Would you take on ..

a pony with deformed teeth/mouth as a companion pony?
Has no trouble eating ect, lovely pony but cannot wear a bit.
Would this put you off?

I don't think so if it is a companion. As long as he/she can eat fine I don't think it'd put me off

Not in the slightest, providing he can eat comfortably and maintain condition. I assume he'd need regular teeth checkups, but if you're not intending to ride him then the bitting problem wouldn't be a problem, would it. Plus, no reason why a horse like him couldn't go in a hackamore of he were to go under saddle. I had a colt with a severe parrot mouth and it never stopped him looking good and doing well. He's 26 now and still going strong

No, it definitely would not put me off.

Why do you need a bit to ride him? Is he being offered as a companion becuase he can't be ridden due to his mouth?
