Sorry- I know you hate these! But I'm curious if I could ever sell me boy or if he's un-saleable
(Not that I'm planning on it)
15.2hh, 13 years old Welsh D (poss. x arab) chestnut, flaxen mane and tail. Owned for 5 years.
95% of the time good to handle, the other 5% a real pain in the backside, is known to kick (with aim and accuracy
). It's just a case of reading his mood- once you know him and can tell if he's got one on, you're really best to leave him be!
To ride he is the same. Some days you can put a total learner on him and use him as lead rein, but mostly requires experienced rider. Normally very good, forward going but sensible, not spooky just gets on with it type of ride but again, on his 'off' days very spooky, bucks (to get you off) and has bolted. Can hack him alone or in company no problems. Schools very nicely but has to be asked in the right way else he throws his toys out of the pram!
He is handled firmly and consistently, and like I say, alot of the time is spot on, the softest easiest going pony you'd find, good to groom, tack up, rug up, shoe, load/travel etc. Microchipped, passported, vaccs and wormers up to date. Can live in or out.
Occasionally cribs when stressed or stabled alot (very rarely)
Originally he was doing PC competing and jumping clear courses of 3 foot, xc schooled/HT competed, if he was still doing that, how much?
Bearing in mind he now has arthritis and is a light hacker (up to 5 miles 2 times a week-ish) how much?
You won't offend me btw, I know as he is now with arthritis he's pretty much un-sellable, but he's really just a typical Welshie as opposed to dangerous, and I'm just intrigued if he was still going out competing and whatnot how much he'd be worth (as were initially going to sell him before his arthritis.)
