Thank you, shes a sweetie so I hope she settles with my other 2, although they all used to graze together a few yrs ago so already know each other lol x
 
Do I have to stamp my feet and tell everyone I think my children are too heavy to ride her to get some attention around here now a days?














Just kidding, ****** you if you don't like my new pony lol

What, your 20 stone children?

She's lovely. Why was she off work for so long?
 
25 Stone each, all 3 want to ride her at the same time, sure she will cope, going to stick a 20" saddle on to make sure they have a bit of room......

Think the owners children lost interest.

She looks very sweet.

I would start work sooner if there was nothing physical stopping her coming back into work. There would be a gradual build up anyway.

Nothing physical but she has to be sectioned off from rest of the yard for 2 weeks so giving her that time to settle in with just in hand work in the field and then starting her with lunging etc, she will need measured for a saddle anyway as she doesnt have one plus will have most likely changed shape from last time she was worked.
 
What a pretty mare! I assume you know some of her history if she used to graze with yours? Be interested (OK, I'm nosey!) to know more about her and why you decided on impulse to buy her! ;)
 
Thank you, I think shes very sweet and pretty.

I was offered her a while ago but I had not long had my DS & we were selling our house and moving out the area and I wouldnt have the time for 3, my oldest DD has outgrown our little pony totally and we had planned to start looking after summer for something, I was offered her again and decided now my son is older I would actually have more time to give as hes happy pottering around the yard or at home with daddy while the girls and I go to the yard.
I am not sure of the exact reason they are selling up their ponies but I know they wanted good homes for them all and have held out till they got them.
I know shes done a little of this and that and been a broody at some stage too. Shes going to be a family pony and spend the rest of her days being groomed and pampered and having fun.
