14.2HH GREY CONNEMARA - APPROX 11 YEAR OLD GELDING - BEN/BENJAMIN/VINURA BENJAMIN

Ben is a pony who I am trying to find just to know how he is. I bought him when he had just turned four years old from a dealer at a horse auction and brought him up, teaching him to jump along with building both of our confidences within each other and in different types of surroundings. However, i had to sell him on due to outgrowing him, finances and also time which was an extremely sad sale, though sold him on to a lovely family where further unfortunate family circumstances forced a very sad sale of this boy.

He is a gorgeous pony with the kindest of natures, brilliant around very young children and can take on all types of riders whether a complete novice (as I was when we bought him) to very experienced riders. Loves being in the company of other horses and thoroughly enjoys jumping coloured fences and also taken part in many activities with the previous owners in Leicestershire including hunter classes, very much so an all rounder pony.

Ben was last known in the area of Leicestershire, believed to have gone on to his new owners in the Osgathorpe or Griffydam area of Leicestershire though it is believed he is either on loan or has been taken to Perth in Australia.

I can most definitely provide information to confirm I was the owner of this horse at one point, all I want to know is how he is doing and if he is well.
If anybody knows anything about this gorgeous boy at all then please do contact me ASAP.

Reward for information leading to contact with new owners. Trying desperately to trace Vinura Benjamin 14.2hh approx 12 year old full registered Connemara. Two previous owners really want to know he's safe. Sold from Leicestershire but could be anywhere! He was our 'pony of a lifetime' but due to circumstances totally out of my control I unfortunately had to sell him in July 2011. I didn't get to say Goodbye to him. Was promised I would be able to see him again once settled but new owners then emigrated to Australia and I've had no contact since. If you have any information please get in touch. I can't rest until I know he's safe and well xxx

owners name Michelle Spence from Swannington near Coalville. Daughters Lucinda and Jessica. On speaking to ppl the mother is rather a strange woman who threaten me with legal letters because I wanted to know if he was okay!! She was slandering me around the area saying I was going to steal him back!! I'm not a criminal, never even had a parking ticket! Just wanted to know how he is as got a devastated son. The truth is I had to sell him because my husband went to prison for assaulting someone who had continually stolen from us and hurt our family for 15 years. I was not involved and didn't know anything about it. My young son lost his pony of a lifetime and his Dad in the space of a couple of months. It was totally heartbreaking. We sold his other pony that he had outgrown at same time and have regular updates on how she is doing. I was promised I would have first refusal if Ben was ever sold on but that didn't happen. We are still devastated over three years later! Really want to know what's happened to Ben, good or bad, so we have closure. This pony is an absolute superstar. Please please someone get in touch with news we so desperately need. 07720-560566 xx
