I've got a pony on trial for my oldest daughter. Absolutely love it to bits and want to buy. The owners are very laid back about it, said I can have it on trial for as long as I need, and they don't have a clue how much she is worth, just said make an offer! (they are very wealthy, which probably explains the laid back attitude). They won't advertise the pony as they would rather she went to a good home fairly locally where they can keep in touch with her. So I need to make an offer which reflects the fact that I can offer this (ie. not too much money!) but which also is not ridiculously insulting.
The pony is 13hh very cobby type, 16, same home for 12 years, has done a bit of everything with two children, including hunting which is what I mainly want her for. I know several people who vouch for her safety and sensibleness out hunting and I've seen her out myself a couple of times. She is a forward going, fun pony and will probably be able to do 2'6" courses when daughter is ready. But does not appear to have a spook or a nap in her. She stops in a snaffle and has not tanked off. She did buck once the first day we had her. No health problems that I am aware of.
Thoughts appreciated!
