No, it's not. Letting you trial the horse is a very nice bonus, but refusal isn't a red flag. It's a huge risk to take. Both horses I trialled me and my trainer knew/had prior relationshios with the sellers, so there was a basis of trust there. I don't blame anybody for not wanting to trial. I wouldn't let a horse go on trial unless I knew the person really well.
Nah, trials are risky. You can send the horse out and maybe it comes back lame or trained badly, etc. A girl rode cliff ONCE to try for a lease and she scared him so badly it took me weeks to undo that. I can't imagine how bad he'd have been if she took him for a proper trial
Owner said no to a trial. Even an on property trial/lease situation. Which also edges me to wondering if he was like that all the time. Oh well. We moved on. He was also the first.
I had two horses on trial. One tried to flip over on me. The other vetted badly. Evie I rode once, wasn't present for the vetting, and she turned out perfect 🥰
Right. But they wanted 10k for it. What if I took him home and he ended up being exactly that all the time? That is not something I currently as a rider could handle. I am always improving, but I am not spending 10k on a show horse I cannot ride.
I had a horse I was training near a military base and he was LITERALLY bombproof. Rode him while they were testing and he never batted an eye. Somebody came out to try him and he spooked at a tractor. So sometimes horses do just try their worst 🙃
I am most interested in Anglo Arabs though. The one I tried was awesome. He would have been good for hunters or jumping. But that is not what I was interested in. As soon as I got on his back it was instant “Ok what do you want me to do?”
to be fair could be calm for them and different with someone else i always take horses behavior with a grain of salt because theyre never going to be exactly the same for every rider
