Im helping a neighbor with thier pony so the little girl can ride him in the fair. She rides in a halter right now and bareback. Ill be needing a Cirsingle and a full cheek snaffle but could also use a driving bit a d ring is yet another option. Ill also need a tom thumb (with the curved shanks) or a Curb for when I get him more finnished. he's about the size of a thick shetland or the more QH type Mini. a cinch would also be appreciated as well as some little sport boots and bell boots (he over reached at his fast trot) I need these things very cheap seeing as I will be giving them to the girl once im done. so either free or really cheap is appreciated. Ive already got a pony saddle cause I us it to despook the youngsters and such. its beat up but it works lol.

thanks

Im just bumping this up

how tall is the pony ?

[Bluwind_Acres]

about 40-42 inches tall (like I said an over grown mini lol) as far as I know minis can only be like 39 inches max... but IDK its not like he's registered or anything. but anyways he's like a little QH almost.

What size bit do you need? Get his little mouth measured and I will help you look.



Oh and check out this article on the Tom Thumb bit...IMO it explains well why I would never use one.

Well I dont intend to direct rein him in a tom thumb and I WOULD NEVER use a straight shanked tom thumb... those are aweful and it never releases pressure on the bit. Im talking about the curved shank. (as was noted in my first post) if you even check the thread u posted its speaking of the straight shanked Tom Thumb. (no worries...ive done atleast a little home work), lol



like this one.

I however would much rather a curb anyways. His mouth is 3 3/4 inches.

Again im on a very short budget and would prefer used stuff because I intend to give these items to the little girl so she may use most of the stuff on him. the circingle she wont really have a use for later one but W/e Im just giving her the stuff cause I dont usually train minis. I trained one for my neice and he was a jerk when I got him. Now my neice rides him anywhere. anyways just keep this in mind I wanna spend as little as possible.

thanks

Mini tack is rather rare used...

I did find this TT on ebay for you It is a 3.5, perhaps they have access to a larger one?
