Hello everyone!

I have lurked here for a while but never plucked up the courage to sign up until now! I currently own a lovely 11hh 'Dartmoor hill pony' called 'Missy', which isn't a miniature by breed but she is fairly mini! (Not sure if that counts or is allowed

)

I originally bought her to do showing with and to drive but when I got her she was completely untouched and very nervous so we had to work on getting her used to people and bringing her on.

Her first picture:

And a more recent one (5 months on):

She has come on so far in such a short amount of time and I am very proud of her. She's very gentle and although still quite timid, she is happy to go on walks through the village and be groomed for hours on end!

I hope you let me post on this forum as I really do enjoy reading all your posts and seeing your lovely ponies.

Have a fantastic evening and I look forward to reading your replies.

All the best, Sammy and Missy

Welcome! You are more than welcome here. Except for what I've read, I know little of English ponies, but Dartmoors are one of my favorites.

Thank you very much! She's not a 'proper' dartmoor, she is a dartmoor hill pony which is basically a mix breed of ponies which roam the moors down in dartmoor. However, she is very small and I figured she may fit in here..

Hi Missy's Mum, just sending you a warm welcome from Wales. I love your Missy - she's soooooooooooooo cute, plus her colouring is very unusual even for a hill pony. Looking forward to hearing more about her and you.

I also lurked for a long time before joining this forum. You will be happy you did! They are the best! I can see the difference in Missy, her eyes and face are much softer in the last pic.

Welcome from North Carolina!

What a pretty girl, but then I'm partial to pinto markings and she's quite the "splashy" girl w/ the extra "dots" and blue eyes. Looking forward to hearing more from you about Missy's progress. What are your plans for her? Driving, riding for smaller family members/friends or just your companion? I have several shetlands in the size range she is - very nice size.
 
Hi and welcome from sunny Arizona! Looks like you are doing a great job with her!
 
Welcome from frozen New York! She is a beauty and I hope you have fun with her. Keep us posted.
 
Hello from windy Nebraska! I am a newbie here as well, and everyone is soooo willing to provide advice & stimulating conversation. Missy is adorable! Can't wait to "see" your progress!

Great pictures Sammy - she really is a pretty girl and very lucky to have found someone like you to love and care for her.

Looking at the beautiful stone walls in the pics I would guess that you either live in the Dales or in the South West - Devon/Cornwall - maybe near Dartmoor somewhere??

Do you have other horses in the family or other animals, would love to hear about them if you feel like telling us.
