I agreed to buy a pony! After weeks of nothing,I rang up about one at lunchtime,viewed him in this afternoon and agreed to buy him after a trial period of a few weeks.
The owner was lovely,stood out in the pouring rain whilst the dds rode him,groomed him and led him around.She took him in and out of the box,so we could see how he reacted,let the dds check his feet.He is a 10 year old grey gelding,11.2 and a little star.She has emailed photos of him at shows with her niece,in fancy dress as a dalmation and dyed blue.He seems to be exactly what we were looking for,but the trial will tell for sure.We collect him on 11th June.
I told DH when he got home from work and he didn't turn a hair.I asked if he wanted to go and see it but he reckons he trusts me to deal with the buying of things beginning with 'h',without his input-houses,holidays and horses.
Have agreed to pay neighbour £15 a week for stable,paddock and use of menage,just need to sort out insurance now.The dds can't quite believe their luck.
