I get what your coming from, this horse sounds so cute and sound, but seeing from the injuries you said he has had, you don’t want to buy him, you need to have a very healthy horse, especialy if it’s your first one! When you get your own horse, you have to be very careful with who rides it, one for the reason that if they fall off they could file a law suit, and also they could injure your horse. My idea is you should go and visit it when you ride, and don’t give it too many treats, lol, just a basic rule, but be a nice as you can, and I promice you if the horse doesn’t feel right he will DEFENETLY tell you, 🙂 good luck and keep looking! elizabeth
