Insite on Welsh Cob BreedPictures added What do you think2007-11-24 21:17:48

Thanks for the insite so far. Here is a little information about her. She is 9 years old 13.2 hands, and currently being ridden by a 9 year old little boy. She has been trail ridden, and is sound. What do you all think? They are only asking $600.00, and they also have her full sister for sale too($600.00 also). She is bigger, and a solid white. I am tempted to get both for that price. Tell me what you all think, also some name suggestions? Her current name is Windy.

Here is the link to the site I found them on if you would like to check them out.

What the owners say is great. However with horses it's always "buyer beware" What appears as a bargain priced beauty can have a nosebag of bad habits and hidden problems, lameness covered up by a myriad of ways by knowledgeable horse people, I didn't say reputable, but knowledgeable. Go see the horse on day they don't expect you and don't you get on to check it out, but ask them to mount and ride it out cold. If all appears well then call your Vet and get a "well horse" checkup and Xrays of all 4 feet this will cost a couple hundred and worth every penny because "no hoof no horse" $600. booby prize! Be wary! That is a beautiful pony, both are, I would hurry to check them out. Good luck!

The first thing I would do, when thinking of buying a horse, is have a large animal vet look at her, and also any horse expert you can find, such as an evaluator at a horse auction house.

Same way I wouldn't buy a car without having a mechanic look it over, except that you're more likely to fall in love with a horse after you buy it and then find out its defects.

I looked at the photos, She has a nice face with a kind expression.

Welsh ponies are nice horses, unlike Shetlands.
