Priors Millie (rising 8ys, black) & Matilda, (rising 5, chestnut / flaxen).
Mother/daughter pair, very well matched (paces, looks etc) except for colour ;-) Both approx 36�
Millie was started last winter, driven successfully at local indoor and club events/training days, also been a tandem wheeler, and regularly used in a pair with another of my shetlands. She long-lines beautifully as a pair with Matilda, and really knows her stuff! Very forgiving and sensible, (I let my novice mum drive her!) and she works in a nice outline but is very speedy when needed!
HOWEVER: Matilda was still in the process of being started - no assistant has now delayed the process of actually putting to, and dark evenings have stopped things. She is very light and responsive to long rein, and I have put in lots of ground-work with her, and I will continue to work with her as time allows. Option of sending her to be professionally finished at buyers cost.
Both are forward going, traffic proof, but have brakes. Used to pigs, and are both excellent to ride alone, or ride & lead. Travel / farrier / regularly wormed / teeth / vaccinated / passports. Done pony rides at village fete, both well handled from a young age.
***Millie is in foal to a stunning palomino stallion, should be a gorgeous foal - due late march 2010 onwards, hence she has not been driven recently. Pictures available, including of sire.
Sensible offers around �1250 considered for the three of them, home more important! Would consider splitting if necessary - they happily work/live apart. However, they will make a lovely pair, and ideally suit someone who wants a project, as Matilda will need bringing on first, and Millie is expecting! (Every pair needs a reserve though!)
Genuine reason for sale due to a change in circumstances, I would not be parting with them otherwise. Some (incomplete) pairs harness may also be available (good for long-lining as pair). East Kent. Delivery may be possible.
