Ooooo, he's a beaut. I've been wanting an all around gelding like him. Not the time for me either though. *sigh* Someday...

He sounds like a wonderful horse and is not to hard on the eyes either. Let us know what happens when you contact them. It sounds like he is calling your name.

She still has him!! But isn't sure if she wants to hold him, or come down on price...

I like him, but that is no bargain price in this market.

Draft horses haven't come done nearly as much as riding horses, but they have still come down and that is top price at 3 grand.

He looks awfully narrow in the photo under saddle.

Maybe not in Oregon... price a few horses in Michigan. The hay shortage didn't hit us, we have been shipping it all over the country... horse prices haven't hardly wavered here.

Yes, he's a bit narrow... but I don't want him as a heavy draft horse, and being a gelding, isn't a breeder.

They wanted cold, hard cash and didn't want to "hold" him while I made payments. (Can't really blame them) But DRAT!!! my dream horse!!!!

Well, let them know that, if he doesn't sell, you'll be around. Maybe you'll get a chance to save up a bit and a good deal in the end? Or save up for the next good deal that shows up that fits your desires.

That's kind of my thinking right now. It bites, but if it wasn't meant to be....
If it was, then it will happen somehow.

I've been waiting and looking for that horse that flips my switch THIS long, a bit longer won't kill me.

That's too bad Kaz, I need a riding buddy around here!

I am sure you will find the perfect one when the time is right.
