Hi everyone.
I was looking on Craigslist for a new cheap gelding and I saw a post that said "2 geldings" here is a copy of the post.
"I have two geldings for sale one is 20 years old, paint and around 14hh and broke. I bought him to give lessons but he needs too much tuning up to be worth my time since the girls aren't taking lessons anymore. He was supposedly trained on barrels once but I haven't tried. I believe he could be a kids horse if they know how to ride. The other is a flashy sorrel gelding, about 16hh, broke to ride andaround 11 years old. He was put on the barrel pattern a few times and used to know how to sidepass, ride bareback, etc but hasn't been handled in a long time. I'm asking $500 for the paint and $800 for the sorrel"
I was interested in the Sorrel gelding so I texted thepeople for more info and pictures of him. He is completely sound. But he looks thin. I asked if he was a good weight and they said he was a "decent weight" He looks thin to me and looks like he needs some muscle.
What do u all think?
Maybe he just doesn't have enough grass and hay??? I've bought a few under-weight horses before and after a good month of being here in my big pasture field they packed on a ton of poundsand look really stout muscular now.
He does need to be wormed though.
So maybe he has worms?
