I have just found the most delightful coblet known to man- the problem is he's 3yo and only 13h.
He's bay with white legs so cant do coloured classes....
He has 10 inches of bone and mane to his chest and a real leg at each corner. I would love to have him as a project.
I'm in love but need a reality check- what the H*** can I do with him? I'm 5"5 and weigh 17 stone!!
I could see me driving him for a bit of fun, and he would be easily able to cope with a teenager or small adult (but I don't have any of these to hand!)
Are there any classes for this sort???
 
You could drive him but I would have thought that is it with the combination of his size and your weight. There are plenty of nice horses out there, why not keep looking for a while if you want something that gives your more options with what to do with it.
 
That what I want to know Mrogers, I've only done M and M showing in the past. Do they divide the ponies by size, type ect??
My sensible head says walk away and find a big cob to play with, but the pony lover in me wont listen...
 
Does he possibly have enough white to qualify as coloured? is it to do with the amount of white above the knees and hocks...?? he may not be ruled out but I do not know the criteria

If he doesnt qualify I think your options are limited
 
Definitely not enough white to be shown as a coloured. 3 white socks and a blaze.
Its such a shame as he is a little showman type and so handsome with nice straight action.
I fear if I brought him on for driving, a certain fraternity on the DD will want him for flashing.
Why cant we have Mini Cobs aswell as Maxi ones??
 
aww I was hoping when you said white legs they would be largely white

As he gets older more doors will open from a local showing point of view such as family pony etc
He will officially be four from January so too old for most local youngstock classes

Its an awkward age for a pony that doesnt fit neatly in to one category sadly
