Re: [RC] selling horses take II - rides2farCash Pony was starved, untrimmed, unbroke, still a stallion and little. That was nearly two years ago.> > Cash Pony finished his first full endurance season last year, as > National Championship 100 mile Jr. horse, 10th place at the Old Dominion 100 in June, I rest my case. Cash & Joni are the perfect match. Where else could you have found someone as small as her who could handle a pistol like him and would actually be *happy* that he was still enough of a snot to act up at his completion trot out after the OD? He's worth a gold mine to you. He's not worth much to the parents of a timid kid who wants to get him out of a stall once a week to go in a circle. Getting him in the right hands was the trick. Josie had a 14 hand registered Welsh pony that we raised from 5 months old till he was 11. He never did us a bit of good. He didn't like trail riding. Was no fun to ride around playing since he didn't mind throwing a buck at all. I sold him to a woman in Atlanta. She's a good jumping trainer with a talented daughter who loves riding this pony. This is the post she sent me this week. If Joni had this pony and they had Cash, Nobody would have lived happily ever after. >g< Remember...this pony was *not* good to us.... snip< We went to our first show of the season this past weekend at Conyers at the Georgia International Horse Park. Stanley ended up Grand Champion Pony Hunter, with three championships and one reserve championship himself, and he carried Victoria to the 12-14 Equitation Champion the second day (he was a little monster in the indoor ring the first day and stopped dead in the middle of his over fences warm up, but by day two he was perfect), she won the GHJA Pony Medal, which makes her 1/2 way qualified for the finals this year (you remember the drama in November!). They also won the Marshall & Sterling Pony Medal. If she qualifies for that one, the final is up in Saugerties, New York in the fall. He continues to live up to his title "Pony Of The World"! At least in our hearts! Here is a link to pictures of him from the weekend if you'd like to take a look: http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/ThumbPage.aspx?e=2725041&g=04SQ00FS0N. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
