I am looking at buying a 4 year old TB mare who has good conformation, a great temperment, is smart, and very willing to work. Problem, she was bred to be a race horse, but was never raced because her check ligaments were too tight. The previous owners opted to cut them instead of doing the usual braces and bandages.
She has since been with a gal who takes great care of her and has put numerous hours of training on the flat and over small jumps. I would like to purchase this horse as a dressage mount, but would like to feel comfortable about selling her as a hunter in a couple of years if i get into the higher levels of dressage.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I have been told that this horse could easily be used for jumping fences under 3'-9" but anyting over that would be questionable and could lead to arthritis.
Help me!!!
