Daisy May came out smaller than expected, so is too small and now she is full grown, our girls are too big for her. She is 9.5 is hands, very dark brown and looks like a miniature horse. Her ideal rider would be small, cute and looking for pony fun on a regular basis. Smile Daisy is a little home bred sweetie who loves cuddles and doesn't have a mean bone in her body.

Experience not an issue, as long as rider/parents are keen. Smile

9.5 hands? That's tiny wee, we need a picture! Can you hire her out as a lawn mower and ornament?!

How cute!
I am looking for a pony to share, but 9hh is a bit small (I'm 5"7 and 9 stone!)
Good luck finding someone

We don't do lawn mowers! she's only 5, far to young for a life of boredom and borderline laminitis!

Awww, she sounds gorgeous!!

Sadly Colchester is too far, we are in Surrey, and I fear featherlight but leggy dd (age 9) is too tall. Although she would love love love Daisy May that I know for sure.

Not you cat, the other cat Grin

You're about an hour away from us, do you need weekend riding or during the week, ie after school?

You could probably make quite a lot of money hiring her out as a lawnmower - not many would be that cute!

Is my little one to little? - she's not 2 until the beginning of February ( but a bit of a dare-devil) and we've recently moved to just outside Colchester.

Sim, dFriend thinks not quite 2 is probably a bit young. There are implications about hip and bone development in children that small riding, and tbh, before about 4 their balance isn't really up to it!

Oh dear, I let grandson 'ride' (not for long but he screams when you lift him off the horse and I feel bad) and he is not 2 until end Jan - he only likes my horse though, not the pony or anything else. He even calls him 'mum'!

Cat, we are still planning on coming over but I was diagnosed with kidney stones yesterday so it's all a bit Sad here at the minute and I'm not allowed to drive because if the painkillers.
