Anyone fancy pony shopping?

[marmalade76]

A friend is on the hunt for a new pony as the current one is getting a bit small. She's looking for a light to middleweight 14.2 useful PC allrounder. Must be a gelding, good in traffic, hack alone, load and hunt. Don't mind an older pony but would rather not a grey! Small budget of £2k I'm afraid. Anywhere along the M5 corridor, don't want to travel too far.

Many thanks in advance

She is lovely, but friend really needs a 14.2 as she's still a junior.

 

[gugglebum]

Sure she can't be tempted by a 15.2? I've got my eye on this one. He needs bringing on but he's near to you and a nice price

Thanks, G, but friend is only 13 so is a bit too young for something that needs bringing on.

have you tried the PC website, there are normally loads of nice ones in there, albeit might be too expensive.

A two year old filly for a 13 year old to go PCing on?

Now that sounds fab, but I strongly suspect that it is way over their budget!

[Maddie2412]

yeah i actually know the grey (Murphys Law) truly one of the most amazing little horseys i have ever met but yes he is pretty pricey...!

 

[nikCscott]

Ok don't know why so cheap

This looks good (and sure a good vet and no shoes could bring her in height)

This may suit if your friend is more able- my favourite

[marmalade76]

Thanks Nik, but the first two haven't done enough and the third would probably be a bit too much for her.

 

[marmalade76]

We went to see this today

How did you get on? He looks like you can have loads of fun on him.

 

[marmalade76]

He was lush!!! Exactly as described and I thin* the sellers will be getting a phone call in the morning. Wish I could buy him for myself, might be able to nab him when he's outgrown!

Can anyone guess what breed he is??

awwh

erm, breed..hmm...

he looks to me like hes a native crossed arab ? (really pretty head from what i saw).
*waits to be hastily corrected!*

 

[marmalade76]

He's a pure bred arab!

 

[Megibo]

He's a pure bred arab!

oh wow! So i was half right then!

 

[PingPongPony]

He's a pure bred arab!

oh dear... every single arab i've ever met was either a psycho ridden or a psycho on the ground :/ lets hope this one is good ridden and on the ground

That's a rather patronising comment, Shiny ISH.

The arabs you have *nown must have been badly ridden and badly handled. Some of the arabs I've*now have been sensitive, lively or sharp and some have been totally chilled, NONE have been psycho, and this chap certainly isn't.

Your comment is exactly the reason why his breed was not put in the ad!

 

[PingPongPony]

sorry didn't mean to sound as if they're all that way. i don't think all arabs are like that, just the ones i have been around, mostly youngsters. i'm sure he's a lovely chap and i've seen some of the most well behaved horses at shows who were arabs so i have nothing against them, just a bit weary around them.
he is very pretty thou.

 

[marmalade76]

Your post also inferred that I am incapable of assessing a horse, that is what I found patronising.

 

[marmalade76]

Anyway, a sale has been agreed!

 

[marmalade76]

And the OH collected him earlier on this evening!
