| i was going to find a home for,my gelding formsoundness problems, i have been looking for a horse that could be faster with a little bit of riding i,have looked into,horses in the 8500.00 range until they are faster that the sore horse,that imhave been riding. So i scheduled a vet appt. I know those lower end horses will not have the training mymguy has, he is soft, supple and does a very good barrel pattern, sucker is atheltic. Told:-)vet we got to find out why. He is high loping he is at big shows 1.5 seconds off where he should be. As a 4yo he was running 1-d times. He is really a 30k horse. If hemis on his game, maybe 40k. 16hands and does it easy. Just need to fimd outmwhy sore in rear. Weather it is his back, si or kissing, or his stifles, or his hocks, or some tendonitis, i rode a 4k horse her head wqs in my face and her second barrel was sliced so at least 30day to,get her in shappe. But i am knot gjving that kind of miney and have to retrain, itmcoat someome mymtime is money. I am goimg to call and offer 3k as themlast showmshe,was in the 4-d. Only 185 riders. 15.2 won it she rN 17.4 OUT OF 4-D MOMEY? | |

| It's hard to follow what you are saying due to the grammar/spelling/typos.
Not sure what you are getting at, but
If you are wondering if you should get your horse that is 1.5 seconds off assessed and fixed. I say yes, but I am pro vet, if my horses are off they get assessed and fixed, I don't do the time off wait and see if they get better thing.
If you are thinking about buying another horse, I wouldn't jump into the first horse. A horse with their head up and slicing a barrel, I suspect lamness problems.
8500 don't expect the world out of the horse, as it costs that just in training to get a horse broke and loping the pattern with a descent conformation and descent pedigree.
