Find me a pony please HHOers...

I completely understand the appeal of the connies that are quite like your Boggle :) BUT it might be worth considering something really quite different in some ways. Comparisons being odious and all that and you may not find it that easy to make another such good transformation. A starting point is good though and if you like a certain type that is fair enough :) It is good to know what you like but horribly easy to close your mind to other opportunities...Connies sell on well though and there is no argument against a good one at all!!
 
Seen many an in hand welsh win championship after championship as youngstock never to be seen again after 3 most being either shot or chucked away as broodmares and their youngstock going the same route

Because they have been kept too fat from a very young age possibly fed immorally and as a results by the time they are three or four their legs and joints are knackered and breathing damaged beyond repair making them useless as ridden ponies

I‘d not realised. Ignorance is bliss. Poor ponies. Always amazed by how poorly certain people choose to ‘care’ for animals that bring them prestiage,money etc.

Ok but... Flash is very pony like. He’s presenting like Boggle but, not sure he would ever end up as nice? I also reckon there’s a huge amount of sharpness there. Found another video with a definite head shake of *piss off*


I really like him. Ha.
 
You guys who are routing for Flash are just interested to see what happens! But I think we need to remember Boggle is not really Bog because of me, there was always a good horse in there- it’s in his breeding. It was just lucky I had a weird feeling!
 
Just saw the last one on YouTube, they are terrified of letting go of him, they don't canter into any fence, and I bet he's had them on the floor more than once. That's not a cheeky face imo, it's a troubled one. Stuff going on there that I don't like, and I am sorry, I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. There are so many red flags there I've actually lost count :confused:

I think they canter into the fences in the indoor videos? I can’t remember I’d have to look.

Totally agree and respect the opinions! I will wait to judge until I have the videos I’ve asked for with him without a training aid, and possible sent someone to see him.

Not ruling him out but not in either.

Only one stride of canter into the log thing in the indoor, otherwise it's back to trot and presented in trot. And very little sustained canter on the flat.
 
Having seen the video of him trotting on hard ground I wouldnt touch him with someone elses barge pole. Hes a massive, massive risk. If he was cheap and you fancied a punt then maybe, but by cheap I mean sub 1k. You would potentially be buying a huge issue with soundness and attitude.

You've had bad luck with horses, dont ignore the bright red flags with this one! Dont do it.

I did originally think he was worth a punt at a cheap price, but that trotting on the drive video put him out for me. As I said ^^^ I really did not like his hind end action in that, and I don't think it was just a baby being a baby (which arguably the schooling ones could have been).
 
Well no-one can accuse me of not being biased. :D How about this chappie? I think he could be very marketable once riding nicely and with a few outings under his belt (if he's safe and sound). Could be a keeper though if the breed is your cup of tea.

Argh guys why am I so novicey/stupid that I don’t see an issue with the back end in the trotting up type video. I just see tense, not knowing wtf is going on, probably yanked out of stable in the video.

I dunno I just do not think Bog would have presented any differently. But obviously that’s made me totally biased

In a different life I would be on my way to collect this one. That's a proper fantasy pony right there!

And then bog had soundness issues didnt he? I cant remember the timeline of events exactly, but I do remember the feet issues.
You got lucky with Bog. He came right. He could easily have not come right though. Its why I stopped messing around with really cheap projects. Eventually you get your fingers burned and you get one that doesnt come right.
