DD - does anyone need a New Forest?

[cauda equina]

Molly, 13.2hh New Forest Riding Mare

Registered New Forest mare (BrooksHill Molly) 13.2hh rising 5. Absolute baby to handle on the ground, so sweet. Bought last year for my daughter who did a lot with her, fun rides, local showing, meet the hounds. Sadly she then had a fall which totally knocked her confidence.

Super pony! Can you point me to the "shrink me" bottle

[cauda equina]

Sweet isn't she! With the right jockey I bet she'd be cracking

 

[MereChristmas]

Not TOO far from me.

And me! She’s a sweetie

Someone buy her.

That pony is worth her weight in gold if she will pack such a novice child around over fences like that.

 

[cauda equina]

Absolutely, that's what I thought

mmmm...wonder if she'd carry a small adult, 5ft 3 8.5 stone - me!! looks lovely

Easily, do it!

Am I the only one thinking that, lovely pony as she is, why has she been put in this position with a rather novice child? If it was just one awkward jumping photo fair enough, but there are several. They should not have been jumping that big (relatively the fences are big for a young pony and small child) - no wonder there was at some point a fall. I hope she finds the right home with a balanced rider while she's still a baby, she looks like a saint.

@Peregrine Falcon are you out of riders?

Nope. Not just you thinking it.

I just didn't feel the need to voice the concern.

The post is about finding a nice home for the pony so did not feel it necessary.

I would think. I had a 13.2 NF as a ridden companion, I was same height and weight and actually rode her a lot and did RC stuff, she was brilliant.

 

[Tiddlypom]

Crikey, what a saint of a pony. The poor kid was well out of her depth.

Pony deserves a cracking good home.

Easily. I knew a Brookshill stallion many years ago, he was wonderful.

I had a Brookshill pony, BITD, he was wonderful.

Hmm, would my 31 year old nf think I was trying to say she was too old? She totally cleared off with me on Sunday……

Fair. Although from a buying point of view I would rather she had been better brought on. God knows how many other bad jumps she has had if these are the ‘for sale’ pics. So it remains a valid point.

Still a lovely pony.

I am!

 

[HopOnTrot]

Yes! If mine wasn’t just about to be fixed this is exactly what I need. 13.2 Bay New Forest mare with no white legs.

I’m 5ft8 and about 15% of her weight, so well within guidelines, if I were 5ft3 that would be even better!

 

[Kunoichi73]

Ooh, she'd suit me perfectly! Anybody fancy buying her and sharing her with me?

 

[SkylarkAscending]

I’m the right height but far too fat Maybe the incentive I need to stop drinking wine

[Lauraback]

What a genuine little mare I hope someone in here can grab her and give her a wonderful home

 

[splashgirl45]

Sounds cheap to me, bet someone buys her and puts a bit of work in and sells her for at least double in a couple of months just in time for the summer holidays

 

[shortstuff99]

Ahhh I love a good newfie! Hopefully the 'tries it on to avoid the school' isn't anything too serious, but does look very honest.

 

[Kirstd33]

Seriously considering the pony as I live pretty close, the seller sent across lots of videos last night and she looks a little smasher!

Oh that would be fantastic, please keep us updated!

Do keep us updated. I don’t think it would be a bad buy, as long as she hasn’t got anything physically wrong (NF’s are usually pretty robust). If you don’t get on with her you will probably be able sell for a profit with a better for sale ad.

Would anyone like to cast another pair of eyes on some videos ? If so PM me?
