That's a good idea, thanks. I think I've just solved my problem though, I've just talking to the owner of a horse I used to share, and I might be riding it again twice a week in exchange of what I normally pay for my lesson. And she is a brilliant horse. I'm actually the happiest person ever...
Someone else already does that. And the riding school is too far away to go more than once a week and I can't drive myself. Sorry to sound so negative but I really have been down every avenue etc. I'm just fed up and don't know why I can't sell my yearling. Is he overpriced? I just don't know...
kate26 - I'm not expecting to buy anything decent for the money, I'll probably end up with a small unbroken pony, that I can back and sell on for a few hundred more. And keep doing that until I can afford something decent. It's not that they don't want others riding their horses, they don't want...
It's not like a 'you can exercise my horse' thing. It's more of a you can walk round the school on it under my supervision. And then when they say they aren't riding the horse that day, or the next day etc, when I ask, I just take the hint they don't want me to ride it.

Arghhh I'm just so depressed and stressed out etc right now. I don't mean to moan, well I do, but I don't want to seem selfish. But I only have one horse, he is a yearling kept at livery. I can't afford another one. I've hardly ridden for over a year. Long story short I've started having riding...
This is a reply to everyone lol.
I'm not buying the pony as a long term thing, I want something to sell on so I can afford something more my size. Might have to do it a few times before I can afford anything decent though. I'm 17 and doubt I have much more growing to do height wise, but I wish...

Are people generally experienceing a slow pony selling market at the moment?

Short answer - yes!
Yearling gone in H&H again today so we'll see. He's been for sale for months and I've dropped his price right down. I'm sure if someone actually came to see him they'd...
I have long legs, is that good or bad? Ideally I'd like to buy a 13.2hh that I'll look not so out of proportions on, but I've a very, very tight budget. I will find a way lol.
Thanks.

Saw an unbroken 3/4yo in H&H. Arab + Con to make 14.2hh. Lunged over a small fence. Would excel in endurance, eventing disciplines. Or it said something along those lines.
£3,500 I thought that was very overpriced.
Then there was another that read quick sale needed hence £35,000. Oh yes...
Oh bugger they don't have a shelter, they just use hedges.
There's no sign of storm, or even rain, as of yet. Touch wood, fingers crossed etc. I'll fetch him in tomorrow if it starts through the day. Hopefully it won't come tonight.
Thanks.
