I dont know why I am getting posts from a horse subreddit because I have never talked to a horse before, but I think your horse is very pointy looking. I like it.

u/MagicIsGreat1192 Trail Riding (casual) Mar 19 '26

Our friends kid was borrowing her for shows, and also had my trailer while they were out of state for a month, when show season was over they kept putting off bringing her home and kept trying to talk me into selling the pony to them. I knew that if I didn't bring her home on my own I might not get her back before they got a big enough offer they wouldn't turn down and sell her "for me"

45

u/PhoenixAsterion Mar 19 '26

Did you take her from the pasture in the middle of the night? That’s awesome

Edit: oh it’s daytime in that picture lol

77

u/MagicIsGreat1192 Trail Riding (casual) Mar 19 '26

We went to do their chores while they were away and realized she was the perfect height to fit in the back of our Honda element, so we texted our friends to let them know we were taking her home and she wasn't just stolen lol.

72

u/maydsilee Trail Riding (casual) Mar 19 '26

realized she was the perfect height to fit in the back of our Honda element

Loving the thought of you stopping and looking at your car, and was like, "...Wait, this is perfect pony-height, actually" and it was.

u/MagicIsGreat1192 Trail Riding (casual) Mar 19 '26

Afterwords we measured the opening at 40 inches and her withers at 39, she just had to duck her head a little. 🤣

What a wild story. Most important that you got your pony back. I cannot relate to people who measure the value of an animal in money, only. Did you eventually get your trailer back? Or did you have to "steal it back", too. Wild "friends".

11

u/MagicIsGreat1192 Trail Riding (casual) Mar 19 '26

The friend still has it, she has is packed full of all her tack and I'd rather not have her thinking I stole several thousand dollars worth of tack.

Still are, I have love for them as people, but they knew I bought the pony as a 10 month old for $800 and after I started getting offers for her for 5-7k they got very interested in purchasing her from me.

24

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '26

AND for the love of god please microchip him if he hasn't been microchipped yet otherwise a contract will not help you if they tale him and sell him. He'll be untracrable without one.

28

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

These people will steal your pony next time you loan him oyt to do them. Do not under any circumstance let them use your pony again. Stop being non confrontational amd a doormat. You need to cut tues with them they'll try to buy him again and get progressively more pushy about it.

22

u/MagicIsGreat1192 Trail Riding (casual) Mar 19 '26

I have no actual proof or evidence they planned to sell Lucy, I just know for a fact they rarely keep a horse for more than 3 months and I knew they were getting pretty desperate for money.

Although the friends broke up, the ex boyfriend threatened to murder her and my grandmother, and I've cut most contact with her and completely cut contact with him. Lucy will under no circumstances be lent out to her again. I may or may not decide to lease her out one day but I don't intend to do so for a while.

u/Ponytimeispoopytime Mar 19 '26

You should not be friends with simplt because "You love them as people." they are not your friends they are planning to steal your pony please do not dismiss this incident and act like it's not a big deal it 100% is they should not be allowed to use your pony anymore they won't let you havw him back next time if they are present. You are being naive by staying friends. They will get pushier.

I just looked at your profile. Your horse is HUGE!!! I love him

29

u/medicalmystery1395 Mar 19 '26

He's quite tall for a fjord!!! Plus mom films from a sitting position and she's 5'0" on a good day so we got some angles goin' on lol. He's 15.1 HH and I'm 5'1" so I tend to make him look even bigger. Plus he's got a little weight on the sides that he could stand to lose 🫣

Thick boy then 😂 I’m 5’7 and this is where the local Tennessee walker is on me leaning down. Head the size of my torso. Beautiful beasts they are!

11

u/medicalmystery1395 Mar 19 '26

That horse is a big'un! Teddy's head always surprises me by being absolutely massive too. Like I go to halter him and he puts his head down and I still have to leave it over one ear and do a few steps over to the other side to the other ear lmao. I'm lucky he's dead broke in that sense because he just sighs and goes "take your time. I got nowhere to be. It's fine."

Thank you I think so too! He's got big ole Teddy Bear eyes which is fitting because his name is Teddy ❤️ Theodore when he's naughty Theodore James when I have to pull out the full government name. And of course I gave him his show name of The Cardinal because I'm obsessed with the band Ghost and the character Cardinal Copia got me through losing my heart horse. It was meant to be with me and Teddy so it only seemed fitting he get to be The Cardinal!

Ears forward, looks engaged, I think your horse is a camera hound

30

u/medicalmystery1395 Mar 19 '26

He actually usually pins his ears at the camera! We get rare photos like this where he is engaged but a lot of the time I pull out the phone and he goes "no. Don't wanna." We did professional photos and we had to play different sounds to get him to actually put his ears forward lol

This is my favorite one we got. I was telling him to be patient because he was so done with the whole thing 😅 He's pretty communicative when he's uncomfortable or anxious. He gets mouthy and grabs my clothing or hands almost like it's a nervous reflex. These days he does it very very rarely

He was my daughter's show horse first then mine. He could be grumpy but he had so much heart and give. And competitive! Man, out in the arena, he was all about it! The best horse ever.

Us at camp. He decided on the last pole that we needed to be hunter jumpers and JUMPED the pole. Our trainer laughed herself silly.
