the UK by Treliver Decanter (DiMaggio). She's 4 and I am positive you could get her to the US including shipping for 15K. PM me if interested. How is this even pos...

Most credit card companies have a time limit as to when you can file a claim. I would check with your credit card company, then let the seller know that you will initiate a dispute by x date if you don't get resolution. There is definitely the complicating factor of being a custom order, but if the ...

UDBB, I'd like to tap the power of this board for a horse hunt. My current mare is 12 and is going well, so there's no immediate urgency (i.e. I can look at unstarted and/or young horses), which is good because my wish list is ridiculous. True confessions time: I have always wanted a palomino. More...

I don't know that the boots will drop that much. I have worn mine twice on the horse and a couple of times around the house and mine have dropped maybe 1/2 CM. I have the Olympic model. They're pretty stiff but are not the stiffest ones they sell. When I ordered mine, I wanted 52CM high at the back ...

redsoxluvr

I am only riding my advanced horse in them - they are far too tall and stiff for my project pony. They are comfortable though, and I think they are a great value.

redsoxluvr

Here you go! I have ridden in them twice so far and they feel great. A bit big, but better too big than too tight .

redsoxluvr

Well, I got my boots today and they are absolutely gorgeous. They fit great and the workmanship is top knotch. Total delivered was less than $600, even with a full custom top, color and ornamental cuff. I ordered mine March 21 and got them today.

Oh, and I did get the 7CM bow. Totally worth it.

Thanks redsoxluvr. Those saddles are pretty pricey! Not sure I want to pay that much money for a saddle for my little rescue horse but I love how adaptable they are so it can grow with her. May I be so bold as to suggest used? You will never, ever get your investment back on a new one. Find somethi...

I've lost three horses in the last 10 years. One was due to a pasture injury, the other two were catastrophic colics. One of the colics was a severely debilitated rescue horse and when he colicked it was no surprise. He survived the first bout, but went into afib during the second one and I had the ...

So very sorry for the loss of your pets.

Your boss is a douchebag.

If you have a picture I can probably tell you what size it is.

I've had a few Schleeses, all of which were solid, good quality saddles. I won't pay their new
prices, because they are ludicrous. I will however pick up a used one if I can. As always,
the fitter is key. Definitely research who you use, because it makes a H U G E difference.

@RosieB- what made you choose the Allure over the Elegance? And what made you choose the 7 cm bowl? I'm also very interested to hear how the new tapered ankle feels and if it affects the drop at all. I chose the higher bow because I think it looks purty, plus I got a gauntlet with croc and I wanted...

redsoxluvr

The height is the one thing I am stressed about. I ordered 52CM high, but the seller said based on my physical height that I should have ordered 50CM. Of course as they are the experts, I agreed to the 50CM. Now I am stressing that they will not be tall enough. I did order mine with a 7CM bow, so at...

redsoxluvr

Still waiting to receive mine as they are full custom. I shall report back at once!

Love this post. I have also bought Le Mieux from some of those places and loved it. 2 points though: 30 GPB is more like $42 though with US prices on Le Mieux it's still a steal. Dover now carries Le Mieux (admittedly for the higher price!) in case you want to touch them before you buy and Dover ch...

Thanks redsox, they have the LeMieux acoustic bonnet in black/cob in case the Schockemohle doesn't work out. I'm glad I'm using the the LeMieux merino numnahs, which only come in black or white, so I can't get tempted to go down the matchy-matchy rabbit hole. The olive green would be lovely on my r...

horsehealth.co.uk is my favorite, but I do like others. Sheepsgate Tack is good, saddlesdirect.co.uk is good as well. There's an eBay seller called happytailwaggers that is excellent too.

Please, please, please update at a future date whether you like your Petries or not. I had Petrie 3000s back in the day and they wore like iron.

I will do so. I got them for just under $600, so I am spectacularly excited.

This thread is timely, as I pulled out my white breeches, shirt and stock tie yesterday and threw them in the wash for the first time in years. I ordered new boots this past week. I ordered navy Petries with a navy croc cuff. I am pretty conservative, so this is a bit of a stretch for me! I have a n...

I will be the first to think that the riding was horrid. The TD could have given her a yellow card for the actions after the salute. In fact, they should have, as the judge saw it happen and can give testament to her actions. If it isn't possible due to current USAE rules, we as USAE members should ...

He got a horrible sore from it, they are fairly stiff. Granted, it is her mistake to not take it on and off each day, but it still sh...
