A tentative what do you think and how much

[Twinkletoes]

To be family friend, RC level / fun horse / poss hunting & very local level showing.

Here is the advert
SKEWBALD COB 2YO GELDING To make 15h. Genuine quiet bombproof chap. Great family horse. Lovely nature, nothing seems to phase him. Type hard to find!

Here are the pics. Shockingly, there is someone sat on him, but what do you all think of the pony, these are the only pictures they have sent.

I'm gobsmacked that they have a heavy adult on him. poor wee chap

my 17 month old looks more mature than him and i certainly won't be sitting on her till she's 3.
He looks very sweet, but i'd have big worries that his back is wrecked.

 

[AmyMay]

Couple of hundred quid? Looks like he could turn out to be quite nice actually.

 

[Bossanova]

Not my cup of tea but I suppose at about the £500 mark he could make someone a really nice friend

 

[chickeninabun]

He looks sweet, but poor love at having that big man on his back!
He doesn't look very big, are you sure he'll make 15hh??

 

[Twinkletoes]

I know it was a complete shock when they sent the pictures through, my head says no, as when I also asked what he was standing at currently, they said.............. about 13.4
Poor chap. They have him advertised for 1500 which is ridiculous, but I thought he could turn out to be a lovely sort. Goodness knows what else theyve tried to do and I didnt even bother asking if they keep his feet / jabs etc up together.

 

[JM07]

doesn't look tall enough now to make 15hh TBH...only looks about 13hh....

i have a coloured cob 2 1/2yr old whose to make 15hh...he's 14. 2 ATM...and better put together than that one..

 

[JM07]

the pony looks familiar...where abouts is he??

 

[The Original Kao]

13.4

They are obviously clueless about horses just from the pics but that just confirms it.
£1,500 is way too much

 

[Twinkletoes]

West Cornwall area... Penzance way.

I would walk away personally. If they have someone sat on him it probably isn't the first time and he may never be a ridden prospect poor thing. If they don't care about his back they may not about everything else. Also, how do you class a horse as bombproof before ridden? I would worry they had used him for a lot more than they are saying.

13.4hh...................?

 

[Twinkletoes]

I know. 13.4 exactly. At that point I stopped asking questions..... Goodness knows what else theyve neglected to do given the fact they thought it was a good idea to put some bloke on its back. Having said that, if he is not already nackered he could in a few years make a nice little chap, If he can be ridden now. Poor boy.

He's a nice type, with really nice markings.
I recognise those people
I prefer JM's boy, he's a nicer size.!

We went to see him last night. He is very well handled, came to call, let me pick up his feet, look at his teeth, etc, but, as expected, we walked away. I wont shame or be nasty on here or go into detail, but he will be lucky to make 14hh, I hope so much he finds a nice home.
