Just put down a deposit on a new pony!!!  Never bought unseen before but fingers crossed all will be ok!!  She is up in north Yorkshire, I am in Hampshire, so viewing was not possible.  Fortunately a friend knows the girl who rides the pony so got me all the inside information!!  Beautiful little grey connie, 5 years old.  just trying to sort transport now!  Eeeeeek!!!!

I know why you  are nervous Trish.
I hope it works out well for you.
Until early this year I would never have advised anyone to  buy a horse they had not seen and handled. But we bought a very young Highland pony mare in May from Inverness that we had only seen a video of! I never thought I would do that. But it has been a brilliant decision. She is kindly,  sensible, everything the video showed and more. We got no nasty surprises, only nice surprises and although sh eis only 4 we are getting on famously.

so don't be too anxous...it can work!

[trish.farm]

was going to use Gillies but using Seth Douglas has done me a really good price after a lot of sweet talking!!  And no, haven't slept a wink!!!!

[trish.farm]

woo hoo!!  she arrives later this afternoon!!!!

[Kimbo]

Nail-biting!!!
I had to wait until 8pm for our Highland to arrive. I felt sick with the tension. But she strolled off the lorry as though she had just been for a trip round the block.
Photos asap please

[Kimbo]

Trish!!! Cooo-eee, we are dying to know about your new girl.

Here is a not very good pic of our bought-unseen girlie

Trish!!!
Help us out here; the suspense is killing us!
Has she arrived and are you pleased?

[trish.farm]

sorry for the delay!!!  Been far too distracted!!!  My Dinky pony is everything and more that was promised!!  Arrived weds afternoon, came off the lorry as cool as cucumber after 6 hours travelling.  Settled into her field with my other too the other side of the fence.  Saddle fitted Friday, went for a little walk in hand, yet again, cool as cucumber.  Rode her today, walk, trot and canter in the school then a little amble round the farm on our own.  What a little angel!!!!  I am so thrilled with her, have never bought unseen before and put total trust in the owner telling me all about her, and she was completely honest.  I now have a little star for the future!!!  Woo hoo!!!  will try and put a photo up!!

[Bionic]

Very nice 

[trish.farm]

she is 14 hands, rides like a 15 hand though.  5 years old, came over from Ireland earlier this year and was backed and ridden on in England.  She is the sweetest, calmest pony I have ever had!!
