Bought Murphy.... Sooo Excited

Well after a 700 mile round trip yesterday (4am start) I bought Murphy... 15.1 Irish Cob lightweight type. Skewbald gelding, 5 year old just broken feb this year - baby

He is totally bombproof - had him on hack and fabby - will be soo good for my daughter to hack out with me walking along side.

He had a little buck with me as tried to see if I really meant trot on when we went past the gate!!!! soo cute as he was obviously thinking why am I trotting in this field where I eat grass all day !!!!

Any ho got past it second time with only a small glance to gate and left him at that. Really just needs schooling on but just a blank canvas really which is nice.

Will get some better pics up to let you see his conformation - bit straight in shoulder I think but he will fit the job for now - some general RC stuff and get daughter riding improved and have some fun.....

Now all I have to organise is transporting 350 miles - just had a quote from Gillies of £288 =VAT eak - any one know anyone else -cheaper....

He will be vetted next monday - fingers crossed X


Murphy
 
Thanks
Have now filled it in - fingers crossed I can get something reasonable - dont really fancy the drive again - this time with trailer!!!

Thanks to everyone with all the nice comments - really looking forward to having some fun with him.
 
Brilliant news

I was wondering how you got on. As for the transport - I don't think you will come up with a better price. When I bought Ella a couple of years ago, I was charged £340 for a 160 mile journey (round trip of 320 miles for transporter). Money well spent in my case, as she travelled beautifully.
Fingers crossed for the vetting - bet your daughter can't wait.
 
I couldn't find a cheaper quote than Gillies when I had my pony transported from Scotland. They are very professional and I would use them again.
