Redefining the Perfect Pony
Our new search criteria, after the terror of owning sweet Whisper for a week, are thus:
14.2 HH (no more and no less)
Old and safe
done a bit of everything
up to £3000 (after bargaining and hopefully including tack)
We have narrowed the height to 14.2 exactly because: smaller will fall foul of Pat, and larger would mean double the livery costs and stepping up a class at local shows. We no longer have the deluded fantasy of bringing on a younger horse as we now know we are too hopeless, not brave enough, rich enough, etc for that. We've put up our price a bit to reflect the greater experience we're now looking for (but not as much as we possibly would were it not for Reluctant-Pony-Dad who has to sign the cheque.)
We still don't want a piebald cob.
