Oh yeah, good point I forgot about the shetland grand national, will be going out to buy a saddle and bridle soon then :) Laura, my sister will be so happy and hopefully they will both enjoy it! So we will try it once she has settled in a bit more x thank you for the advice
Yeah, she has been broken to ride and Mike keeps insisting that my younger sister would be fine to ride her but I'm not sure what do you think? Annabella is 10hh (possibly a little bit taller) 8 years old, was last ridden about 8 weeks ago by a 7 year old off the lead rein doing small jumps.
My...
She has settled in so well :) Had her in the field today doing some trotting poles, weaving poles and then we went for a little walk down to the brook/stream down the lane from my house which she loved! She is such a great little pony, Mike called in earlier to see her and said she looked quite...
Yes Ester :) Mike was splitting the field into smaller paddocks today haha my little sister ran around the my field playing with Annabella and grooming her when we got home whilst me and mum made her a paddock in the field with electric fencing, it is the type with three strips as Mike said that...
Meet Annabella :) A very sweet cheeky and extremely funny mare! My mum and sister came with me this morning to meet Annabella and we all fell in love! Mike said we could walk her home and have her for 2 weeks and then buy if we like her, he said he will sell her for £200 for us and he will come...
I am going to calm down a little bit, I am going to cancel the viewing of the section c as I dont think she is what I am looking for so I am just going to go and spend the morning with Mike (my neighbour) and meet Annabella the shetland and discuss all about her, find out exactly what she will...
I have 2 large fields both split into two with electric fencing but I could if need be for the shetland split them into smaller little paddocks for the shetland as I am aware they can easily become overweight and then become prone to laminitis, my cob seems to easily but on weight so in winter...
Fallen in love with this mare, message the owner explained my whole situation and she told me to go and meet Charm (the horse) and she will be happy to help if I want any showing advice or help and she would love to stay in contact if i choose to buy her and would be happy to help me showing and...
Love the idea of getting a shetland :) In fact their is a field down the lane with about 9 shetland ponies in (I think they are actually miniatures) I have spoken to the man so many times, he is very lovely! He breeds them and usually has about 4 foals a year, he usually sells them all, he does...
What do you think of this pretty mare?

I am going to gonsal farm today with the intentions of looking at Sprite and Sharky and telling them what I am looking for so hopefully they will be able to show me who would be most suitable :)
After A LOT of searching I think I have decided that I prefer cobs, I have always had a passion for...
This stunning little mare is right on my doorstep, has done well in in-hand showing and has potential in driving- so I could pursue that side of things as well possibly in the future? My sister has broken two of hers to drive (first one with help from an instructor) so she knows what she is...
I am not to worried about winning and going super high in the rankings, I really just want some fun! Obviously it would be good to have a winning in-hand pony but I am happy with an outgoing fun little pony who will have a go at different things! :)
