Thank you!
I mean, I may be totally off base here and she may know what she is talking about, but she came across as a spoiled, know it all. Half the stuff she said was completely unapplicable. Saying that she has ridden and trained TONS of TB's and then turning around and reccomending him for her 8 year old niece who isn't even cantering yet to me just proves that she knows nothing about them

The horse is 100% for her daughter, she herself is absolutely terrified of horses, I have told her it will be a year (actually told her that when we were looking at him, said that I wanted to make sure she has a positive experience and doesn't lose her confidance...blah blah blah. She went to the feed store yesterday and bought him a blanket, bridle and joint supplements...so great, I told her that I have plenty of saddles that she can borrow for now.

and BTW, since the vet was out giving me a $200 vet bill for my little paint/arab, he looked at his feet and its an absess, so nothing too serious thank God! Actually when he put the hoof testers on it burst so it should be getting better soon and we can get him under saddle and find out some more about him. I will say that he has some of the best ground manners I have seen on a OTTB, most of mine were pushy buggers when we first get them.
