No point in having ugly ponies if you have to look at them every day

Hi, EKW, they are lovely. Out of interest, not trying to start a "too big etc...." argument, what size is the rider on Pips?

There isn't a rider on Ranger
It would be Pips lol! And I'm 5ft4" and just under 10stone.

Thanks. I ask because I get on my Shettie cross couple of times a month and I'm about the same size. She enjoys being ridden, makes a change from driving but find it's good practice for the core muscles as I feel so unbalanced on her.

BlackShadow, you've just missed Reading's annual sale (today) but the catalogue's worth a look as there's some really nice ones.

Our lil shettie Gilda ... all washed and dressed and ready for her big debut as my daughter's 3rd Birthday present!
Gilda quite at home, if a little small, in her luxury stable!
She's a Blenheim pony and as good as gold. Only 6 yrs old but an absolute saint on all fronts. Couldn't have asked for more. My daughter rides her and I drive her. She has a home for life with us.

I was at the Reading sales today. The market really is poor unless they are something very special. Colt foals going for less than their registration fees. However, a lovely Kerswell stallion sold for 2065 guineas!

are shetlands not expensive at sales?

It entirely depends. As I say, you had colts fetching 60 or so guineas. Fillies of average breeding not much over 100. Lots not selling due to not reaching reserves. Only a small quantity reached over 300 and sold for that. Apparently in Carlisle sales, they were going for little over 30 guineas...

That's so sad, I looked up last year's prices and they looked o.k. Did you buy anything?

The couple I went with bought a new addition for their stud. She is beautiful!

Shetlands rarely go for more than meat money unless they are particularly good ones.
