| I just want to make it clear that apart form being a horse lover I have no other connection with these ponies, I appreciate that reading posts like this must be distressing for the breeder who has indeed bred some lovely ponies. I am sure you know that I post on here about Arabs and TB's from other sources who have been entered in general sales. My daughter DID go to the same shows as a young teenager and I kept my horse on the next yard for many years, that is all. This was not a general sale but a special well promoted sale with provision for remote bidding and the breeder would have had no idea that most of these ponies ended up where they have, and for that I do feel sorry for her. However, if the balance is between hurting someones feelings and tracking down these ponies so people who really appreciate them can buy them then there is no choice for me. I hope that you will all agree that in no way have I made negative posts about the breeder on this thread, and it was not my thread at the start. Thanks |

| Jackiedo all i can see is that you are trying to help these ponies find the best possible homes, this is something which is a good thing and nothing negative at all can be said about this. Do we know where any oif these ponies are that are looking for homes either with dealers or private homes ? |

| Four pure breds are in safe hands and holding whilst they reach their new homes, one has been mentioned already but obviously I won't name them or their new owners. They are all safe, well and settled. |

| We were talking to a lady yesterday at the show who had been to York sale, she said she was so annoyed as they had put a mare and foal in a pen beside a stallion , she said the mare was very distressed as the stallion was making a fuss and she was trying to defend her foal, surely they should not be allowed to do this when the allocate pens for the ponies they cannot be that stupid that they don,t realise you cannot put stallions next to mares, there were also a pen full of very poor shetlands who only made about 8gns , how very sad , the breeders must realise its foolhardy to breed ponies at the moment . I don,t think they were anything to do do with the Darkhorse ponies . So pleased that you know of some that are safe bathleyhills, i should of gone and bought a couple the mares , they would of been a nice cross to my B stallion for the future when things hopefully pick up. |

 indeed. The breeder must have a very heavy heart. I cannot imagine having to part with so many lovely creatures to an uncertain future. Lucky ones that have known safe homes. I hope that others may have love, comfort and understanding owners too. |

I wish I hadn't looked as Morris's mother was sent to the sale. Her description even mentions Morris's success. She is listed as N/S which I presume to be N/S.
She is 19 years old |

| This is just too sad. Rare breed ponies selling for 30gn :( I hope they haven't gone to meat! Well done to those who have saved them. Shame that there isn't some legal restriction to rare breeds going to meat. |

| Saddlebred I think the vendor was as shocked at the prices as anyone, the sale was very widely publicised and was also on the web. |

I bet the owner was shocked, but in my opinion.. just too many to put through one sale... she would have been better selling them in smaller lots...Supply exceeding demand. |

| It is published in Barnsley Chronicle today that yesterday the breeder of these ponies received a ten year ban abd a 9 day suspended sentance for animal cruelty. I hope this is the end of it. |

| I don't know what happened here or the lady concerned, but I do remember the Darkhorse ponies always being at our shows when I was on the committee of Lincs and East Midlands AHS Group. It seems terribly sad to me that someone who has put so much into breeding her ponies over such a long period, loses them in this way. I know there is a vast different between deliberate neglect or just unable to look after them properly for whatever reason (health/age/money) just seems a very sad end to a long established stud who bred some lovely children's ponies. I particularly remember Darkhorse Dorian from that era. |
