We've been looking for a new pony for my daughter, eventually found one that seemed perfect but the owner wanted us to do a one month trial first. This suited us perfectly having been missold our last pony.
So we're doing this trial, 2 weeks from her yard then 2 weeks at ours.
At her yard she has no facilities at all, just a field and field shelter, not ideal but we'll get a proper idea of her when she comes to ours. Trials in place and my daughter's been to see her and ride her everyday. The woman then adds me on Facebook and the most recent pictures are of her two daughters riding the pony around the field and another of her hacking and leading the pony with her daughter on.
She's given me the pony's tack and I've given her a 25% deposit to be returned if she turns out not to be suitable. I don't think it's on at all that she's still using the pony but she said it's fine because the pony is still technically hers.
What do you all think? My daughter loves her and she's a fab pony but I think we're being taken the p out of!!
