I hate it when i have confusing moments!!!
There are two horses i've been looking at for a while, one i think i like more than the other but i am unsure which one would be more suited for me.
I'm wondering what you guys think, opinion wise, seems i have a thing with Fire
1. Fire Dance
he is beautiful with four white stockings and beautiful face markings
He has crabbet breeding (which i'm very fond of)
He is still a colt
Has not been shown, is not broken and has not been floated
He comes from a small Arabian breeder
3 years old
2. Fire Maker
He is beautiful with 3 white socks and a blaze
He is a gelding
He has been shown (National Champion and East Coast Champion to date), broken and floated
From a world renouned large stud
3 years old
The thing is Fire maker is $500 extra than fire dance plus GST but he has been broken to saddle and gelded. I'm unsure if i would geld fire dance or not. I have not ridden much in 6 years and i would need to find a breaker if i purchased firedance and possibly have him gelded. I'm a little confused right now.
Should I go with the gelding who has been saddle broken and been to shows before or go with a colt i'd need to find a breaker for and do all the extra work?
They are both the same age and both gorgeous horses. I should post pics i guess too ay? :)
Also Firedance is $35 a week ajistment and firemaker is $110 a week, if i bought now i would have to pay ajistment until i got back. Firemakers price will be going up in a few weeks also because of his training.
And who knows, either of the horses may sell.
I also have to look at how appropriate having a stallion would be if i get into university, i have no idea if you can take a stallion, plus it may be alot of extra hastle for me.
I've also thought of buying a much cheaper horse ($1,000) and just having a cheaper horse for a couple of years while i can chill out and then buy a suitable mare for breeding or showing at a much higher price.
There is so much to think about!
