Went to look at 5 welsh ponies today, was mainly going to see a little chestnut colt, got there and very nearly turned around and went home again
It was such a dump, wire and baler twine everywhere, nothing at all to eat in the field, 5 very poor little ponies. The owner showed me a 2 year old grey gelding, I went to say hello to him and he went to bite then kick me, she then chucked her daughter up on him and made him trot around the field, his legs nearly buckled when she got on
Then she showed me the chestnut, he was very sweet, lovely face and markings, a little cow hocked, but is only a yearling so will hopefully improve a bit. Had the nicest nature, and moved like a dream.
She had 2 more greys, one had sarcoids all over its face. The other was the scruffiest looking thing, with a big wormy belly, I'm afraid I fell for his face, and he is put together really nicely, so then I asked to see the passports, and they turned out to both be Hafdre ponies like Spooks
The little chestnut is actually Spooks half brother, so I'm afraid they both came home with me, she was saying how she was going to get her daughter to back the other two yearlings in the next few weeks if they didn't sell
So anyway, I now have two new additions, they ate every scrap of hay in the trailer on the way home poor things and are now tucking into another haynet in the field. No pics, as tbh I dont think I could put up pics of them in this state! Give me a few weeks and hopefully under all that scruff and wormy tummies there are two stunning little ponies waiting to come out
