Pictures I may have done a thing…buying unseen

[BBP]

I thought you guys might like to see the result of the ‘do I get a 4th’ following the loss of our companion pony. He’s not an Arab, or a TB, or another PRE(x). Or anything ‘my type’. He’s not a riding horse. He’s not an elderly companion.

Oh no. He’s a yearling. He’s from Ireland. He’s a Connemara. And I can’t wait to meet him!!

The cool thing is I have zero expectations. Which means he can be whatever he wants to be when he grows up. If he wants to be an eventer, great. Happy hacker? Cool. Lawnmower? That’s fine too. So I can’t be disappointed with him. I’m having the usual ‘what on earth have I done’ moments, questioning my midlife crisis, but then I look at his little face and think…surely he can’t be as much trouble as BBP??!?

I thought I’d share now even though he’s not quite on my doorstep yet (first load next week), because I’m hoping once he arrives I’ll be too busy enjoying my ponies and will quit messing around on the internet!

 

[BBP]

Oh no! Pictures aren’t loading! Sorry guys!!

 

[Cloball]

Good luck ? have fun!

 

[BBP]

Trying again. BBP and his mini-me! You might see why I liked the little’n, maybe a BBP in a more sensible package?! Hoping his lovely sellers don’t mind me using their photos, I thought they were quite artistic.

[stangs]

Oh he’s lovely - he looks like he’ll grow up to be a right Black Beauty lookalike, with hopefully as good a temperament!

 

[ycbm]

[DabDab]

Ooo, he is very lovely ?

[Sam_J]

He looks lovely! I get the whole 'too busy messing with ponies to be on the internet' thing, but you will at least pop back and update us when he arrives, won't you? Pretty please?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Gorgeous looking chap. Looking forward to lots more pictures.

 

[BBP]

Thanks everyone! I’m very excited to have him join the gang. Currently trying to think of a stable name for him as he doesn’t really have one, and his registered name is entirely uninteresting and unimaginative (apologies to breeder).

 

[Leam_Carrie]

What a handsome boy - so exciting

 

[Surbie]

Oh my he's a stunner.
Wishing you much fun with him.

So handsome!!!! I think he’s going to be a little fire cracker lol is he a Smokey black colour? Looks similar to my wee elvis who’s a flippin nightmare ?

Names will be fun! Can’t wait to hear what you decide.

 

[Peglo]

Such a beauty ?

Smokey black is my guess too. He’s described as chocolate dun (which obviously doesn’t occur in connies but I think is a common description), and vet called him bay. But BBP is smokey black and has the same coffee colour ear fluff, he just has red highlights instead of blonde.

 

[millikins]

Very nice

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Aww he's lovely! Not sure you'll be allowed to stop putting pictures of him up when he arrives! We'll be hoping for lots of updates!

 

[Mrs. Jingle]

Very nice indeed! Good luck with him he is very handsome.

 

[eahotson]

Beautiful.

Now he’s a very sensible (but exciting ) unseen purchase . Congratulations, he’s lovely ?
