Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for the advise its great having other peole to talk to about all this x
Well I am leaning towards the bigger horse for a few reasons
1) i would like to keep my horses for life and i cant see that happening with a 11 hh pony unless it was very old and near time to be turn our for wel earned rest
2) im sure as they learn they will teach their pony bad habbits and if its fred i can correct them where as a lead rein would not be possible.
3) as kelly said hubby and i can ride out 2gether or when they ar ebigger emily and josh could ride out with one of us.
4) I dont think i would be able to sell the pony on being a bit of a soppy fall in love and keep the forever kind of girl
and lastly fred's type dont come about that often he's got get up and go but also would do his best to keep you on board if he could. He is perfect (well as perfect as he can be with me in charge
)in the school field, xcountry field out hacking+
The only bad ponit i can see is that it might be hard for them to learn on him as he is so much bigger than anything a child would learn on
lol as you can see im thinking very hard about it and his merrits are too many to list.
anymore thought would be great good or bad
