Hello everyone,
I've been looking forward to the day that I get my own horse or pony for most of my life (I'm 27 now) and it seems as though that day is now within arms reach. At last!
I've done quite a lot of riding in the past and managed to become quite competent with both riden and stable management and so will be looking for a horse that I will be able to do up to Elementary level dressage and that will also be good enough to use for competing in some cross country and a bit of show jumping. I also want to have loads of fun out on hacks.
I've been looking at all of the 'Horses For Sale' websites that I can find (even those abroad just so I can window shop!) and have fallen in love with the Welsh Section C pony. I weigh under 9 stone and am 5'6" so I don't think it's unrealistic, I just always assumed I'd get a horse!
My question (at last, I'm sorry I've rambled for ages) is what other people's experiences of the Welsh Sec C is and whether you think one would be suitable for my needs? Most of the Welsh Sec Cs that I've seen for sale are being sold because a child has outgrown them. Adults can ride Sec Cs and compete on them can't they?
Thanks if you've read this far! Any replies will be gratefully devoured for information.
Cheers, Zoe
