Idk... I was very happy to have a critter free (along with kid free) weekend other than thinking about them missing things they would have enjoyed. Dog included....

Sooo.went and picked up Cookies this afternoon. His owner brought up selling him... he mentioned it prior but wasn't sure he was serious. He paid $3000 for him about 4,5 years ago...and of course he wants that back out of him. He's approx 13 h and kid safe on trails. Excellent trail horse.... easy keeper, great hooves. Good health though is 19 years.... obviously I don't have 3 grand.... but he would consider payments.... or said $2500, and they still get him every June for the grandkids to use.... but if I pay over 2 grand for a pony plus paying for his care....idk.... and if my kids want to show 4H well June isn't a good time for the pony to be somewhere else... plus he is 19.... though that is a good age for kids to learn on....... not sure if he's even advertising him.... always had a soft spot for POAs.... in the right market he could get the 3g....if he does everything he used to before.... idk guess he's here I can put some time into him.... see what he really knows.

No pictures??? 
19 is old for a horse or a pony. My old fella is 28 and is a great kid horse. $3000 might be steep for a 19 year old pony, but I wouldn't take any amount of money for my Joe (that's his eye in my avatar) Is this pony trained for show or playday? And if you buy him, his present owner can just go piss-off, who gives a horse or pony back for a month or so every year? If the pony dies or is injured, would he replace/pay vet bill?
There are good kid horses and ponies out there, you just have to look. I found our little chestnut gelding on Craigslist for $800.

Well DH says no in any case... got to focus and get my barn up... this time he is right. 
In any case we can use him until he sells.... who knows I really don't know that he is serious...last I talked to his wife she didn't want him to sell him. A good pony is hard to find but not impossible....
so if you didn't see pics from this spring. Here is Cookies

DH says no more horse purchases this year and he is right (need to get a barn up)...In any case he isn't advertising him and I agree it's a high price for a 19 yr old. Even if he's the pony I always dreamed of having as a kid...

Leopard Apps are my to die for favorite. He is gorgeous, but your DH is right.
