[QUOTE="earthwrx, post: 349588, member: 5983"] Personally, If I'm buying, I talk to the seller personally. By that I mean the one that rode the horse. If it was a kid's horse talk to the kid. They can be pretty clever but you can usually tell when they are up to something. And realistically, grown ups are just big kids with lots of practice. So if a guy is going on about great this horse is, why is he selling it? If he's got to many like most folks do try to imagine how good the ones are that he's keeping. Take a look around the farm see what else he has. I talked to a woman once for half an hour about a cow horse she had. She wouldn't budge on the price. Told me how great the horse handled. We finally decided to ride him around the barn yard a bit. Now I've never roped or anything like that, but I've rode quite few. Wouldn't you expect a cow horse to know something about backing up a, at least in some fashion. I asked her what kind of que she used to make him back up. She told me, I tried several times. The best I got was the horse never blew up. We left she still has her "cow" horse. Your fisrt impression is usually the right one. Think long. Think Wong. [/QUOTE]
