Help meeeee, people...! I sold said Shetland earlier in the year to a family with children but now they have lost their field & given me first refusal to buy her back for what I sold her for.
Pros: I have had her since a 6 month old fluffy foal & she is very cute. I have the horses at home so an extra one wouldn't be much more expense. Trev the ex racer lived with just her at my last house for ages & would be delighted to see her. My Dartmoor is only a couple of hands bigger than her & they used to groom each other. The Dartmoor would also be pleased to see her. I was only thinking about the Shetland a couple of days ago & wondering how she was getting on & missing her.
Cons: Another set of feet to do in the mornings. Escape artist, and when she escapes, the Dartmoor tends to follow. (Won't be forever - our fencing is getting a considerable upgrade if I can pin the fencer down to a start date. 2024 at the current rate of progress...) Potentially needs different management to the others. I am saving up for an FMBs unit which is £££££££££ for my new chap, and buying her back would put a dent in my budget. I was trying to downsize & have got down from 7 (!!!!!) to 3, and for a blissful week before Trev came back from loan, only had two.
But...she's cuuuuuuute...!
Her advert is going live any second, so I need to make my mind up!

. Everybody should own a Shetland. I bet none of your others make you smile as much?
