Very good, but there's a huge difference between jumping one jump at that height and a course. My little cobby grade A, about 14.3hh in his socks, jumped 1.30 courses and that's about 4 foot 2 ins.

It's a good story though, the OP should think about pitching it to Channel 5!
 
See some posts by OP have been deleted!!!!

I was wondering when Bex turned into I!!!!!

Troll:rolleyes:

BaublesBW - Does your pony drink red bull?:D:D Flying pony.
 
Oh damn! We'll never get to hear that Bex finds out where the pony is and, on hearing her sad story, the new owners give the pony back to her. Next she is talent spotted by Rob Hoekstra and is picked for the Olympics where she secures the only clear round to win gold for Britain!

Seeing her success, the 'farther' mends his ways and is reunited with his daughter.

The End.

That is a lovely end.
 
None of us are disputing the fact ponies can jump that height, it's the whole 'story' we are raising our eyebrows to!!!!!

SO true! I find it amusing when people say their horse can jump so and so heigh - yeah they probably jumped that ONCE. lol. I used to jump my little 13.2hh native pony over 4ft regularily but only at home, we'd only do about 2'6 in competition...!

agreed. most fit and healthy horses can jump a single fence that height.
 
Well done for getting the auctioneer to accept the bid in the first instance. Most insist that you have a number before-hand. So to be an obvious child & no number would have invalidated the sale. Which sale was this?
 
wow how harsh are people on this forum !!!

Why dont you give her some advice, instead of saying the poster is telling stories !!
 
I hope this isnt a troll, seeing as i was called a troll earlier and its really horrible to be accused of telling lies. If it isnt i hope your friend is okay and that she manages to solve her problems

BUT it doesnt sound exactly plausable, besides the whole hospital/court (im certain her father would not have been allowed contact with his daughter and would not have had a claim of the cost of the horse in a prosecution of child abuse anyway) at every auction regarding livestock ive been to (not many i will admit, but a few, and definitely euine ones) you have to have a number before you bid, and if you are a troll, however much enjoyment you get out of this, just spare a thought for those who are being totally honest who get negative feedback because of your actions. its hardly fair! why not take up a constructive hobby instead?

Well she would have been to young to buy at auction.

And there was some reason that my name is on all of our horses passports even my daughters ponies, i must have been told by someone she was to young to be named as owner.

I regularly bid at the old Southall Market, Middlesex and had my bids accepted from the age of eleven onwards - but all us oldies looked like men just after we were born!

My first purchase was a coloured pony going for meat that I bought for £12 - that was a lot of money for an eleven year old then; however; I knew that I could sell "Sugar" on and had £15 by then end of the day - back in those days you couldn't earn £3 working a week down a coal mine!

My daughter's second pony "Baggins" 14HH used to jump nearly five foot and was built like the proverbial brick outhouse.

Back to the post theme: I am a fairly peculiar parent in that once I gave my children anything - it was theirs to do as they wished - I hoped the upbringing would work! I referred many people wanting to buy "Baggins" directly to my daughter despite her being very young.

Some parents aren't the same and the difficulty the "friend" will have is proving that the original purchase was truly gifted to her - despite the criminal charges - the law is likely to regard chatels of a minor to be wholly owned by the parent regardless.
