I would really, really love to give a home to a rescued pony or horse! You see, we're getting a horse share next year!!!! -so, so, so excited!-
Anyways, I'd prefer to buy/adopt from a rescue centre than get a previously loved pony, but seeing as this would be a first horse... (my mum's had ponies before, though, and I've ridden for years) I'd need it to be pretty chilled out. I'm going to walk down to the mounted police stables tomorrow and nag them x3 Ex-police horses are gorgeous. They get free vet service, too! But sometimes rescue ponies can be unpredictable and have uncurable problems, which I don't think we could cope with on a financial level
Buuut... Do you know of any rescue centres that adopt out their ponies within a couple of hour's drive from bristol? I'd rather full adoption then loan, I've always been uneasy about it. -shrugs- My friend had her loan pony sold by the owners, and she didn't even get a look-in...
Yep, I'm a veggie and all that. And I'm pretty patient and don't mind hours and hours of work in the pouring rain if that's what's required! I'm just not sure if a rescue pony is suitable or not...
