For 3 years, We have been back and forth to Scotland looking for a county std Highland pony mare, or a cracking col. Sadly we were shown some aweful examples, that were not county standard at all, a five year old mare, riding school type large head, nothing about it at all £8,000 well we almost fainted, but the RDA pay this for them because they need large ponies, and these ponies are very short in supply.
We travelled to many studs to hear, well I don't really know if I want to sell her. I have two other buyers interested and the pony will be gone in a few days... and they usually were.
They have rose tinted glasses thats for sure and they think we have deep pockets or we are stupid..
So where are all the county standard Highland Ponies?
Well, after going to the South of England show, saw a pony with the confirmation we want and they found him in Horse & Hound.
A stud in Surrey, and they had just what we wanted right under our noses. could have saved about £1500 on travelling and B & B oooh
How did we miss that!!! pays to read more thoroughly!!!!
