I spent years dreaming of a dun highland x tb. Ideally mouse dun/grulla, but I’ve made do with a bay dun instead! I’d also love a GRP /weser ems pony. Preferably a stallion. In a funky colour.

I ‘downgraded’ to a native x tb (specifically a highland x). He’s the funnest thing on 4 legs ever to have existed and I have absolutely no regrets 🤣

But he has a MAGIC bit that cures EVERY evasion and fits EVERY horse. What’s not to like?! :rolleyes:

Since when were you made admin?

Jay Johnson I assume

Why are we giving only 2 possibly outcomes? Either the horse is interred in its stable for eternity or lives happily ever after with its friends? Either it is never caught and dies a painful death or it becomes a ‘useful’ ridden pony. Both the better outcomes can be achieved without causing...

The one that got me was a little pony, I can’t remember what trauma it had been through but it was utterly terrified to the point they couldn’t get it out the stable. Instead of making the world a little bit less scary for him, he made his only ‘safe place’ in the world so highly pressured that...

I haven’t watched anything in recent years but he was very much on my ‘the emperor has no clothes’ list. Timing, particularly of release, was terrible and he put far too much pressure on for my liking.

The Wintec lite saddles don’t feel bulky and I’ve used them with success on cobby types. My current 3yo I’m in a similar quandary over though. The wintec gullets don’t fit him as well as I’d like, the Fairfax ones better (currently XW in his Fairfax breaking roller) so keeping an eye out for an...

To answer your actual question, yes there are a few that I think about. One I didn’t even view, but when I was looking for my first horse as a teenager there was a 15.1 4yo 3/4tb x Welsh palomino gelding on H&H that I lusted after. Unfortunately it was a few hundred miles away… First horse I...

Was it called Lagan/Logan? I liked that one too, he was sold in 2024 then came up for sale again last year, backed but looking extremely poor.

I have had a few pairs of Sealskinz, but now prefer the ottershell ones.

Do you have a rehab plan to follow? I’d be very careful with some of the ‘backing up’ suggestions as they may not be appropriate given his advanced hock arthritis.

@Autumn30 how are you getting on?

I think the idea of real time virtual training on longreining, with a nappy horse, on public roads (however quiet) is a recipe for trouble, sorry.
