Had someone come to view a pony im advertising for loan. The advert clearly states confident rider needed as still green. Spoke to lady on the phone and we laughed about my past viewings (you know the ones, ''my daughters is an amazing rider and she has her own ponies. She needs a pony to match her own talents'' and turns out she has a retired shetland and has had 3 lessons 2 years ago)

Lady put my mind at rest and said daughter is actually a decent rider and her pony is injured and needs something to go straight in to PC.

Anyway, turns up, typical PC mum. daughter gets on and within 10 mins she gets off crying saying she hates him. When she asked for trot, pony went in to trot and daughter put her hands in the air and falls behind saddle so pony returns back to walk, clearly confused as to why hes getting extreame mixed siginals. This continues for a further 5 mins before we agree its not going to work. Cue mum saying (the cheek!) Oh he needs a confident rider doesnt he, hes still a bit babyish! ARGH! *bangs head on table*

Pony was fantastic, didnt get nervy about having his mouth pulled about and didnt get put off by such an unbalanced rider. Very proud of him. Onwards and upwards as they say. Im still giggling to myself...

Wow...some people!!

I went along to a viewing with my friend (someone was there to see her horse)
The guy said his daughter was 15 and a very good rider.

She turned up and looked the right age and seemed to be confident around the horse.
However, the guy let it slip his daughter was actually just turning 12!! She was also just learning to canter! What?!

My friends horse was very good, but put in a little buck of excitement, which nearly had the girl off. The horse is NOT a novice ride and if allowed, she would easily slip back into her old habits of bronc style bucks and straight up rears!


I hope you get it sorted and find the right people for your horse :)
 
Its was just so wierd lol. She made me believe she was perfect and she was the worst of the lot!

I still keep laughing to myself, its just so odd.
