As if someone standing on a pony or horse's back would be something which would influence most people's decision on buying...

It would influence mine..................I'd think I don't want to buy a horse which some tw@t has been standing on!!!!!!

 

[Skhosu]

I wondered if he uses the poor pone as a mobile platform so he can wash the upstaris windows....

No, I would not be influenced by someone being able to stand on it.

Id assume they are trying to show the pony is fairly quiet. This horse IS actually v genuine!I was recemntly looking at beginners ponies for someone and the seller did exactly this as an attempt to prove the pony was v quiet. Still, odd to put a photo of it in an ad.

Also, in ireland most ppl ( except showing ppl and there arent a hell of a lot of those) call anything around the 15hh-15.2hh mark a cob regardless of bone density - unless it is very "bloody". And knowing the seller, thats exactly why hes calling it a cob. -

Hunted all season yet suitable for a novice, blimey

 

[CastleMouse]

I know the pony and sellers vaguely, and tbh I wouldn't pay €6000 for him...

Castle hunted for several seasons and was suitable for both a novice and experienced rider

It would certainly make me stop and read on and if he were right in every other way it wouldn't put me off going to see..

Dont agree with this, plenty of horses hunt full seasons and are suitable for novices, I've hunted plenty, my old mare hunted 12 seasons running and would take your granny hunting!

Well I must admit to not knowing much about horses who have hunted, I did ride a hunter on holiday a couple of years ago and he was an absolute gent, however he was a bit navicular and we weren't allowed to go more than a walk, but I did wonder how he would react if we bumped into some other horses tanking about, fortunately we didn't.

 

[RunToEarth]

lol, I think its the same with anything horsey, great variation between them all. I have a coloured hunter who in bouncing off of the walls 24/7, after a full days hunting he is still jogging back to the boxes

I honestly can say he never has all four feet on the ground, whereas Bertha (my old mare) is just as able, jumps just as big and hunts just as hard (well, did, back in her day, she's 27 now!!) but you could do everything on a buckle end with a snaffle in, and yet you could pop your 5year old sister on for a hack!

 

[StarFell]

What an idiot. I don't think it would put me off though, I do like the horse.

Hunti ng and suitable for a novice are fine - my boy who'll possibly be out twice this week (I reckon 1st day will be a quiet one) gave a beginner lesson to a teenager this morning, and also went out with me and my friend while I rode my young mare on a conditioning ride, with plenty of fast work, and not a few airs above the ground

Lots of them do raise their game to the rider

agree..all the riding school ponies go out hunting regulary through the season at daughter RS and they're all suitable for novices

I reckon he just locked himself out or is a peeping tom!
