We went to view a little shetland on the weekend, as a companion for Raff and for a lead rein pony for my 2yr old...

i was slightly hesitant about shetlands, as i've always thought them to be nippy, but loads of peeps on here persuaded me to consider them... i did... i went to view him... and was absolutely bowled over by his amazingness. he was calm, chilled, unflappable, not bitey, absolutely PERFECT (in fact reminded me very much of a small version of Raff).

As we were leaving the yard... i felt my waters go (33weeks preggers)... so i went to hospital where i was forced to stay in, i kept telling my hubby he had to ring the lady about the shetland to say we wanted him... he said it could wait til the next day... when i was released i rang her straight away... but she said the kids had decided they couldn't bear to part with him... so my heart broke...

anyway, she just rang up and said because i was 'so nice' they wanted us to have him... so, just got to work out transport and where to find some money (just had to fork out WAAAY too much for house survey)... and then he'll be mine mine mine....

here he is:

oh bums, she's taken the ad off horsemart already...

anyway, he's a little black shetland, 7yrs old... and yumyumyummytastic.

and the fact that in hospital they are being hysterical and going on about me having to have steroid injections etc... and over the midwife's shoulder i'm mouthing to my hubby 'ring the shetland lady'.

it's my third (and last) kid, and my waters leaked with the first two, so i'm not too worried by it. it means i'm sitting here, watching (crap) tv, on HHO, instead of being at work... so whooppee!

i've half written a reply to your email... before getting distracted by the hot postman, then feeding the chickens... then Come Dine With Me... so, expect a reply at some point... just maybe not immediately...

I'm so pleased!!! Another shetland owner!!!

we used to have a hot farrier... or maybe i'm just desperate?!?!

seriously, i have a very hot postman, and he ALWAYS wears shorts... the vet is only semi-hot really (he gets 'bumped up' to 'hot' status simply because he's a vet).

hehehe loving the priorities! I have a big black shetland - who is the sweetest, most patient chap ever, couldn't part with him, having said that he's on loan to a lovely family giving their daughter some confidence - he's scrummy so another vote for shetlands!
 
Shetlands are wonderful little creatures, when god made them...he was having a good day.

So glad you have found a companion, you will lots of fun with a shetty and there fantastic little lead rein ponies.

Looking forward to seeing pics of the cheeky little monster.
 
ahh thats just the loveliest news - you must have been sooo disappointed when they decided they didnt want to sell him and then ecstatic when they changed their minds. Good luck with him - he sounds adorable and just what you need. Make sure you get shetland proof fencing at your new home !!! ;-)

So thats the horses sorted?? Chickens next ??

my husband is thinking about pigs though....
 
Aaah, what a cutie!

Glad she changed her mind! There's a wee grey shettie at my riding school, a proper Thelwell pony, and when he trots his little legs go so fast trying to keep up with the other ponies, they practically blur... he's gorgeous.

He's too fat atm so he looks like a bigger pony that's been chopped off at the knees...

I hope you and your kids have loads of fun with him!
