Meet Smokey, he is 25 years old, 11.2hh, and has one eye. He is brilliant. He has been doing all pony club stuff with an eleven year old girl who has had him since she came off the lead, but has now outgrown him, we were so lucky to manage to get to the front of the lengthy queque for him! William is desperate to be off the lead, but it is going to be a steep learning curve - he is capable, but needs to concentrate and not randomly leave go of his reins! A wee video, sorry about the poor quality, it was very nearly dark:

How fantastic congratulations, Smokey looks brill for 25. Ponies like this are priceless. When I was 16 I bought my first pony who was about 24 for £70 including tack and delivered. He taught me to ride(I had no lessons whatsoever) and he then taught 3 children on a near by farm where he retired and was PTS at about 33. He too did some of this with one eye. I wish you all the best. Happy story!!

Have lots of fun, will he become a dragon also lol xxxx I actually very nearly tried the dragon costume on him today just for the fun of it, then decided he was far too muddy and I didn't want to spoil it! But yes, come better weather, he certainly will, thank you!
