Actually gonna add a story having read some others. I take OTTBs, retrain and resell for a living. I sometimes keep them a while if they are a good prospect to affiliate and compete but haven't kept anything longer than a year. I went to look at one that had had 30 days offtrack training. REALLY nice dressage prospect. Got on him and he was difficult. I spent 40 minutes trying to get him to accept the contact and he was taking the mickey, and then suddenly something clicked and he gave in. I had this amazing ride where we were completely in sync and I was desperate to get hold of him. Maybe he wouldn't have ended up as a resale but even if he had there was serious money to be made on this one. Defo a horse with potential.

Anyway, I didn't get him. I'm still gutted about it now.
