Hi all, I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I also saw many red flags but was very much liking the stamp of pony / horse. The size and price tag ended my interest.
Lovely horse ?

In my younger days I would of got on once I had layed over it etc but the lunge pictures it looks flighty if you see what I mean maybe there just to scared to get on as it throws a few shapes lol probs not best if a nervous rider did get on

Very attractive pony but those hind legs are potential trouble. Very sickle hocked and light of bone generally.

Agree, initial alarm bells ringing, mainly due to age, but then wondering if the advertisers are doing the horse a disservice by advertising with dummy rider etc, as it’s made us all question and look really closely- possibly too closely? Just musing as would go off gut feeling/ initial reaction. Lovely stamp though.

There was another 8 year old for sale of the same seller with the same dummy the lady was older and trainer was too heavy to get on they said

That would make sense- writing that in the ad may help methinks.

I saw that the advertisement is still on the horse selling page a few days ago

I do, I thought the same but wasn't sure whether I was being daft. If I was going to sit on something for the first time I'd want it so laid back on the lunge it was almost horizontal. I didn't think it boded terribly well for an easy family pony.

I think its because the owner is too heavy maybe? She is just wanting to break him in and not back him. That's my impression. I know someone years ago who also used a dummy rider as she was too big for the pony too.
