Re: Buying horses over the internet.

I(my parents) also bought my horse without seing him. Nasib has turned out
to be a wonderful endurance horse and absolutly perfect for me! I love him
with all my heart! But I also see the risks of buying a horse without seeing
him first. Some people will do anything to sell there horse, even
lie.Whatever happens, I hope you find your dream horse!
