Sorry but I think he is incredibly ugly

. He looks like a stuffed furry toy and that pink nose .... euwch! Sorry can't be doing with horses with pink noses; way too much hassle in the summer.
 
I have to say, when I had a little black Sec A, I also was inundated with people wanting to buy her; and I wasn't advertising her "cheaply" either...but she WAS cute and she was a mare

not sure why everyone is freaking out about the price....that's how much you pay for a welsh pony with good bloodlines (presuming it has).

i certainly wouldnt pay nowhere near that price...blood or no blood....

Come on folks - this is the real world! Not like me to be so up front, but tiny or not, you just don't get proven ponies for peanuts any more. Or if you do I can't find them at 11.2hh or 14.2hh.

Our saintly 21yo Reg Section A has taken at last count 6 different children from first ride to happily PC'ing off the lead rein and he is simply worth his weight in gold. His half brother (out of same mare) was advertised on horsequest 3 or 4 weeks ago at £6,000 and, according to the ad, sold within 10 minutes over the phone.

If they're proven safe and kind littlies are worth a fortune!

wrongly, IMO.....


Tell me, what, exactly, do "pushbutton" ponies actually teach their riders????
 
It is worth what someone will pay for it. If it really is that safe and good, it *will* sell for that!!! IMO it is the same as people paying £6k for a bigger 'allrounder'.
 
Well my Welsh pony taught me to ride, he taught my best friend to ride and then taught, oh about 10 kids to ride. He would do what you asked which meant you didn't need to sit there flapping and could concentrate on your position and aids etc.....bit obvious really how a 'pushbutton' pony could teach kids....

They teach them to be confident around ponies and to learn the basics safely. Our youngest was 3 1/2yo when he got our section a and clearly at that age there is only so much he is physically able to do (the child, not the pony!). The pony has been a safe friend to groom, cuddle, go to very short lessons at PC rallies and hack on the lead rein and around major showgrounds. He's have totally missed out on doing this - he loves it - if we didn't have such a reliable little pony.

Children can't teach a pony or indeed grow in ability alongside a pony until they have some degree of confidence and a small amount of experience. And that is what we get from our little guy.
 
not obvious at all....

kids need to learn on ponies that have minds of their own if they are to recognise "situations"....

teaching kids to ride...and kids actually learning, are two totally different things.....

i have never bought my kids "schoolmasters", and wouldnt buy any grandkids (god help em!) so called "schoolmasters"/"pushbuttons" ever
 
My pony was no schoolmaster, he was only just 3 and def had a mind of his own!

I know people who have 'learnt' on fat stubborn ponies and IMO they are crap riders as they spent their whole lessons flapping and fighting with the ponies...... I really don't see the point in trying to learn like this.....it's like trying to learn to drive with the handbrake on!

JM07 - would you put your 3yo on a pony with a mind of its own which is likely to cause "situations"? I certainly wouldn't.

I fully understand that children need to understand how to ride properly but until they have matured physically to some degree they are not able to do this.

I agree... why do people balk at paying that for a small pony when they'd pay it for a bigger one.
These ponies serve a purpose and for some children a push button one is invaluable although I'm not convinced any pony is totally pushbutton or bombproof..
