    Is now the right time to buy a horse?

    Seen a horse I like with £100k off its original asking price (its been on the market 2 years), and am seriously tempted. Good price, good runner, a bit too big for me (but thats not a bad thing).

    However, it would really annoy me if I bought just as we have a horse meat price crash as things in Europe really kick off.

    Opinions?

    Does Mrs Pondy like it?
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

      Depends if you want one for investment (e.g. racing) or for living (transport)

              Nope, it would definitely fall down dead when eaten
