At the hunter trial I went to yesterday (see my other post) I came across this lady while doing my entries.
The above title is what I heard first. Turns out she has a 11.3hh mare for sale / loan / free to good home and has been struggling to 'get rid'. She has too many horses and this pony 'has to go'. So, being nosey I ask more about said pony. Conversation went something like this;
Me; Hi, tell me more about the pony
Her; What would you like to know
Me; Mare, right?
Her; Yeah, a lovely little 11.3hh black mare. I simply don't have room for her anymore. She must go. I'd even give her away.
Me; How old?
Her; 15, a great PC pony, loves hunting. Lovely jump.
Me; Sounds like a good sort, will she do lead rein?
Her; Oh yes, she is very good. Has taught many children.
Me; I'll take your number and have a think.
Her; Great. Oh, by the way, pony doesn't like to do showing, she rears.
*Thinking - oh how fantastic, a pony who rears, very suitable for children then!!*
I guess honesty is great, but for this reason Iam not surprised the pony hasn't got a new home yet. Iam sure there is a lovely little rider out there who only wants to hunt, and go fast.
Good luck to her!
