Magpie
I had her up for sale several times when I first got her as her first line of defence was attack!! All the prospective buyers were looking at her for children because of her size. I couldn't possibly let her go to a child. At that time she would have killed someone!! So I decided to keep her and once she realised she was here to stay she changed. She is the safest and best horse. What she lacks in height she makes up for in heart and courage!! Harley
Picture taken just after he was born. Harley is now taller than his mum. At 18 month old he is 14.1 hands so I think he is going to be bigger than Magpie. His sire was 15.2 and the same colour as Magpie, the same shaped head and bone structure. From a distance it is very hard to tell Magpie and Harley apart. They both have the same markings!! Polly
Got Polly in 2003 as a 4 year old from a riding school. She is 14 hands and a very heavy set horse. She has a full horse size body on short thick pony legs. She is a bit of a plod but so trust worthy. Polly gives the impression of being a bit slow and clumsy but she is one of the most intelligent horses I have ever met. She may take a little time to understand the questions asked of her but once she gets it she I sold Polly in July 2007 to make room for Tommy, a six year old ex-racehorse. 15.3 and a real big softie. Unfortunately, Tommy is no longer with me. After having him for 7 months and trying to build a relationship with him I have decided that it is just not happening and he went back to the people who sold him to me in March 2007. He frightened me when we were out riding, I didn't feel we were getting any further ahead and I had no confidence when out riding him. I bought Polly back in March 2008 as I missed her so much!! |
