Sorry guys I know this most get boring but looking for thoughts.
We are considering selling my 14.1 pony as we think he would enjoy life more doing Pony Club stuff again rather than just hacking & Mum & I could both use something bigger to compete on.
So here is the important stuff.
14.1 12yo 110% bombproof hack, tractors, double deckers ( I mean it, he has been 30 yards away from a helicopter taking off & didn't bat an eyelid!)
I have never managed to fall off him in 5 years! done all PC activities including camp/ beach rides etc. Nearly always DC sj up to 3', no RedRum speed wise but a nippy little thing in jump offs. Loads, clips & shoes like a lamb Total confidence giver
BUT, he can be a git to lead in from the field & will drag the leadrope out your hand if he thinks he can get away with it.
He rarely tries this with Mum & I now as we use a Be nice halter & a lunge line but think he could well start again with someone who wasn't firm with him.
Here is a pic with V wobbly little sis (lost interest):
So apologies for the essay and do you think A. he is saleable & B what would you pay?
Thanks again
