Hey Gang!
I just tried to post this, and yuku ate my post. WOE!
Ok, so the post about the 20k hunter got me wondering...I love the horse in this add. Love him. I'm only window shopping. I can't afford another horse right now and besides that, I have a nice 16.3 hand tb gelding who is actually making some good progress lately and is sweet as the day is long. I love him madly. However, I window shop because it's fun and every once in a while I see a horse that I say "wow, I really want to buy him"
Here he is:

He's really not expensive compared to what we were discussing on the 20k horse thread, but I think he's nice.
I am curious what you hunter ladies think of this horse as a prospect for high end local showing in the va area (hunter mecca) and possibly some rateds down the road. I know he's green, so take that into account. I wouldn't expect to show him tommorrow. I just am curious because I don't know if I like this horse because he's a big red tb who reminds me a lot of Nickle (rip Nickle) or because he's genuinely a nice horse and my eye is still solid, LOL!
Be totally honest, you won't insult me. I can't buy him so this is just a discussion of hunter prospects and their merits and important points.
For what it's worth, the last picture of this boy's daddy REALLY looks like Nickle back in the day.
