Well my friend Sharnie is selling her pony, heidi, and the girl who was here yesterday came again today with an "expert" to advise her. A man called "Steven" shall we say. He asked to see what Heidi was like on a hack so i said okay then do you want a horse to ride with us? He said yes so i started explaining all the different horses he could have.
Polly - "well shes a bit too mall i should think but very nice.
Phoenix - "shes lovely, very well schooled"
Scribbles "well hes just crazy, ha!"
He asked for Scribbles so I thought "OK then, bring it on" and tacked him up for steven whulst he asked me questions about him. Whilst we were on the hack I discovered he was the judge at a summer show i used to compete at and he said he recognised my ponys name when i told him. But anyway, he cantered scribbles through the field, and he pulls like a b!tch im telling you. then stopped him and said
"why is he lame?"
errm..he wasnt lame when i brought him in so he must of just done it now. H e then proceeded to tell me my horse was a "bag of sh!t" and he wouldnt pay so much as £1 for him. He also couldnt believe I got him for £200, and claimed he was worth less.
I have literally put my blood, sweat and tears into him since i got him 18 months ago. You couldnt do A thing with him as he would just rear up full height, now he can be schooled in a snaffle and hasnt reared for about a year now. I couldn't believe it, this man was coming to see heidi, not criticize me and my horse.
The revenge is that my mam announced today she had been saving up some money, and is going to give me £100 a month to keep him!! [he was previously for sale] I am soo happy and I know that he will be competing by next summer, we are actually going to a small SJ on Thursday. My aim for us now is to compete over the summer at some local shows...including the one Steven judges! I know we can do it and I am prepared to bleed, sweat, and cry as much as it takes for me to prove everybody wrong.
The last thing Steven said to me before he went was. "I would cut your losses and send him to the slaughter house now"
We'll see.
