I had a conversation with a girl the other day and she said that my loan pony was for sale before we had her and its got me thinking about how much she may be for sale for if she does become for sale and was wondering what others felt a good price for her would be? The owner has never told me that she was previously for sale or has she said that she would be sold at any point but after the girl saying that im kind of worried! Im not in the position at the moment to afford to keep her until a good few months yet, even then I wouldnt be looking to buy one as I love our loan pony and we would want to stay with her, but if the worst comes to the worse my sister has said she would take her on until im able to as it really would devestate my daughter if she was to be sold on. Obviously I know thats the risk you take when loaning but we didnt go in knowing she would be sold or has the owner ever gave me the impression this will happy but as I said what the girl said got me thinking!
Her info is as follows:
12.2hh 8 yr old chestnut Welsh B mare. Was broken at 6 yrs old and I believe she done some time in a riding school and then taken out of there and was left until we started loaning her a month ago. She has a great temp and very gentle etc on the ground. She lacks some confidence when ridden, both on and off the lead rein, but is getting better every day as we ride her and spend time with her. She doesnt do any thing such as buck or bolt but you can hear her breathing changing a bit when she thinks some things going to eat her! I dont believe shes been jumped as she was very reluctent to go over a pole on the ground but again I spent that time teaching her every thing was ok and it was just a pole and not a pony eating monster lol! Shes quite green off the lead rein and if she could just stand there and not work she would, like many ponies!, but she is a total sweet heart and we love her loads Ive been spending a lot of time with her getting her used to the more scary things and shes getting better and better, I think its more of a case of she hasnt done a lot in that sense and its just normal things you would do with any young horse, just happens to be later on then most. I wouldnt say shes worth a lot but to us shes priceless kind of thing so I dont know what to think!
Thank you
