Im not sure how the loanee has ' tried it on with you ' as another poster has said. What circumstances did the loan start? Was there any talk of purchasing said pony if all went well? Also you may think £1000 is not much but its a hell of a lot to other people - dont believe all that you read on social media. I know alot of people post about going out competing and buying nice things and I know for a fact that they haven't got a pot to piss in! In fact I'm sorry but I think its a bit unfair to judge her on photos and how well the child is doing - would you still expect them to buy it if they were just plodding around the lanes twice a week?
It seems to me that its the money situation annoying you. If you want the money that bad then call or speak face to face - messaging is a bit of a no no imo - and say that unfortunately due to a change in your circumstances you now have to sell the pony and offer them first refusal. If they can't buy then remove the pony and advertise it elsewhere.
Bear in mind they may love the pony but the child will ultimately outgrow it so they may decide not to purchase it - or they may have been wanting to buy him but didnt think you would want to sell? Either way you wont know the answer unless you ask the question.
