Horse shopping is definitely fun. The process of buying however, especially when someone else's money is involved. What's even worse is when someone has already bought the horse, and you're the person who has to point out the mistake....
I bought a horse once, only to find out a year later that the issues I was dealing with, and the reason the horse was such a good deal was a very large very big tendon injury. To replace him, I had a 'friend' try to sell me another horse, who I had fallen in love with, only to find out a couple thousand later that he wouldn't vet.
That particular frustration spurned my trip to Germany, to the Westfalen Auction at Munster Handorf, where I met people like Frederik and Gabby who helped me find my dream horses. And Romanze....the 'surprise'. I guess ever cloud has it's silver lining....Sometimes you just have to search long enough to find it...
