Thank you everyone..will upload a photo once she's been delivered. I had previously sent a horse friend photos of both the colts we were viewing saying which one would you pick and she said you'll know when you see it...so funny that I was then really drawn to the little mare instead. Very...

@Jules111 Its very much a family business and before the child even set foot on to the yard the first thing she did was put her riding hat on. Id say she was probably about 10/11 and obviously knew what she was doing and under close adult supervision. She had clearly been well trained and around...

Hi thanks for everyone's comments...think I probably do need to do more research into it before committing to breeding. The 1st seller also had a lovely little coloured mare there who was super sweet and friendly..also handled by a child. So we are going to go with her as think she will be the...

I don't have experience with breeding but everyone has to start somewhere. My circumstances have changed recently where I put my ridden horse on loan and they want to buy him. I got my mini mare as company for him but they have totally different needs so it didn't really work. So now my mare is...

Thanks for all the replies and to clear up a little I have a mini mare and considering breeding so that's why I was looking at colts. Hence I liked the 2nd one more because he was better looking/colours. Both where same age and price only first sellers where more than happy to include delivery...

Went today to view 2 mini colts from different sellers and wondering if I was expecting too much or if the seller was in the wrong here with the viewing process? So went to one yard and saw a lovely colt - handled and lead up by a child, picked up feet ect. Owners obviously passionate about...

Thank you everyone. My gelding has finally calmed down. They removed her body from the nearby field this morning and drove past. Thankfully he was lying down resting at the time. Very traumatic experience to witness that. I don't think I'll ever forget what I saw and how helpless I felt to not...

He was there when it happened but unaware and then I got someone to take him back to the field as I had enough to deal with. I have done that before when I had my dog P.T.S ..we allowed our other dog to say goodbye so she didn't think we had just taken him out one day and not brought him...

My friends 17 year old mare died today right outside my house. My poor gelding is desperately calling for her over and over again. Just feel so shocked at what happened. She just backed up, reared up and threw herself backwards on the road and had a huge fit. Blood everywhere. By the time the...

Yes I think she will have to move but I've tried my best to help resolve the issues as if I have 2 in the field paying that covers my field costs leaving me the money to do extra things like fencing ect. Also I do care about the mare and would hate to think of her being elsewhere neglected. We...

Yes it's my field so I try to manage it..she's one of those think she's knows it all and because she's had her own field in the past she wants to question everything I do.

Good luck, it’s always challenging managing people . Yes it definitely is. I've had her in my field a couple of times in the past but mostly during summer so this is the first winter. My field is on a hill and gets horrendously wet and muddy and I've done my best to keep everyone happy. We...
