I have to say the angle on his left front pastern looks really weird to me. However, he trots out nicely so who knows…

Okay but this little cutie pie. Give her a year to grow into herself and put on some weight ðŸ˜

Hmmm… you’re right, it does look a little strange. Doesn’t seem to bother him any from the video.
She’s gonna be HUGE! Looks like a well behaved lady.
Aw man, super pretty! Idk what’s more sad, not having the budget, or my current situation which is having the budget but not having the time 
have 5 ottbs currently that are great but really only have time to be halfway consistent with 2 of them and only because they are mellow enough that if I miss a day or two of work they are easy enough for kids to flat lol. But give me another lol. Ugh but sigh don’t want to take away a nice horse from someone who actually has time for it.
I love OTTBs, but truthfully, I’m probably not the best person to own one. I prefer Foundation or Lippitt Morgans but have had problems finding that ideal horse. I’ve owned an OTTB in the past, but he and I never really clicked. Still, I have a fondness for them and enjoying seeing what’s out there.
What I want is a horse to do VERY low level eventing and showing, and if I never do, I won’t be kicking myself for ‘spending too much money on a “trail” horse.’ I’ve thought about buying an ‘until I find the RIGHT Morgan’ horse for me. I prefer smaller horses WITHOUT “suspension” or destined-for-dressage gaits. I found this little girl, love her chunky-monkey look, she’s relatively close, and her price is really good, but…

She’s adorable!
In my case I get the Fingerlakes Finest listings in my FB feed. It’s very dangerous 😄.
I also don’t have the time, space, or money for another horse. But I keep dreaming.
I get that one too. lol

To answer your initial question… cause sometimes you buy them anyways :lol:
I was not “looking” and definitely did not realistically have the funds yet last week I somehow slipped and fell and on my way back up picked up two thoroughbred mares.

Oh I hear you 100% OP! I have the money for a horse, but my body is broken and it’s not “the right time” for one, but I have been window shopping continuously. My horsey friends have itchy fingers to find a horse for me too so they send me ads. I wasn’t so much into OTTB when I did H/J a moon ago, but something has switched.
Naturally, the horse hoarder in a muumuu and rubber boots tendency comes out of me and I want them all.
And just perusing CANTER for the simple matter this thread reminded me to look, I saw the cutie Al Taweel. Handsome, friendly, playful, could be a pony. Chrome. I’m going to go cry under the blankets for a bit.

Looks like he has a home? The link
didn’t work. What was his not-good name?
It was Let Autism Shine.
Yep… looks like he sold. Not surprised.
Al Taweel is nice, Vicksburg Bluffs has a lowered price. Lots of nice ones out there right now.
she needs some farrier attention to that right fore imbalance, but I agree, condition up and then train in a nice muscel topline.
I will always love TBs first and foremost. As a kid almost all the school horses were TBs and I just love their classic look for hunters.
