haha, i always forget i own a pony.... long story, but she's being sold, and will likely be replaced with some nice wheels for the future 1er

[Augenbrauezug]

Why selling?

Any of my animals > wheels for my ride.

Pony (originally a horse, then traded) was purchased with a friend as an investment. My friend was in financial trouble at the time, so this is how i figured i could help out and we could both make some money.

My friend's wife trains horses/ponies for a living, the end result is an increase in value over time.

She thinks she has hit the limit of the value the pony is going to get, any my friend has now found new employment, so now it's on to new opportunities.

I will likely own another horse in the future, but it will be for me, and not an investment. I used to ride when i was growing up, and occasionally end up on horses now. My girlfrined rides in amature classes now and has her own horse as well.

I'm surrounded by animals (though none are mine, i just pretend they are and look after them all.)

Was just at the barn tonight with the girlfriend, and snapped a few pictures.

her horse is a monster at 17.5 hands.

[Augenbrauezug]

Ahh I see.

Damn 17.5 hands is huge. I thought my Tennessee Walker was big at 16.5... well he is but not HUGE.

This is the girlfriends horse, the kid it is licking is about 6' tall

he's a bit of a beast.

he's a big baby, I have a lot of pictures of him licking someone. Or he just really wants the salt off their skin... She has him trained very well. She's actually taking him to Ocala Florida this week for about 2.5 weeks just to try some new things and get more experience.

I'm going to drive down and visit, good opportunity to go to Disney and Universal

The barn is pretty decent, it's very functional, however, the people that have it are stingy, and they won't turn the heat on in the ring ever, or really even turn on the lights. Anything to save a dollar.

There's some pretty fancy barns around her, but i hear a lot of horror stories where people go all out on the barns, and then forget to make them functional.

Ohh I guess yall pay to have him boarded? I'm about to have to do that for a few weeks, spraying my pasture for burrs. That barn makes mine look like Motel 6 though. Closet thing I got to a heater is closing the door and putting blankets on them, here in Texas it really isn't an issue though.

Both my walkers are young, about 3, and one is so well mannered but the big guy is a jerk. I'm actually thinking about selling him to get another one, I don't have the time to train him and ride daily. He never licks either, but he does try to bite. I love him all the same though, and really don't want to sell him. He just bites so hard that he takes pieces of fur and skin off the other walker, and he's got no manners. He's given me a bloody nose plenty of times throwing his head around, (you'd think I would learn) and nearly tramples me when I put pellets out in the feeder.

Haha Disney and UNi will be fun, especially having your horses with yall. Maybe if you buy 2 extra tickets you can ride them in the park

[StigJ]

New boss in the house. Got her on friday.



Not so good friends yet. But I think were getting somewhere.

lol, yeah, the horses are definitely being borded, we're still a bit on the young side to have our own place with open pastures for the horses. It's a nice dream

You definitely don't need any heating for the horses there in Texas. We haven't had any major cold spells this year, but that just means we've never really gotten below 0 degrees farenheight

some of the horses here get their necks and bodys covered for warmth. Where my girlfriend is from (nova scotia) they are cloaked with the neck and body covers basically all winter long, it's a lot less common here. The cold just isn't as bitter and bone chilling.

would be funny to see peoples reaction to the horses having a crap walking down the boulevards in Disney.

I'd ride up on children, to leap off my horse on to the backs of unsuspecting kids screaming "HO DARE! HO DARE!"
