I bought a lovely youngster last November with the intention of bringing him on slowly and having some fun, it quickly transpired that he was going to be way too much pony for me and completely wasted, so I have held my hands up and admitted that I am just not experienced enough to work through any issues and sadly the pony knew that he had total control over me, as much as I tried to put him back in line he quite happily fought back! he has been turned away for the winter and fed up so has become a stunning young man, so I have now sold him onto a lovely home, Lady totally understands him and I am really excited to see what he becomes. Cannot help feeling I have failed him and myself and am left feeling really low, its really knocked my confidence, I have purchased a lovely Dales X, who is 12 and ready to go, been out and seen the world and is just what I need, if somehow this goes pear shaped I am going to give up and just have a field full of mini's! just need to get chanting, firm but kind, firm but kind! I am determined to do everything right with this one and make sure I have the full support of as many people as I can. I do miss the youngster so so much, for all his bargy stroppiness he was the one that always came cantering to the gate to see me neighing his head off. no reason for the post really, just wanted to offload
