YO is putting her Sec A up for sale next week - it's his last chance before she talks to the vet about having him pts. He's only 5 but if he can't kick you he'll bite you
He's about 12hh so he really isn't suitable to go to a child - he has something like sweetitch (vet says it isn't but has all signs of it) and when he gets worked up will just fling himself on the floor. Not good if he's got a child on his back!
He might turn out ok if he was worked regularly, had a very strict routine and a strict person working with him but YO doesn't have the time or the inclination anymore. She's been kicked and bitten enough, and tbh would rather spend her time with nicer horses. She thinks he'd be a good jumping or driving pony.
He's been up for sale and 99% of people wanted him as a first pony (despite ad very clearly saying he wasn't suitable for it) and the other 2 people were dealers who didn't have a good repuation. She doesnt want him passed piller to post and potentially ending up in abusive homes which is why she's talking to the vet about being pts. She doesn't want to dump him on a charity.
So - in my rambling way
is there a market for a potenial show/driving pony with a serious attitude problem? He does have his sweet moments - my little mare is his mum so he's got some good genes in him
but when he's bad he's evil
