I remember Amy from PC, she used to keep him at Chobham Pk Farm as I recall?
Sorry, no idea about Crunchie, hope she gets good news xx

Was he a grumpy pony to handle? If so I think I know him.

Hi Charlie76 - it looks very much like him, although it is difficult to know for certain given the size of the picture. Can you tell me more?

We had him in the riding school. If it is him he was a wonderful pony, loved to jump and is much greyer now! He came to us following beinga pony club pony for a girl called Lizzie, if I remember rightly he had been seen to crib a bit but stopped it after a while, I'd it us him he is still alive and was sold to a family to semi retire.

Charlie76 - is it possible to have a larger photo? If it is him (and I think it may well be) it would be wonderful to get a picture of him now. It is my daughters 30th birthday next week and she would just love to know that he is alive and well. Thank you so much for getting in touch and if there is anything else you can do to help trace him it would be greatly appreciated.

PS, the riding school isin Berkshire and the person we had him from is also from Berkshire

I haven't got any bigger but I'm in contact with people who rode him so I will ask them for you. Does the description sound like him?

Was he called Crunchie when you knew him?

Yes it does sound like him - he was a cracking little pong and a great jumper. It would be absolutely fantastic to be able to confirm it is him. Many thanks for your help

 

[charlie76]

Yes he was, came with that name.
