Oh fab, just caught up with this thread. Brilliant news and how nice to buy off such lovely sounding owners.
Hope your feeling much better soon op, chest infections are awful at the best if times x

Lovely thread and lovely outcome. Can't wait to see pictures. I waited 20 years for my first pony too and was terrified by the whole process. Enjoy your dream and don't worry about the 'omg what have I done' feeling as it sinks in that your new horse is really yours and staying ! I burst into tears when my boy arrived on the yard and the ramp came down as he looked much bigger now he was mine !! We had 8 great years together.

just call! it could be your horse in a lifetime. have a list of things you want to ask so theres no umming and ahing and silences. i would never belittle anyone calling about a horse i was selling, even if it wasnt the horse for them. good luck in your search

Hope you are soon feeling better and so pleased the horse you wanted passed the vetting. I'll bet you can't wait for Saturday. Looking forward to seeing piccies

Congrats on your new horse OP! Love the cat too

I too am in the "too scared to call" group. Don't know what it is about calling people that I dislike so much!

I'm looking for horse #2 and have found a perfect candidate. Have emailed twice with no response, but too scared to call!!

I often get very anxious when phoning and only do it when absoloutly necessary. (even when booking lessons at my yard and I know them very well!) I would strongly reccommend you email them first - just let them know you are interested and ask when a suitable visiting time would be. Then phone them later on. I do this all the time because once I've emailed them and they've replied I know they're not going to bite!

Just remember, if someone is advertising a service or in your case, a horse and they leave their number avaliable, they obviously want you to call, otherwise they wouldn't put it there. As long as they know you aren't going to try and rip them off or waste their time, they will be more than happy to help.

this!! just like they have a number so they want you to call, surely if they leave an email address you would hope that they would reply! I have emailed, text and even tried calling too - eventually, but still no response. very frustrating
at what point do you become a 'stalker' ?

anyway, Serianas - he is beautiful! good luck to you both x
