Well, I'm pretty sure he's not a Shetland.
Or he's not what i think of when i think Shetland. He's a pretty good size, I'm not good at estimating hands but I measured where his back comes up on me and I think he's about 12-13 hands??
He looks like he might have some Haflinger or something, I don't know much about ponies, so maybe you all can tell.
I took pictures but they are bad because I forgot all about taking them until it was time to go.
And this is the one from the advertiser.
Anyway his name is Bo. He's 9 years old. He was bought from Hemphills in July and because of things just not working out the owner had to sell her property and move into a rental.
Right now Bo is staying at a friend of his owner and is being used as a companion to a very naughty Standardbred mare (who tried to bite my rear end and kept swinging her rear at me) that is pretty jealous of the pony and kept coming over to bite Bo when ever we were paying him attention and ignoring her.
He's super sweet. I put my hands all over him, picked up his feet. Leaned over his back, played with his ears and put my arm around him and waved my hands all around his head. He was so good.
The lady sat on him (she's obviously smaller them me
) and he stood right there. She also has twin daughters who are 6 and the pony was good with them. I didn't bring DD in the fence with me because of that naughty mare.
He's a good weight and very obedient, I didn't get to lunge him with all the ice and snow but he did everything I asked him to.
So long story short, we are bring him home at the end of the month as long as everything clears with the vet which it should, his owner had all his vet records and he was deemed healthy in July.
