How much would you have as the max. weight it could carry?

[Cliqmo]

Very sweet looking!! Weight is tricky because he's young and fine boned... I would say probably 8st or maybe 9st of balanced rider?

 

[competitiondiva]

God I don't know about pony weights, he's quite fine so I wouldn't want to overdo it. But He's lush.xxx

 

[Persephone]

Really like him and priced fairly IMO!

I wouldn't want to put more than 9 stone on him tbh.

 

[rara007]

9.5 stone

For short periods (Warming up long lining etc.) just W+T for no more than 15 mins?

 

[Persephone]

You? I think your riding always looks really nicely balanced. I can't see that being a problem tbh. These little ones are fundamentally built for it!

You thinking of indulging?

 

[3Beasties]

I think you would be fine on him. I would put up to 9 stone on Millie and she is only 12hh.

He will match the rest of your driving ponies really well, Is that what you are hoping to do with him?

 

[rara007]

The deposit is payed

Not sure how balanced I am, but I'm very used to riding a selection of 13.1-13.3 similar ponies if that makes a difference

 

[rara007]

Hopfully- If he turns out quiet I can sell him to my sister, or if he is mad Dad will have him. Even if he doesn't match I'm hoping to compete him through the indoor season as Pip isn't doing indoors this year, and then sell on. If it moves as well as it looks and is straightfowards there might be a Pip looking for a home

TBH I'm sure we can find a use for him

If he doesn't like driving I'll get him out and about riding and sell him on.

 

[Persephone]

Woohoo! Lovely, looks like a nice person!

Honestly I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it, the pics I have seen of you schooling and doing tests you look like a really nice thoughtful rider. It'sll be fine.

He'll be better off with you than an 8 stone novice won't he?

(Thats not a rhetorical question by the way!)

When do you get him? Waiting for vet?

 

[tabithakat64]

He's carry ten stone of balanced rider when fit, I would think

Looks a lovely type, you'll have to post lots of pics

 

[rara007]

Sunday

No vetting

Or even viewing

 

[Persephone]

Fantastic!

Well for that price he has to be worth a risk IMO. I think he looks like a nice honest pony. You'll have fun with him whatever you end up doing with him!

It's not like you don't know what you're doing with his type is it!

[EventingMad]

He does look like a very sweet little chap!

Ohhh,Where about's in Lincs is he?
If you don't mind me asking!

 

[rara007]

Dunno

Didn't go there, not going there.

Actually I do know, near Skegg Ness.

 

[SunSmile]

Rara its chestnut and its welsh, no brainer!! lol

 

[rara007]

Exactly

My mum was shouting at me for doing it, saying it probably has a bad temperament, but I pointed out it is unlikely to be as nervous as Fred, Cheeky/Naughty as Brook, Unpredictable as Pip or Fizzy as Rory and she decided I had a point.

 

[rara007]

Its actually only a PB, with a show pony Dad, but I think it is a litte like Pip, but with the looks of Brook, which I have always said would be my ideal pony.

 

[Persephone]

Lol, no I don't think so. He'll be a smasher!

We can expect pics on Sunday then?

x

 

[SunSmile]

He looks lovely! Good luck with him and remember we need piccies when you get him!

 

[rara007]

Obvioulsy you'll have too many pictures.

I've never not had enough pictures have I

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Ooh fantastic! I always like looking at the photos of your little team. I think he'll fit right in

Name? x

 

[rara007]

Tally, But I want to re-name Barry, but that is bad luck so not sure

 

[EventingMad]

Ahh righty,SkegVegas! hehe

Just wondering that's not far from me at all either!

 

[3Beasties]

I like the name Tally!

 

[rara007]

How unlucky for you

The others came from near Gratham (I think, that is a place!)
