I'm looking for a pony that we owned briefly for about 6 months. I just want to know if he is ok and if his problems were ever sorted out.
I bought him on the advice of a friend who recommended him to me as a child's pony. Unfortunately, we believe the seller knew it was a different pony to the one my friend knew and misold me one that completely unsuitable.
He had a lot of issues with being caught and was extremely nervous. He appeared to be either a rig or late cut - there was no vet's signature in the passport to verify that he actually been gelded. He didn't appear to have testicles though but as nobody could catch him he was never examined properly by a vet.
I remember he had a wall eye - maybe two. I think one may have been half blue and half brown. He was still iron grey when we had him but has probably lightened. On closer inspection his passport said he was 18 months old - far from the child's pony I thought I was buying.
He was registered with WPACS and had a very, very Welsh name that nobody knew how to pronounce.
I gave him away to a girl who lived in Rhyl (in 2007?) who took him on as a project. He was later sold to somebody on the wirral?? They wrote to me asking me for 'castration certificate' so they obviously suspected him of being a rig. I did write back to them but I didn't keep their name or address.
I'm just wondering where the little fellow ended up. I have a feeling that he might have ended up being PTS but it would be lovely to know if somebody managed to get him right.
