Pig Ugly Horses?

I wanted an overgrown black arab (aye alright, I was young!) and bought a HW hairy piebald because I fell in love with him. My mother thought he was an ugly sod when we bought him, now she thinks he's the most beautiful thing in the world. How she couldn't see it in him to start with, I'll never know. Love does grow - but it's a big gamble to buy a horse you aren't sold on (in any way - personality or looks) before you fall in love with it.

Pretty much my story! Mother didn't like Ned either to begin with, but he decided he loved her and she couldn't help but return the favour. I wouldn't have said no to a fancy black arab either ;P
 
Could I jump in here and make a suggestion?

OP, why not let us have a pic and we can decide for ourselves if he's as ugly as you say.

Personally, there's never been an ugly Dunn in my mind ( but am a bit biased on this one) so I'm sure I'll think he's gorgeous whatever he looks like.

I love a dun, too, although I have seen an ugly one. Looked like a Fjord crossed with a Przewalski - but his owner thought he was the most beautiful thing in the world!
 
JFTD can't be all that crazy .... Like me she's a highland fan, which makes us both a bit nuts I guess. But we're getting off the point here. Would love to see this horse, just out of curiosity.....
 
Love how on every thread there's usually at least one person going on about proper English, here's an idea... get a life :)


That would be me, I definitely wasn't going on about proper English, I was remarking that THERE WERE SOME WORDS MISSING THAT WERE REQUIRED IN THE SENTENCE.

Would say important ...... Don't think? :)

That's what you think :D

'scuse me, I need to go and check my littler highland is still where I left him and hasn't made a bid for freedom.
 
haha no problem your ones were making me laugh:p

Oh well, in that case, would you like to join the 'proper ol' english' crew? Gin?
Just to add, Billie, I'm NOT taking the micky out of you!! I promise, i'm just having a laugh! :o

Oh sorry, don't mind me, I'm just chewing the heads off of bunnies and making iced lollies from the brains of the OP...


:D

As you do ma'am :D
 
I seem to have found my dream horse but have a huge problem..he is pig ugly. A face that only a mother could love and he is a dunn :( What would you do? Go with the prospect or hold out for looks as well as ability?

Well if you are no looker you will just look fine. So go for it.
 
Can I see a pic of butt-ugly neddy so I can see what he looks like? I'm imagining a scraggy palomino with a scrawny neck like the one I used to ride at a riding school when I was a kid lol
