Hey all....
So I need a bit of help. I am thinking of selling my pony....I got her when I was 16, and then parents moved to the States, and now at the age of 21, I have looked into shipping her there, as I am planning on going, but it really is silly expensive...I would need the money from selling her to ship her! I just need opinions on whether she is sellable, and if the amount that I am looking for is anywhere near correct. From the forum, I have had quotes from 2000-4500, so just trying to get more feeling!
To tell you the truth, if anyone had any ideas about what I should do....should I ship her...loan her...or just sell her...I really don't want to get rid of her. Breaks my little heart knowing she is being ridden by someone else, even if she is well loved Guess thats the story of a horse owner!
So, I have never sold a horse before, and need some help. From various websites, including Horse and Hound and Coloured Contacts, I value her at around 4250 including a full wardrobe, 2 saddles etc.
Anyway, she is a 9 year old 14.2hh Tovero CHAPS registered Irish Sports Pony. I bought her as a 3 year old, and have done most things with her. She has done PC/RC, unaff jumping up to 3'3, normally placing consistently. Good to do all with (shoe clip travel). Erm, she is now on loan to a 13 year old girl who has been doing unaff 2'9 courses very well. The girl is quite novice, and pony been totally bombproof. Good in all traffic (used to live on main road), done drag hunting. Got scope to affiliate, can jump up to 1.20 (not with me, lost my nerve ....guess just got old).
She is also so clever....such a cool girl. Really has a great facial expression - if you do something dumb will give you a great stare!! Also likes to turn around and look at you when riding especially if you are being bad!
ANyway, here are some photos..sorry not very good, but they have all disappeared from boyfriends computer and now there are just cars and boats!!!
There you go. Last one was height of summer as a 5 year old looking a little bit tubby! Most schooling ones are in the past year.
I look forward to hearing from you all!
She has had Bog Spavin which has fused through surgcal athrodesis and is now approved to be as good as before with signed surgeons letter. No possible reduction in previous ability as with some top class horses who have the same operation.

I was asking for general opinions on my price and what people thought. This is my first horse that I need to sell, having never done it before and need some guidance so have reposted thread
