AND HE'S PERFECT!
He's actually rideable, drives too but...just ahh! He didn't try and kill me even with my crappy bareback riding hehe.

Got some pics too ;D


Editing out my face, I looked terrible today. Also, the guy was like "What are you doing hold the reins like this *positions my hands*" I was like "OMG D:" So that's why my hands are odd too.




Going to pick him up tomorrow, and the guy, who has 200 horses and 900 acres O.O
He's having my Tobiano gelding for a month to sort him out and just generally teach him some manners.

But soo excited!

what are you planning to do with this new pony???? i wouldnt take any advice off someone that has such badly fitting tack on there pony!!!! and if i were you i certainly would not send your tobiano to him to be "SORTED OUT"!!!!!!! you will probably never see him again.

I have to admit I hadnt noticed the tack before, my worry was how big she looks on him, I am also worried about her tobiano to me it smacks of dealer

Cracking pony but a tad on the small side for ridden? Will make you a loving driving pony though. I certainly would question why you are sending you horse to someone who obviously had a rather unique riding style??? That bit is huge in his mouth and the bridle belongs on a cob I'd have said!! Other than that he's certainly a nice looking little fella.

Umm, excuse me? lol.
FYI, i'm not planning to do anything except hack in the woods until next year when he's 3.
It was the only bridle they had at the time, I barely touched the bit when I was on him. We also only walked.
Too late he's gone. These people train horses for clients aswell, the only damn reason he's going there is because i'm too small to handle him and my Mum is in no fit shape to handle such a heavyweight horse with his attitude.

Cosmetic. He's a native and i'm 7.5stone. He carries me fine. Being too tall is purely cosmetic, honestly I don't know why people such a big deal out of it.
Yes. They are dealers, but they're breeders and trainers aswell. You don't even know them so how can you and the above be so quick to judge?

He's fine to be ridden, believe me if I knew how to drive and had the money to buy a cart i'd be driving him lol.
It's an interesting riding style but the guy is good at what he does. I rode a few of his horses and all were good considering my crappy balance (note to self: practise riding bareback before going out in public). Agreed most of them were 2 year olds but they weren't rammed on the road, nor were they abused in any way. The bridle was the only one they had unfortunately, I've got a properly fitting one at home that i'm going to try on him tomorrow.
My gelding is...well...challenging at the best of times. When he's being led he'll rear, swing round to kick and usually bite out of aggresion. I didn't see one of this guys horses do that, even the stallions were absolute saints, for the price he gave us to do all groundwork and backing is probably half of a weeks livery at a "proper" breaking and training place.
He needs to be sorted out, neither me or my mum are in any position to get seriously hurt if he threw one of his hissy's while we were on the other end of the rope...
