High upon a hillside
Quite probably, if he is trustworthy, straightforward and capable of taking a novice
Plus he has a lovely face!
Mind you, I'm sure there are some diamonds in the rough out there that are just as good for that kind of level of competing.

He does look lovely..
If he is suitable for a novice and a snaffle in all disciplines, then a horse like that is worth its weight in gold

A little pricey for his size but if he lives up to the advert then he is probably worth pushing the boat out for.

If he is what it says in the ad and there is nothing they've neglected to mention then I don't see why not. Sounds like a cracking little chap

Lovely little pony. If he is as good as he sounds he's worth his weight in gold.

No this is our pony
just curious why our pony was so cheap, we paid about £1700 i think from memory earlier this year he was jumping 1.10m with the previous owner, my daughter hasnt reached that level yet, wont be long though as she did go through a stage of fear of heights but thats has seems to have gone since our holiday.

ponies like that are like gold dust., and Im sure someone will pay that for their little darling........ personally I wouldnt pay that, but then I think kids should learn to ride on naughty cheeky ponies (gives em stickability!!), not ones that never put a foot wrong!!

If I had a child needing a pony then I would pay that as by the sounds of it, it is an absolute safe poppet.

[/ QUOTE ] Has your pony got the similar level of experience and competition results that the one in the ad has got - has it done Pony Club, been on lots of Pony Club teams, competed successfully in dressage, showing, showjumping and cross-country competitions etc? That is what pushes up the price.

Just checked your posting history, you wouldn't be trying to promote Equine Trader through this forum would you?

If the pony is the perfect one for you, and within budget, then i dont think it matters what price. But he sounds really sweet, a real genuine pony.

Maybe worth it for the right person now...... but age and size are both really a little against him for resale value in a few years time.
I wouldnt pay it personally

Absolutely - the pony has a very good competition record and that is what you are paying for - it is not just a standard kid's pony.
Small safe competition ponies are worth a fortune and their resale value is still quite good as they age too better than a horse as ponies tend to go on a bit longer!
