Sorry, I didn't mean to sound so negative, but that was just my opinion! Very sorry!

No your right, i got her yesterday, and i am so impressed!! She went on the float first go, she didnt move an inch the whole 1 1/2 i had her tied when grooming her, and i rode her down the road and she was just a dream. We also suspect she is pregnant. She looks better already after giving her a good scrub, and overall i think she is worth alot more than what i paid for her. So i wont have any trouble at all selling her, even if she does have conformational faults! Thanks to everyone for your advice, i am really glad i followed my heart on this one!! Even my sister secretly thinks she was a good buy, she just wont admit it! So im am 100% happy!!!!!!

This is my "late" opinion!
I think that it is a wonderful thing that you are wanting to do. Do you have any other horsey pals that can ride the pony during your training? I will say that if you are wanting to start training ponies and resaleing them, she might be a good one to start with...you probably won't make a profit, but when you are learning new things, sometimes you just have to eat it!
If you don't have a buyer for her...you have a friend that you have made from scratch!
You said you have a potential buyer....after you get the ground work down with her and are ready to start the riding...see if the "buyer" would like to assist with the training and start the rider out on lunge...that way you will still have the control!
Best of luck with what ever you decide.
