There are buyers and “buyers”. As soon as a horse is on the market there is a peculiar class of horse lover determined to check the horse out (to compare with their own) other horses at the yard and the yard itself. These are buyers” (aka time wasters). Most sound and are plausible, and probably even convince themselves that they really might buy the target if only they had the space/money/ talent.
But they are an occupational and relatively harmless occupational hazard; and ALL Funded’s regularly do the same(and love it) so shouldn’t be surprised when it happens to them.
The real buyer is a more complex beast (to follow), and variously –amateur/amateur with professional in tow/professional/mother with all the above/ really rich (in your dreams).
