Don't often post in here, but as Joeanne wanted details I thought I'd make a new thread instead of hi-jacking someone else's 
So here is my new girl. Arrived a week and a half ago and is actually far too good to be true!!
She is called Mally, 4 and a half, 16.2hh(ish) Irish Sports Horse. She isn't broken yet ass he was bought as a two year old to go to the Army, but didn't make the height. So shipped over here a month ago and sold to me
She is an absolute poppet so far! So well mannered and friendly, everyone comments on it. She had the Farrier today and he was very impressed with her, said she acted more like a 20 year old mare that had been shod all her life than a 4 year old baby! So far we have introduced a bridle, bit and roller with no issues whatsoever and she isn't bothered by boots on all four legs or rugs being lobbed on.
We are currently having a new menage built and she doesn't bat an eyelid at the diggers, tractors and lorries about. Tonight she was eating her dinner tied up on the yard and a tractor with flashing orange lights and a HUGE trailer drove into the yard, the pony being led in jumped out of his skin, whereas Mally didn't even look up
I'd better stop waffling now, I can go on for hours
I am completely smitten
(She doesn't normally stand with her back legs so wonky!)
Hopefully she will continue to be so easy. My plan eventually is that she will event and hunt, but I have to get on board first before I make plans
For anyone who was wondering, The Flying Cow is still going strong! He is the thug older brother previously mentioned and determined to bully poor wee Mally something rotten!
He is retired now and leading a rather spoiled existence with lots of haylage and food! He will be roped in to being the good example for Mally when she starts going out, as he is more than up to a few potters down the lane to get her going.
