Somebody begin with the negatives that I cannot see at the moment and talk me out of even contacting the seller..

 

[Blazingsaddles]

What are your plans for him?

 

[Goldenstar]

Do you have the facilities for a stallion .
He does look cute but lots of horses do.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

His cheeky face! One of the sparkle sisters does dressage on a little Welsh pony I think. Its just lovely ?

Life is short; buy the pony!

Thank you, this is the sort of stuff I'm needing ??

 

[ester]

why don't people wait for their horses to dry before taking photos?
Get a confo pic first.

 

[Lintel]

What are your plans for him?

The plan is not to get him.... ?
I do not need another right now, I do however have WHW on the look out for any suitable ridden/potential ridden at the moment. I know eventually I will need to PTS my WHW companion and don't want to be leaving the Hipo on his own. My experience with them has been so positive I would love to take on another from them, but can't help but look at others!

Why is he unbroken at five?

Why is he meat money in a market that is on fire?

Be very cautious!

[ycbm]

I'm close, I can view him for you if you want ?

[aajk]

That wild Welsh eye turns me off right away! ?

My fleeting thoughts exactly... but could be a real diamond in the rough and would tick my "dream" colour+breed boxes for sure.
Thank you YBCM, that's really kind of you.. and very tempting considering I'm 4 hours away.

It's the wild Welsh eye I've been after all my life.. would be a perfect contrast to my loving Hipo's eyes!

 

[planete]

You do not really want this evil eyed black devil do you?

 

[AdorableAlice]

There will be a reason he is £500, possibly starting at the length of the front pasterns. The pictures are creative and excellent at hiding the conformation.

If it seems to good to be true - it normally is !

I’m a HiPo girl too, going to view one tomorrow actually! I’ve had Welshies previously and am quite happy with a quieter more dependable pony nowadays ? I was considering a D a while back but I think I’d have regretted it.

Life is short, get the pony if you like him ?

I knew I could rely on you AA for some poor confo critique, keep going, these are the thing I really I need to consider!

I mean it. £500 is worth a punt.

I can't, the photos show next to nothing, I also don't like his eye.

I'm not liking the hind legs either - looks too straight but hard to tell with that strategically placed step in the way.

An unlicensed, unbroken stallion is unlikely to be a true bargain. If he's been used for breeding he will not be an easy to keep pony. I'm sure if you wait a few months there will be lots of true bargains available when people realise how difficult it is to keep their "pet" ponies through a tough, expensive winter. We're heading for a deep recession, there will be a lot of ponies for sale.

 

[ycbm]

An unregistered, unbroken stallion is unlikely to be a true bargain. If he's been used for breeding he will not be an easy to keep pony..

My five year old was an unregistered unbroken stallion when I bought him at two. He has seven two year old offspring. He was the easiest soul to manage and back, though I did get him a lot younger than this one, of course. .

[aajk]

Would anyone mind having a look at an advert for me whilst we’re talking about confo?

 

[PSD]

I know this stallion.

Edited - I will pm you OP

Yep, I agree, some stallions are lovely. I doubt the lovely ones are for sale for £500. Unless i knew the pony well I wouldn't take one on, especially with potentially dodgy conformation.

 

[PSD]

OP I have PM’d you.

 

[Lintel]

Thank you all for your input, on realistic consideration its not going to be fair on the Hipo or his chum to introduce a potentially dynamic shaking stallion... however handsome he may be!

look like he’s bending in the photo, hard to tell

 

[Muckymummy]

I can't, the photos show next to nothing, I also don't like his eye.

Same I can't stand that kind of eye. I've never had any luck with a weird eye tbh

Don't know what the problem is here, it's only the direction he is looking. His eye is normal in the other picture.

Not that I have room to talk having bought a bargain basement project pony to break this summer from preloved last weekend.
