ok, I will look-wasn't sure, saw one line went up but have to admit I didn't look too hard either! Thanks---if it's true it's an extensor in the knee, then it would be responsible for picking that knee UP -ie in every movement, much less jumping, right? It doesn't sound great.

Have to ditto this. When things start not matching up, then you start worrying.
I vetted a horse, a TB actually, from someone who told me he was 6 and did this and that, etc. Turns out upon vetting & checking the tattoo that he was 10, stopped racing due to serious knee injury, etc. Suddenly she was willing to drop the price drastically.
I liked another horse when I tried it- a non-raced TB. Well the story changed between the first & third times I talked to the owner. I started checking around, contacting the show organizers and anyone else who may have had any contact. Their stories of him and her stories were two *completely* different things. I passed. I worried there was too much baggage, esp. the unknown, that I didn't want to get into from the very beginning with that horse.

So be very skeptical. I say this because you are in PA and for all I know you could be looking at the same horse. (I won't say where the PA gelding was located on a public BB, the owner was a shady gal. )

I just read the first few pages of this...GIVE HER A BREAK!! Every horse I've owned has been an OTTB...including one that was starved when I got him back (long story, he'd been on a free lease on the otherside of the country bc I was still on medium ponies and didn't need a horse yet...) Said starved horse was a SAINT. He was terrified of the vet...and didn't cross tie but you could put any kid on him and he'd do everything from walk-trot to 3'6" at the local shows (twisted his back end a smidgen over 3'3" so he wasnt going to win at the A shows in the juniors). I guess what I'm trying to say is not all horses are the same...some are the exception--even at a young age!!

I trust my trainer completely, and I'm sure there are other people out there that do too...if this girl trusts her trainer and the horse is right for her than give her a break and be supportive.

Let us know if the horse vets, and good luck with your riding!!

I say let her do what she wants. If the horse ends up being not what she expected, it's her own fault. Let her learn from her mistakes.

sigh. why don't you cut everyone else a break? I'm glad that you think that its awesome for Tiffany to go and buy the first horse she sees. Honestly I don't care that the horse is a TB. I wouldn't care if he was a purple pumpkin people eater for all the hell I care. I just know that horse shopping is FUN. Why miss out on it? I'm glad you think that I'm hassling her and i must of course be giving the girl nightmares showing these beautiful *which I would give anything to have one of them BTW* horses. I must be terrifying her by trying to tell her not to miss out.

I am a horrible person... *sniffle* may I please have a hug someone? Please?

MSOP, who are you to second-guess Tiffany, her trainer, and her parents anyway? Unless you are personally (and by that I mean standing in her barn with your DVM degree in your pocket) associated with any of these people I can't understand why you are beating this issue to death.

Sure, her story has inconsistencies, but that may very well be just a function of someone who, unlike all of you (said with dripping sarcasm), can't relate facts well in written form.

Why can't you armchair experts just wish her well and let it go?

It's OK Pink! ((HUG)) I have to say, the more I read of this, the fishier it gets. Now the horse is being vetted *next* week... Why wait so long? I know people trust their trainers, but how about trusting your gut once in a while.

Thank you Hitch I've stated I wish her all the luck in the world, but it doesn't hurt to show her some real cool horses. I had fun looking for them anyway I don't claim to be an armchair expert at all. Hell I don't claim to be a folding chair one I'm not second guessing anyone just talking to Tiffany as a friend. If she wants to go ahead with that, awesome. If not oh mein gott I took up about 20 lines of space in internet land.

Have a nice day Hitch I'm sorry that I upset you so, I hope the rest of your day improves greatly

Tiffany, since you aren't going to vet him until next week, why don't you see if you can go spend some time with Beanie, and maybe schedule another ride, in the meantime? Any reasonable seller, knowing that you are serious about buying the horse, should have no problem with this. I had the opportunity to spend time with and ride my new horse SEVERAL times before I handed over the check, so I felt really good about the purchase when it happened...I KNEW this was a fun, rideable horse for me, and loved spending time on the ground getting to know him. I pretty much knew the horse was right for me after just one ride, but I still would have been a bit uncomfortable handing over the check based on just one ride and limited contact (because I did that once before, and regretted it later).

I finally set up a photo album...take a look!

[ClemsonGraduateRider]

Flypony I was just going to suggest the same thing.

Why not ride a few more times before the vet? Can't hurt right?

And Hitch there are plenty of people on this board that don't write perfectly but aren't flamed for it, the difference is the attitude .

yeah but its hard for me to get out there cuz its 3 hrs away and my mom and dad are busy. I test rode the horse for a long time and we spent well over 4 hrs there talking to the owner. My trainer has faith in me and thinks the horse is prefect for someone who wants to move up from ponies to horses. Im sorry to everyone now i feel like ya'll hate me. but i have to follow what my trainer says she is my godmom and has known me for a very long time.

[monstrpony]

Tiff, nobody hates you. People are just trying to share their experiences to make sure you don't fall into some of the same traps we've fallen into ourselves. If you really trust your trainer, then nothing anyone else says matters in this, and you are doing the right thing. But we're just trying to help.

There are some things you've mentioned in this thread that people asked for more information about, and you never followed up on these requests. How do you think the people who asked these questions feel? It would be easy to think that you don't like US because you won't answer our questions. It's okay if you don't know the answers, just say so. But it works both ways in terms of having a conversation.

In any event, good luck with your horse purchase; I hope he's everything you're dreaming of!

Tiffany I don't hate you. Promise

I just wish you wouldn't be put into the position that I was a long time ago, and would hate to see you go through that.

No one wants to see you stop posting about the horse. I'm sorry that you can't see that even though some express it in different ways that everyone DOES care about what happens to you, some people are just a little more forward (yes I will even admit it Rude) about it.

Tiffany we all care, honest. And no one hates you. I swear on a stack of horse illustrated.

Tiffany also, I know that you love your godmom, she sounds like a great lady, but parents tend to get 'overzealous' sometimes. Try talking to her, asking if you can look around sometime. Since she's your godmom wouldn't she be willing to spend some time ago and even go horse shopping in your area for a while? Even if you are totally set on beanie, itd be fun and a nice day out, right?

Good luck Tiffany, and keep us updated. In the meantime, maybe try printing out some of the research that was given to you about beanie boy's injury, maybe even a couple of horses you deep down in your heart like on the internet but havn't really said anything. Godmoms love you. She wont get mad And theirs no hurt in a little research and a little looking into things right?

In any event, no matter what happens, if you do get him I hope he's the horse of your dreams. If not COTH will be right behind you.
