How lovely does she sound!! I'm not in the least put off by her age as I got my old pony when he was 24 and had almost 12 years of fun with him.. But ohhhhhhh I shouldn't be looking yet really.. besides is Oxfordshire quite a distance from Essex? xx

[Loony]

Oh how sweeeet!! And no it's not tooo far..

[Welly]

Doesn't she sound perfect Loonypops.. I just showed Dan and I didn't get an outright 'not a hope'
I just think she looks/sounds adorable and if the ad is true she sounds just what I want for Grace! xx

[Loony]

She does sound like a little angel, I bet Grace would love her! She's like a much bigger teddy bear, all floofy! :lol:

[lilholley]

ohh she's so cute!! I want her!
I must admit, I just couldn't sell a 24 year old pony, but obviously don't know the circumstances..

[Welly]

I couldn't either - I think people who sell their oldies on are just heartless! How can you NOT give a golden oldie who has given you SOOOO much and appears to be worth double her weight in gold a forever home?! And that little face... xx

[Thingamyjig]

Nope... have my Maz, SHES the perfect one and you know it lolol

seriously though, she sounds great.. awwww what a lucky Gracie.... give Dan some "special" treatment, im sure you'll win him over :p:p:p:p

[micki]

She sounds like a really good pony. The age wouldn't put me off if it's for a young child as they are more likely to be a steady pony for a kid to learn with:).

If I win the lotto I'll buy her for grace.

She seems really sweet, I wonder how long they have had her?

[Welly]

LIBBY!!!!!!!!! :P :P :P :P ( I hadn't thought of that.. Gotta go offline for a bit.. JOKE!!)
Micki - thats what I thought, Grace is only 19 months (coming up 16 in her mind already lol) so a real steady eddie is exactly what I'd love to get! xx

[Welly]

Oooh we posted at the same time Rhea!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for your lotto win then hun shall I hehe and if I win I'll buy you a sand school and some jumps so you can get going with Jester even more!! xx

Hell yeah, I wouldn't say no to that! Roll on tonight! :p:D

[Welly]

I shall go buy my ticket now my lovely! xx

There's nothing at all wrong with selling a 24 year old pony! She has loads of love and life to give yet. It would be such a waste to retire a pony at just 24!

Thats true, Its nice to know they have a forever home isn't rather then to pushed about.

[gem]

Aww she's lovely!! What a cute little face. £400 for a 25yr old shetland though?!? :lol:

[GR & Me]

BUY! BUY! BUY!

Defo agree, special treatment is obviously needed and you can get Grace a perfect wee pony. I think you are paying for the bombproofness tbh so age would certainly not put me off!

[Welly]

I would pay anything pretty much to know (as much as you can know with a living creature) that I am getting a safe and genuine pony!
ZM I guess you're right but at 24 I'd want to give her a forever and ever home and make sure she was loved and looked after til the end of her days!! Maybe I'm just too soft! xx

[black crow]

Sweet little thing!

Age is technically against her, however pootling around wont do her any harm at all, and shetties often do live to such grand ages [mine certainly has!!]
I think you should go for it. You will make her such a happy pony :)

[Welly]

Grrrr - well after speaking about it seriously last night its agreed that we won't start looking until March/April time so this little gem will be sold by then I should imagine!!

But am positive the right pony will come along when we're ready xx

[BEX101]

It might be worth pointing out to the hubby that prices go up in the spring and this one is such a bargin as it comes with everything and you wouldnt have to spend a penny on it.

[helena]

The age certainly wouldn't put me off, for a child you are much better getting a veteran pony that has been there done everything than an unpredictable youngster. The price is reasonable as it includes her full wardrobe.

[Welly]

That was my thinking Helena.. I want to know that whatever I buy is going to be as close to bombproof as possible!! xx

Sorry hun, no lotto wins for me this time :(
