Bex2www.expat-equestrian.com Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 HI I have been aked by my french neighbour if i can try and find her a pony for her two young sons. She isn't looking for anything fancy. She doesn't want an 'old' pony, also will be on its own. Hope someone can help!bex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatlady Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Where are you? I'm a bit puzzled as to why a french speaker would have trouble finding such a pony, as there are plenty of horse dealers all over France with ponys like this for sale, especially as the summer season is nearing to a close and lots of parents sell up during the winter to save on costs, and buy another larger pony for the next seasons clubbing.If your in the Mayenne/Normandy region I have the names of several such dealers she could call.One small comment, keeping a pony alone isnt really fair, unless there are sheep or other livestock nearby which can keep him company, has your neighbour considered this do you think?

Bella Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 DITTO the message above. There are lots of riding schools who sell off all their horses at the end of the season for a very small price and some of them let people have them on loan for the winter months. In any case it is VERY unfair to keep a pony of it's own. They are very much herd animals and need their own kind for company. It's a very sad life on their own and they are not toys to discard when you are fed up with them, despite what lots of well-intentioned parents think!!! This isn't meant to sound nasty and I cannot find a smiley face to put on this - don't know how to do it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
