I was just thinking riding my boy this morning how lucky I am to have him and thought I would just reassure those horse hunting that sometime an unspoiled 5 year old is the way it go. I have ridden allmy life and am nearly 50 so when I was looking 18 months ago I know I needed not a blood horse but something with good paces and a jump. I bought a not quite 5 ISH more draught than anything from a dealer that understood what I wanted. As I always say it's not what they do it's how quick they do it. I had a very quiet confident rider take home for his first hack first shows and fist proper x country. Apart from the odd excited buck and not have much done with his feet (which they told me) he is perfect. Hacks, good in traffic and most important for me never gets excited at shows or x country. He has never been hunted which was something else I wanted. So please don't dismiss a young horse if their temperament is good they could be the one

Sometimes 5 year olds are the way to go
