I do not not know this pony but this girl has had two of mine for schooling and is a good, honest, sensible person. The advert would seen to tick a lot of your boxes. And she's only in the Scottish borders! https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14PH18iNYvM/

Thanks for the reply. We are based South of Scotland. They are in good 'sellable' condition. Feet done regularly, up to date with worming, jabs etc so would be ready to go straight to someone's yard. They have been 'played with' and are well handled for their age.

I am open to options. I suppose my biggest worry would be sending them hundred's of miles away without a guarantee of a sale and then needing to bring them back!

Thanks for the reply. Any information is helpful. I will have a look at them. I think its always a tricky age with 1-3 year olds.

Hello, Husband has put his foot down this year (rightly so). As our sheep herd is taking over I really need to sell some of my youngstock. All are wellbred dressage warmbloods. 2x two year old fillies and one yearling colt. We are stretched for time working more that full time, running the...

I might be way off the mark here but I just wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar. I have a mix of big youngsters and ridden ponies. I have noticed that two of the horses are starting to almost get a ewe neck. One is an older mare who is very fit and competes up to elementary...

Any sound, fit horse can do low level endurance. I do lots of endurance and we see everything from heavy cobs, tb's, Arabs, Icelandic's and everything in-between! I would never look past a Arab x welsh. Tend to hardy and are great for the one horse owner who wants to do a bit of...

If you have a socket Trace heating is a life saver. I switched it on 2 nights ago we have been down to -8 and the water is still running. The trace heating heats the stable trough and one field drinker but as the water is being kept tepid is also allows water to flow out to the field troughs as...

I deep litter. Big open barn with concrete floor. Wood pellets with straw on top. Lovely big bed as 3-4 share the barn and it is run in/run out. Never smells and it gets topped up with fresh straw whenever needed. We muck out with the tractor 1-2 times per winter.

We have camera's on the main gates and in the fields (more for checking horses than security) and they have brought a great piece of mind. Sadly I do not think anything truly deters these people. We had a friend that was broken into a few years age and they took all his garden equipment...

Thanks this is really helpful. I had £10 a bale in my head so good to know I am in the right ball park.

We have a wonderful neighbour that comes and bales our hay and this year has wrapped it for us. He never tells us a price and does not 'charge us' but we try and make sure he is never out of pocket. Difficult when he won't give us a cost! Can anyone give me the going rate for baling and...

Thank you - I actually have tweed so that's even better. I thought I had to wear blue for part bred's so that's good to know I do not need a new jacket. Glendale agricultural at Wooler.

Looking at the in hand and ridden Arab class as a part bred.

Having had pony for 13 years we are going to go and try our very first showing show! But I am clueless! She is PB Arab and it’s a fairly big agricultural show. Should I be using coloured velvet brown band? What colour? We only have a black dressage saddle - will this be okay? Should I have a...
