Re: [RC] SE Arabs for Sale - where are they?? - Chris PausI have bought and sold several horses online without seeing them in person. So far, I have not been burned, and judging from the reaction of the people who buy our BayRab babies, they are pleased as well. I've had two people ask me for videos, but most people have bought them just from photos on the Net. Sure, there's always a chance that the animal won't be as advertised... but you get that chance when you see the animal in person. One of the worst horses I ever bought was a horse I saw in person and rode twice before I bought him! I bought my stallion over the Net just from photos. His pedigree and race record were accurate. However, when he got off the shipping van, he looked 31 instead of 21. He was thin and bedraggled. But after good dental work, good groceries and some TLC, he looks BETTER than he did in the sales photos! chris --- cschiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: I live in the Florida panhandle. I will be looking for an endurance horse shortly after I sell my current horse (QH/ApHC that is not suitable). I would like to find an arab or arab cross, preferably with some LD or ER experience already. But it seems that unless I want to travel WAY out west, I am out of luck. I know there are ER rides in central florida, so WHERE ARE THE ARABS FOR SALE??? Has anyone bought a horse sight unseen before? For instance, if I see my dream horse on one the endurance.net advertisers websites and I talk to the seller in person or via email, I get a video, get lots of info, etc., but don't want to/can't travel all the way to Idaho, Colorado, California, Wyoming, etc., am I a fool for buying the horse without riding it or seeing it in person?? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
