I'm just home from working night shift and I thought I'd come on here for a quick look. Thanks for the replies

When I bought her , she was in a cattle shed with 9 other New Forest fillies and 5 Welsh filies. The other foresters were light bays , pale chestnuts, greys and 1 bright bay. I chose her because she stood out above the others colour wise , as she will have to do in a show class full of Connemaras. I liked her type , colour and temperament as I watched her interact with the other ponies , none of which had ever been handled.I liked the bright bay too , but she had a short thick neck and was very pushy with the others. She was also constantly trying to nip and grab hold of our clothing as we stood watching them. That's how I ended up with a black pony.
Hi Tina

. Yes , I am in Scotland , just outside Edinburgh. I plan to show my pony next summer. I will only take her to a few shows though as she gets bored easily. She will definitely be entered for the Royal Highland Show in June and possibly 2 or 3 other shows.
After that she will have some time in the field , just "being a pony" , before I back her at the end of the summer.
I would also like to breed from her in the future , but not before she has been out to some showing ( in hand and ridden), dressage and jumping shows. I'm looking forward to the dressage as she has very nice paces

I'm off to bed now for some sleep but will come on again later in the day.
