dd is a keen rider,very confident and helps school inexperienced slightly wild ponies at the riding school she is at. (she helps there weekends) Its a lovely school, ponies kept very nicely and they are very very aware about not overworking etc.
A new pony has come on to the yard very recently who is going to be available on a working livery basis. We've seen it being ridden once. lively little thing, nice and forward, very pretty but not quite got the hang of cantering round the school in a tidy manner.
dd is going to have a ride on it in a couple of weeks once it is settled in. She believes it is to test it out for the yard owner. YO has said that they will put off any enquiries so we can take our time to make any decisions.
Thing is, I don't know much about horses (other than I like them very much indee and what I've gleaned from listening to others). Livery covers shoes, worming, teeth, feed. We have to cover vet and supplements. lessons are discounted and dd can hack pony when she likes (with a group)
What do you think?
