Anyone in search of a young horse?

Not a dressage warmblood type but she is very pretty, athletic and well-balanced. She is a coming 2yr old TB/Clyde cross. She can be seen on warmblood-sales.com, her name is Valkyrie and you can find her under "new listings" Located in southern Idaho. My friend is the breeder/owner. Obviously not broke to saddle, but has been ponied, trailered, trimmed with clippers etc so she has good ground manners.

She is very nice. Too bad I'm too old for a young horse!

Her ad says she is TB/Shire, not TB/ Clyde cross.

[Sue B]

Ooops, my bad.

[Tanga]

Ouch. Horses are expensive! That is a pretty nice horse, especially for an awkward two year old. I'm with Canyon, I'm too old for a young horse, and I'm not starting over again.

She is cute, and those high whites make her so flashy! I will keep an ear out.

TB / Shire can be a nice cross. My old trainer showed one to I-1 and he also was champion hunter

Pending pre-purchase already!

SOLD! That was fast! First person to call and then look at her, wound up buying her at full price. I guess the market is still red hot Friend is happy and sad

The market is insane! Someone I know was offered a $5k, non-refundable deposit just so she would pause showing the horse until an interested party flew in the following week. The lady ended up buying the horse, but if she hadn't it would have been 5k gained and only a week of showings lost.

Glad this cutie found a home!

Definitely a good time to be selling a horse, buying one not so much.

Dang that was quickI I wanted to see the ad!

The market is absolutely red hot, and that 2-year old was a steal.

I now have an 11-year old who is riding. She was a serious gymnast who had one of those "serious gymnast" falls. Time and rehab are healing the body, and to my absolute joy, horses and dogs are helping with the heartbreak. She will never be able to do a lot of physical things other kids take for granted, but, miraculously, docs have cleared her to ride and she's found joy again. She is super brave, a hard worker, physical therapy has kept her very fit during rehab and her natural ability to control her body was the thing that got her picked for gymnastics in the first place. Not surprisingly, she's progressing well.

We are very, very lucky that she has a ride on an out of this-world pony who's just her size (yes, I'm completely and utterly in love with a 13 hand pony) but her legs are already reaching the edge of pony's belly. I figure we have maybe 2 years until she's too big for the pony love of my life. The prices for something that is both talented enough and sane enough to actually work for her when she's ready for a step-up would take your breath away.
