So me and the ponies have rather landed on our feet. New farm, they have all access passes to the yard, the gigantic cow shed and 5 acres of good grazing, no mud! The two oldies have paired off in a loved up whirlwind romance, 21 and 25 respectively they are rather enjoying each other’s calm company.
However it has left the 3rd, my youngster, feeling a bit left out. I keep finding him off on his own and when he comes over he splits the two oldies up, ears back and very grumpy toward the old guy who panics and runs off as soon as he sees him coming. It has been mentioned a couple of times by the YO that a pony his own age might be a good idea...there’s enough room and as hers is retired she could do with something to ride. Plus if we take ours out for a ride together it’ll leave the old boy on his own.
There’s a few on WWH that would fit the bill, smaller, young boy ponies that could be backed. It would be YO’s so only work I’d need to do is the backing which i’d Happily do for her this summer. It’s no extra work for her either as they come and go as they please so no mucking out. So just a little feed and a bit extra hay which they don’t eat much of anyway as the grass is so good.
So tell us it’s a bad idea and they wouldn’t be happier as a 4 rather than a 3...
