Got the biggest confidence boost today!
      #3487631 - 05/09/2008 20:36

Long story- selling my pony Lady, and had her vetted. She failed as 1/10 lame behind (but not in her leg, in her pelvis). None of us could see the lameness. They were still interested, got the back man out- he couldn't see the lameness and couldn't find anything wrong. Gave her a few days off and then got a friend over to check her (she is v experienced, does showing at HOYS), and she said she couldn't see anything wrong.

So today the people who are buying her came again with Caroline Webley (a pretty good showjumper, for those of you who don't know her...). She again said nothing was wrong with her. She then asked to see her ridden and said, "wow someones been doing some schooling! She looks a different horse under saddle!" And we told her the story of being broken in February by us etc and she said "Wow you have done a bloody good job with her". Then she told me about a horse she has for sale which she thinks I should go and see as she wants an "experienced little rider for him" Sorry self indulgent lol!

Lady is being revetted on Monday so fingers crossed please
