I have so enjoyed watching the videos (2 so far) of Fiona observing and "trying" potential new horses. I can't wait for the next one. When is it due? Being a happy hacker and owner of a wonderful hairy irish cob, I wouldn't ever be privileged enough to see this type of horse being discussed/assessed and ridden. I love dressage, but know my limitations!!! Seeing the process of pre-purchase trials has been so interesting and educational, and all whilst sitting on my sofa waiting for the rain to stop so that I can get up and see my boy for a ride before the next shower kicks in. Don't you just love the British summer? Great website, am continually learning from it. Thanks.

No 3 is there now and the final installment is coming next week (end of Aug '10). Enjoy! It's been fun for me too!

Brilliant! Am very tempted to ask you if you've made a decision/purchase yet... but I will resist and wait with baited breath for the next video.
Many thanks.

How fantastic and exciting. Congratulations! I look forward to finding out which one is your "new baby." I wish you well with him. Getting a new horse is so exciting and scary isn't it? Can't wait to see regular updates about how things are going. I'm presuming that you are planning to keep us informed?! Having watched the videos I almost feel as though I've been part of the whole process. Happy days!

"Can't come quick enough as far as I'm concerned!"

I quite agree! :) So looking forward to finding out who the lucky boy is, and watching and learning about his training. How fun!

I've been re-watching the vidoes and reading Fiona's blog to try and work out which one she finally picks. Think I've narrowed it down to two, but undecided regarding which one will be "the one".

Brilliant! He was the one I thought you'd go for, although I understand the pull towards Cuba. Buddy is the right one, it's amazing the difference between your first ride and the one in the 4th video, such a difference already, so imagine what could happen between now and October! I wish you every happiness with your "new boy". Looking forward to following his training. Happy riding!
