14.1 Chestnut Gelding-Chester?

[slalic]

Hi I am trying to trace Chester, Bright chestnut gelding, He stood around 14.1hh had 4 equal white socks and a white blaze. Middleweight type (possibly welshy). He was sold around 1996-97 to a show jumping yard in the Cheshire area. (He didnt have a passport when i sold him but assume he will have had to have one by now) He didnt have any distinguishing scars but a small splint on a hind leg. Occasionally had problems loading when he simply refused to go in, other days would run in?!
I am guessing he will be around late teens early twenties by now? I woiuld really like to find out how he is as he was a pony in a million!
Thanks for reading

Do you have any pictures of him?

I do but they are at my parents house. I will post some soon, I was just looking through the forum posts and felt inspired!

I rode a Chester last year for someone and he would match your description (although I'm not sure how old he was, pretty sure he was in his teens though!) but I'm guessing Chester is a fairly common name for a Chestnut.

I'm in the Hereford area and I had him at mine for a few weeks to get him going again and then he was sold. I'm pretty sure he went to a local PC home.

I can't honestly say that I would be able to say if your one was the one I had by looking at a photo and unfortunately I deleted the photos I had of him.

Well I will keep my fingers crossed that he is the same one, I wil try get some pics posted on here tomorrow and see if you recognise him. Thanks

hopefully this link works... I cant work out how to upload the photo on here :-(
It isnt a great photo but if I can try find more if you still think its a possibility its the same pony. Thank you

I don't think it is him, seem to remember the one I had having a thinner blaze and finer legs, the leg markings also don't match. Sorry

that looks like my friends old horse, chester was born in 1990, the yard we were at in yorkshire wouldn't let her have access ( my friend was young and experienced) and then the horse was kept by the yard owner (known for poor care of horses) . the horse disappeared in 1997.

I will try and find a photo
