Hi everyone just after some advice for my little mare.
Bramble is my 11.2 section A - i've owned her for two and a half years and can't bring myself to sell her. Initially I brought her to show however she isn't going to be good enough (as awful as it sounds) and I have another Section A to show.
She is as safe as houses - is broken to ride and drive all of which I did myself - she really is phenomonal and can be trusted to do everything with the smallest child. She is a snaffle mouth and isn't the slightest bit strong but isn't a kick a long either she is light and responsive off the leg.
I don't have a jockey to ride her and she is being well and truly wasted. A little girl comes and rides her but it is literally walk and trot and I would quite like the pony to enjoy her work and not become sour.
But heres the catch - she's 4. People sound very interested in her until they hear her age and then they back off like the plague.
She hasn't been jumped yet as I felt she was too young and have had no intention of rushing her education but plan to get YO to get her popping a little fence around the end of summer. She has been cantered both in the large menage and out in the open and she pulls up instantly. She is a safe pony although I feel she would suit a child who knows how to ride simply because I want her to learn just as much as the child and I don't want such a safe super pony ruined.
I have no issues if I couldn't loan her out - I have the time and money to keep her along with my other two but feel she is being wasted.
Am I asking the impossible and should I take the bull by the horns and advertise her for loan or should I look at that in a years time? I'm really not sure what I should be doing!
Thanks for any advice
