Please help me buy a horse, I'm clueless!

I'd say Trooooll too but you never know!! When I was 18 I worked as a nanny for the summer after school for a clueless townie family with faaaaaar more money than sense, they were recent additions to the country set after moving down from London and having bought a small georgian estate. They had bought a top show pony for their 11yr old daughter who had had a few lessons, the pony was a little ****** I have to say although very pretty but knew exactly how to ditch his rider and take the piss. The child was terrified of horses and really didn't like them at all, if anything she needed an ancient plod that had been there done it all - the mother wanted the status, the image and the pony with the pedigree, show record and top price tag and to go to pony club do's with her friends as it seemed to be the done thing in her area as well as discussing how to aim their daughters at William and Harry - so this could be plausable sadly!!!!!

I know that we are all laughing but this seriously did happen to me when i was selling a childs pony several years ago.

Clueless Nanny turned up on Good Friday at 8am (i was going to in-laws) but she'd insisted that she had to see pony asap. She brought her own child, who had never ridden, no gloves, hat, boots! Watched my daughter ride, sat her daughter on for 30 second lead round, Said that pony had 'a very pretty face & that they'd have it' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They did send a YO up two days later who did ride pony. Had it 5 stage vetted, quibbled about a pair of front shoes.

As it was being loaded i was informed who it was for. Well known pop stars children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh i missed a tick there.

And you let a bunch of clueless 'could be anyones' take your pony simply because they could afford it? Nice.
