Anyone got a 14.2 pony for loan / sale?

[Mirage]

I know it's a long shot,but thought I'd try here first.DD1 is 7.5 and been riding for 3 years now and is very confident.DD2 is nearly 6 and is on the verge of begining to canter/jump.We've held out for years in case riding is a flash in the pan thing,but they are both still as keen as ever after years [&££££ ]of lessons .Dh and I have both ridden in the past and plan to try and find a native 14.2 that can live out and be ridden by all of us.I've looked on Horsemart,which is not good,as I want all of them.

[We are in Leicestershire btw.]

Manatee,no the dds don't have any idea.I couldn't face the disappointment if it didn't come off.We spun them a tale about Uncle Peter next door wanting to take a look at the pony,and needing to see it ridden.So bless them they have no idea,it hasn't occured to them to wonder what a 6ft tall 70 year wants with a 12.1 pony.DD1 said on the way home that he was her dream pony.

I've been in and out checking the phone all day-it is worse than being a teenager and waiting for the boy you fancied to ring up.

OMG bless her @ the dream pony comment!!! I so have my fingers crossed for you.

We didn't get him.

I rang tonight to let her know about having a companion for him and apparently the person who had first refusal had already rung to say that she had hopefully rehomed her old pony and could bow take him.The loaner said that otherwise she'd have been quite happy for us to have him and has kept our number just in case things fall through.

Poor dd1's face crumpled when I told her that another lady was going to have him,but she was very brave and didn't cry [although I felt like it,watching her] and we are going to keep on looking.

Oh Mirage

:( I'm sorry. But thee are other ponies, keep looking. Really this would have been amazing to get a perfect pony so quickly, but I suppose in reality it doesn't usually work that well or so quickly. You will get something soon - keep us updated!

Thankyou.I was very disappointed,but dd1's little face made me feel like crying for her.We have decided to do a tour of all the countryside stores with noticeboards on Thursday,and see what else is about.May put a 'wanted' ad up too.Luckily we live in a VERY horsey area,so something is bound to come up sooner or later.
