My $60 dollar colt -May walk away from this opinions PLS!!

[lorieMN]

ask yourself this..it cost the same to keep a healthy useful horse as it does a pasture ornament..are you willing to do that if that is what he turns into..if so then go get him,,if you have doubts then keep thinking it over,I am betting she doesnt have people beating here door down for him so he will be there in a month or two unless she decides to dump him at an auction.

Points Summary
The offspring of THE ELIXIR have earned award points in the following sections from AHA Recognized Shows:
Arabian Mare Breeding Section 3
Arabian Stallion Breeding Section 12.5

Crusing through some of the offsprings' performance records, some do OK in western pleasure or sport horse classes, but nothing extraordinary.

THERE IS NO RECORD OF THE ELIXIR WINNING A CANADIAN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
He did earn a Top 10 which is very good, but they should not be calling him a champion

Can someone tell me what CAHR and AHR.....I know its Arabian Horse Registry=AHR

 

[EweSheep]

Elixir has not been "busy" either.......probably due to the ecomony or bad sales.

 

[michickenwrangler]

CAHR = Canadian Arabian Horse Registry

 

[EweSheep]

Got ya!

 

[cozycritters]

If you are not intending to show, IMO the showing records don't matter.

There are tons of great horses out there that have never been in a show ring

 

[KristinH]

you might be able to help the swayed back some by doing 'back lifts' to help build up the muscles, I did it with a mare I used to own at the recommendation of an Equine chiropractor and it really helped..you just take the tips of your fingers of a comb and run it under the belly so that they tense the muscles and lift the back to get away from the tickle..doing it 10-20 times a day for a few weeks made a significant improvement on my mare..you might also try lunge training with side reins to get him to round is back more and further build up the muscles.

 

[michickenwrangler]

If nothing else make a pro/con list

Usually if you have any misgivings, it's not the best idea

There is a great difference between being a good working or pleasure horse but not 'show quality' and being an unusable horse.
