Elf On A Shelf
...
It's lovely to see so many people loving fell ponies! My Jasper was one of the best ponies I ever had! Once this herd has depleted a bit I will get myself another one. But that won't be for a few years yet!
And you got 2 for 1
Picture pleaseMe. I specifically wanted an Appaloosa or cross so got one. My horse of a lifetime.
Next one wasn’t breed specific as he was ‘breeding unknown’ on passport and a nice ISH type. Can’t say I went shopping for him as I took him for free knowing he was broken. But I knew him well from a previous job and he came to me as a companion and had 3 lovely easy years with me before being pts last year.
Can’t say I was specifically looking for another one, but I had always dreamed of an Akhal Teke and have a soft spot for Spanish horses. Saw a cross of the two and knew I had to do it 😜 Can’t really say if I’d have definitely bought her if she wasn’t that particular mix, although I like to think I would have. Time will tell how she turns out as she’s only 5 months old atm...
Always an Arab for me although next purchase Is something my novice husband can safely hack out, he rides my old boy in the school but too sharp out hacking so this time my only criteria is super safe hack good with tractors and lorries. This is quite daunting as usually i'd go straight to an arab breeder so not sure what i'm going to end up with!
I wanted a WB, got a cob x
I wanted a WB, got a welsh
I wanted a WB, *finally* got a WB 😂
None of my ponies as a child were what I wanted either, salty is the first in 27 years of horse ownership that is what I actually set out to get and even that was a complete fluke 😂
