opinions please

I think he's gorgeous, got a lovely jump on him, seems like a really good allrounder. But aren't you looking for a horse?

 

[monica987]

nope - im looking for a pony

14.2 - 15hh age 6 - 11 PC alrounder

not a tb

so i thought he fits the bill

 

[Gentle_Warrior]

He is nice

 

[Oaksflight]

In that case I'd say definately go see him, he looks lovely.

 

[jcberry]

they look like honest sellers, and tbh i like the horse alot, and think he would suit you down to the ground, he's definatly worth a look or a phone call

 

[Nic]

Stunning. I'd like him a little more forward going in the dressage test but that could be rider holding him back.

Is that a nose net he is wearing in the vid?

Don't tell SSM but I think he looks like a mini CB

Wow what a pop.

 

[monica987]

i dont think it is a nose net - i did think there was something on it but i dont think there is

 

[Judie]

I think he's a lovely chap, and not that over priced for a honest pony IMO.

 

[monica987]

no - not over priced at all, just a bit over our budget but if he was the 'right one' parents dont mind forking out a bit more

 

[Nic]

Possibly just an over active top lip

 

[monica987]

tehe

probs

 

[seaofdreams]

he looks lovely, i do think he is wearing a nosenet thou you can also see it in one of the pictures
but i do like him, he seems very sweet

 

[monica987]

yep - i did see that when you pointed out it was in a pic - what does a net do and why dies a pony need it?

[Oaksflight]

Helps with headshaking, but he doesn't seem to have it on the other ridden pictures, strange.

 

[monica987]

maybe he has a habit of getting flys in his nose so they use it to keep the flys away

 

[madhector]

he looks like a super pony, would definatly go and see him, he is wearing a nose net though in a couple of the pics, worth asking about, good luck!

 

[Oaksflight]

Ha ha, I'm thinking perhaps its used for something different related to indoor schools, but god knows what? Maybe he rarely headshakes, but they felt better safe than sorry for that dressage test. Either way I'd ring up still and just ask!

 

[patchandloopy]

wow-stunning pony, go for it!!!

 

[merlinsquest]

Beware of the nosenet. Horses rarely wear them for fun or for fashion!!!

There must be a reason and its probably an allergy to something rather than for flies!!!

Stunning horsey though, tending to overbend in the video, but as someone else said, could have been the rider!!

Good luck

 

[helenandshadow]

He seems nice, although he doesn't look very forward going in the video and a bit overbent, and (after having a headshaker

) I would be very wary as to why he is wearing a nosenet. I also think he is slightly overpriced, but then I'm stingy! Worth a look though as long as you're careful.

 

[monica987]

thankies - i agree with you - worried about headshaking and price but we will see - probs wont see it but you know

 

[PinkFairy]

i love him *very jealous* and i love his name!

 

[dieseldog]

I would ask why they stopped jumping him for a year - also they keep emphasing he is for a confident rider to get the best out of him, which makes you think he might stop. Ask why he needs a confident rider

 

[Happy Horse]

I think he is cute and to me it looks like he is making a face with his top lip rather than wearing a nose net.

Nice pony

 

[leanne123]

tbh i don't think hes worth half that price because of the nosenet, give him a couple of months and his head could be shaking all over.
this is the best time of year to sell a head shaker so i would be very careful and maybe ask for a trail if possible.
sorry proberbly not what you wanted to hear.
