And the one that we were planning on buying has turned out to be a lot more bolshy than we planned. When she first arrived at our yard she was scared (i think) and kept rearing when we tried to put her in the stable. She has to wear a chiffney as she is so strong when being led to and from the field - but this was ridiculous.
She is a 14'2hh connemara x welsh, 20yrs old! But bolshy as anything.
The thing is, though, she is the loveliest pony to ride and my daughter who is ten feels very confident when riding her although still a novice.
The other horse is lovely and we are hoping to buy her, and perhaps loan the bolshy one? The 2 horses are v attached to each other and have been together 4yrs.
i dont know whether to send the pony back or not? i feel uneasy around her and handling her but i am assured this will come wiht time. My kids are already attached to her.
What do i do??
