Summer...ID bought unseen from Ireland...

[catembi]

...arrived at 8 am! Unfortunately I had to start work at 8.30, so time for a quick pat & then rapid departure. It is definitely the horse in the video, so that's a good start! Hoping to go back after work & have a longer hello.

I have some not particularly good photos if someone can tell me how to post them. I used to be able to do it from photobucket. now all I can do is save them to OneDrive, then do a link, but I don't think some people can see them if I do that...?

 

[Red-1]

I think you can put them to 'public' on facebook and do it that way?

 

[kimberleigh]

Exciting! I have downloaded the 'Imgur' app to put pics on here as I used to use photobucket as well easily enough but lost all details etc. It is very simple luckily as Im useless as techy things 🙈

 

[milliepops]

Ooh exciting! You must be itching to get back.

Yep you can link from FB, they don't have to be public photos. Open the photo to full size in facebook, right click, copy image address and then paste between IMG tags.

 

[Floxie]

Hooray! I'd have pulled a sickie

 

[L&M]

Was she the one through Gerty?! If so I was very taken and sorely tempted. Gerty has a very good reputation, and although every part of me screams 'don't buy unseen', she is the only person I may take the risk in the future with.

Good luck as she looked super from her sales video.

Yes, the one from Gerty! This one! https://www.irishsportequine.com/product/summer-lovely-purebred-irish-draught

I wasn't having much luck sourcing my own horse, so I thought, what the hell! Yay, back to Proper Riding! Going up later to see if she will squeeze into Trev's saddle until I can get another one. Then lesson 8.30 tomo. Haha, I'm back in the game

I'm so excited for you. Dying to see pictures:biggrin4:

you dont need to have them as public on facebook, just copy the image location and post it here with

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Facebook: open picture by clicking on it. Right click, copy. Post between these (no spaces)

 

[Chinchilla]

Ooh congratulations! Very exciting!

 

[catembi]

Okaaaaaay, here we go... They are not very good as taken in haste over stable door as I needed to get home & get logged into work. Don't think there would have been much point in pulling a sickie - it's so jolly hot that I might as well be inside working! Just seen my bank balance after paying for her & paying for a month's full livery...! So I think I need to try not to annoy work for a bit! Livery should only be the one month though (famous last words...) as the house should be ready before them. Better pictures will follow when I've been up this evening.

looking pretty good for a horse just arrived in a new place can't wait to hear more about her as you get to know each other.

 

[twiggy2]

Kept popping in in the hope of photos, she looks lovely.

 

[Red-1]

Wow, she looks even better than on the advert! So settled straight away.

 

[alwaysbroke]

Ah lovely so pleased for you, regular updates please ,

 

[dixie]

Lovely - will be great to hear how she goes.
I was looking at her advert the other day plus also loved Our Hero - was sorely tempted but I'm trying to keep local at the moment.
Do you think she looks the correct height - I think they always look a bit small than stated on the advert.

 

[Sprout]

Glad she has arrived safely - hope she gives you lots of fun. X

 

[catembi]

Yes, I agree - they do tend to look smaller than stated. I was quite interested in Dancer, and can ride a smaller horse being small & light, but he did look more pony-sized.

She was sold as 16.1 and I would say that she's at least 16hh. Both Trev & Adrian were 16.1. I will see if there's a stick about later & have a measure!

 

[Apercrumbie]

She looks very calm and I like her back! Can't wait to see how you both get on.

 

[Pearlsasinger]

She looks very settled! That bodes well for the future!

 

[JackJill]

She looks lovely! We bought a pony from Gerty. Lovely pony but barely 138 when we had bought a 148, fortunately he grew to 14hh so it wasn’t too bad. He was much greener than advertised but has turned in to a cracking pony!! Hope she turns out well as you do deserve some luck!

 

[jedjelly]

She looks super, really looking forward to your updates, if you don't mind. Summer could be a great advert for Gerty (and you of course)
. I often have a browse of her adverts and seen so many I like the look of. Been a scardy cat to buy unseen, but Summer may well sway me! Wish you all the best with her.

 

[Tiddlypom]

OP, she looks lovely, I wish you well.

For those thinking of buying from the same dealer, best do a search on her on here first . Experiences are mixed.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Glad she has arrived safe and well. Lovely dapples.

I think I would have asked for the afternoon off at least or morning! Anyway I hope she is everything you want and more.

 

[Mule]

She's lovely. She looks really settled too. Congrats

 

[catembi]

Went up to see her after work to see if she could squeeze into Trev’s tack! She is super chilled. Lesson at 8.15 tomorrow, yay!

 

[Bernster]

Haha glad she’s the same horse! She looks nicer in those pics actually. Have lots of fun and look forward to updates.

 

[Fiona]

She looks gorgeous...

Best of luck with her x x
