This one looks like a good sort, why the low price? No mention of age...

And another DD thread descends into horses we'd like to buy. It's like a guilty addiction.

I've had two off DD, and they might not be my last...

The first was probably the most pathetic specimen ever advertised on there - a starved, wormy, louse-ridden yearling filly covered in scars and open sores. Of course she was also broken in and shod.

She is now a stunning 3 year old who attracts admiring comments from everyone who sees her.

The other was a 14hh mule mare, supposedly 8 years old and broken to ride and drive.
She wasn't in bad condition, but terrified of everything. She DEFINITELY wasn't ride and drive, and at least twice that age, but I could tell all that when I went to see her and I couldn't leave without her.

She is still a work in progress, but I have high hopes for her!

I would really like to see some before & after pictures if you have any please. Some look so poor in the ads, it is amazing to see the transformation that food, care & attention can make.

Just a novice question as I cannot for the life of me find any information online; Can you show piebald shetlands at shows, ie, ridden or inhand?

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Yes. The Shetland society have separate classes for them.

Oh right but you can't do general shetland classes like with bays and chestnuts?

wow!

I know - problem is I suspect someone will pay more than she's worth as a sympathy sale.

I've seen coloured Shetlands at quite a few shows in with bays, chestnuts etc.. but they havent come very far up the placings - of course that could be just to do with the conformation of the pony rather than the colour

i brought this ponyfrom dd.

pic day i collected her in early april 2012

note the amazing feet...

pic taken last weekend....

shes gone from a pony you couldn't get near as was scared of everyone...to a pony who will walk up to me in a 9 acre field and is a sweetie...though feet and leg touching are still a major trauma for her.
