[smirnoff_ice]

Well Dolly's been advertised for loan and today i found the perfect loaners!

Hiya,
Where i live is kind of a problem because i live in a little village called ******** but that is about 2hrs 30mins away from you i think and i don't think a pony will travel that far, but i don't know ?

I haven't been riding for years but my granddaughter has been riding since she was 5 years old and now she is 12 years old ,she is 13 this year. and this who the pony is for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what i would do for actives will my granddaughter would pony club, trekking ,walk her around the area so that she would get used to her surrounding area ,then groom her every day about 2 a day i think .Bedtime she would groom the picking the hooves out and all that then tie her up to the stable door while she wet the hay and put water in which wouldn't take very long and then if she has a stable rug if cold she will put that on her .Put her stable lock the stable door and dolly would have a lick hanging .In the morning she would be feed and everything .

What kind of tack does she have and her measurements?
What food does she eat?
What are her favourite treats?


bye bye email me back please

Oh yes definatley a child!

 

[Tangaroo]

Sounds a bit dodgy to me. I would delete it and ignore it! Did you not put a phone number on the advert? I would rather talk to someone over the phone about loaning rather than by email.

 

[smirnoff_ice]

Yep, i put my number on. I nearly wet myself when i first read it!

I think she just wants me to take her to them without them seeing her first!

I really cant imagine any grandmother would write like that!

 

[CastleMouse]

Sorry but PMSL!

 

[arwenplusone]

Lol - yes a child. But I did think it was quite cute!

 

[Janette]

It's a kid who is yearning for a pony............. bless

I remeber feeling like that when I was that age.

 

[smirnoff_ice]

Hilarious isn't it?! I printed it out and read it to my family - very entertaining!!

 

[Hayleycob]

We had a very strange grandmother on our yard for a while, they had a totaly unsuitable pony (far too small, and only just broken !) on loan for the (nervous novice) child who visited every other weekend. Granny couldn't understand why the pony was unmanageable when it only got ridden for 1/2 hour twice every 2 weeks ! That pony went back, but she was looking for another, could be her..................................!

 

[amabelscott]

aww that is so sweet but definitely a child, i think i was like that too

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Just alittle child dieing for a pony, I remember being like that, hope she gets a pony one day. Good luck with finding the perfect loaners X

 

[WeeBrown]

Who knows, some of these grandmothers get younger and younger

 

[smirnoff_ice]

At first i DID believe it was a grandmother, but the more i've read it, i'm reckoning it's a child pretending to be older. Awww.

I've just emailed her back, saying we've found someone now, but good luck finding one for herself.

 

[Keltic]

Oh noooo i must be hormonal!!! that made me sad ahh that poor girl i remember what it was like i lived and breathed horses since i started riding at 4 and got my 1st at 12 and still have them 20+ years on. I feel quite teary!!!! do you think im loosing the plot???
PS i have not been drinking, but feel i need one now!! lol

 

[smirnoff_ice]

HaHa!! Awww, poor you! At first i just thought it was a weirdo and i laughed...a lot!

But now i think it's a desperate child, i feel quite mean and sorry for her.

 

[Donkeymad]

Ahhh bless.

 

[PapaFrita]

Awww, how sweeeet! I used to be like that, but I never had the nerve to answer an ad for a pony... then again, there was no such thing as t'internet when I was a lass

 

[Box_Of_Frogs]

Lou that e-mail was from ME! How dare you suggest it was from a child! I am mortally offended!
