After 10 long and frustrating months,we have actually found a pony for DD2.We went to try her this morning and I just knew she was the right one for us.DD2 rode her in the paddock,on the road and across open fields and she was great,not bothered by buses,tractors or anything we encountered.She is a blue roan Dartie x and very much like dpony,apart from being better tempered.She has hunted,done PC,gymkhanas,ODE,cross country,fancy dress,showjumping,games,just about everything you can think of.Her owners said that one viewer had turned her down for 'not being pretty enough',but we aren't bothered about looks.
They aren't going to show her to anyone else until we have got back to them and have said that we can go back as many times as we like to try her again.
I'm so pleased,I've hated pony shopping and thought we'd never find what we were looking for,but she has been the only pony we've seen who has ticked all the boxes and that hasn't had a 'but' attached to it.She is the 20th pony we have viewed.Dh agreed with me,as soon as we got into the car,he said that she was the right one.
