Well after the fall last week and today (still broken) but determined I got on naughty mare and thought i'd just walk her round the farm, each time we turned a corner which faced the gate off the farm direction she started her skipping sideways, mini rears and generall nappy naughtiness, so after 5 mins and seriously not up to any fight or risk falling again I took her back to stables and told her she'd just signed her own for sale sign - don't think she understood though :D

But seriously I think we are now just not helping each other, i'm not confident enough to give her the confidence she needs and vice versa, it must be me that's causing the problem because she always hacked alone and its only since i've been her main rider (son lost interest) that she's become like she has.

So admitted defeat and window shopping round horsey for sale websites my list of what I want is ;-

15.2hh +, stocky/cobby type.

Under 12 years old

Quite/Bombproof to Hack

Everything else i'm not bothered about mare/gelding, colour/looks, don't need to work in an outline, don't need to jump, don't need to do dressage, just needs to love being loved and hacked once/twice a week.

Can I find anything suitable for under £1500 - Nope :( am I asking too much ?
 
Join the club........when you find one I hope he or she has a sibling!

I have been searching too.I think this type is hard to find unfortunately and I now realise if my pony was sound he would be worth millions!

I did post something similar and the budget for this type could be £1500-£.2.5k

Good luck I know I just want to slow it down a bit...due to falls etc and old age!
 
Why under 12?

I think you'll struggle to get what you want for under £1500 but if you up your upper age limit to 14 or 15 you should have no problems.
 
You should find something at that price. I've been looking for a competition horse and have looked at a number of neds in your price range that would make lovely hacks.
I know a complete gentleman who would do you, he asks before he takes the polo you offer him. If he hadn't failed his vetting for competition horse I would have had him, as it is I've now found an Irish sport horse.
If you are in the SW pm me
 
Indie999 - Good luck in your search too.

Showjumping Superstars - I'd break her back :D

xspiralx - I'd prefer 12 maximum age, i'd rather up my spending than up my age limit (although i'd have to save some more money to up my spending).

Milos Dad - i've pm'd you, i'll travel for the right horse :-)
 
Details in pm. Good luck with it. It may not be what you want but as I am still hunting so will keep you in the loop
