Goddamit, I just had a search on Horsequest, just to have a look for you, and have had to stop before I went and bought another for myself!!!

I keep reminding myself that horse hunting looks like fun when it is for someone else. When it is for you, you think each one is 'the one' only to arrive at the yard and find there is a pretty big drawback that the owner 'forgot' to mention, or 'never noticed' that before.

I got as far as showing Mr Red a video, he has advised me to step away from the $3£@&&& computer!

The search I put in brought back these... https://www.horsequest.co.uk/search

ETA - oh, it didn't remember the search, how strange.

If there’s one you like, send me the ref number and that’s how I can then pull it up.
 
Up to height NF aren't readily available! I have an old one who is. I am 5'6 and a bit and my mare is 14.1. Good depth of girth will take up the leg. I could point you in the direction of someone who's ponies are up to height and sometimes over if you were interested.

Worth seeing in the flesh but I still don't like the back end. Still too straight through the hocks and something wrong with the proportions and angles around the sacroiliac and croup. Front legs on an inch too far forward and he's pointing, which if he always does it indicates heel pain.

Probably completely different and a very nice pony in the flesh :)

How would you get him backed if you have him? Are you intending to back yourself or send away for backing? That would add around £1,500 to price.

Would depend. No stable free at my yard at the moment and Bog needs his for 3 months. If one came up I’d do A mixture of it myself plus yard owner. If not he will need to livery somewhere else anyway for a bit so will invest the extra in breaking livery.
 
i am typing this about 30 seconds from gloria nolan`s in carlow, at my son`s house, so i am close at hand at the mo , also we have a breeder of connies at the stud in kildare using empty fields, his son was an international judge of connies , but he sadly died, so could get phone number he could be a good one to recommend genuine ponies.

next month i might be over for goresbridge, if you get stuck i could pick you up from the station in carlow, fly to dub, train from dub heuston to carlow, 1 hour
 
that grey is lovely, a bit short in the quarters with a slight hump, and not that strong in the loins, but if he moves as good as he looks who knows.?

TB x Highland can be a really good cross for a hardy but sporty and quick thinking mix

I bloody LOVE highlands. Little devils. I liveried on a highland pony stud farm in Aberdeenshire when I was in my teens and absolutely loved them. I used to ride one of the stallions bareback and head collarless in the field when he was kept opposite my house ?
