We’ve owned Tucker for 16 months. My daughter was a dinky 7 year old when she started her BS journey on him and is now a dinky 8 year old.
I wrestled Tucker off of a friend in Ireland. His 7 year old lad at the time had been flying around their U10’s 80’s and 90’s very successfully since he was 6 years old. His Irish record speaks for itself.
Tucker loves to be ridden forward, he is fast, very competitive but safe. My daughter has never wanted to ride him forward so unfortunately this assumed match made in heaven just hasn’t materialised.
I have been desperately reluctant to admit that the pair just don’t gel because Tucker is such a smart pony with so much potential. I have been putting off writing this advert for 6 months just hoping and praying that things will change and she would ride him as he was ridden in Ireland, but it’s not to be.
We will for sure see his next jockey winning Springboards and going on to jump the Winter/Summer’s on him in no time at all. When he qualifies for Hoys I will be pleased but devastated that it’s not my daughter on board.
I have an older daughter who is out of 128’s so when my younger daughter isn’t around we often sneak him off schooling with her bigger ponies, so I know exactly what he is capable of.
She has had some great days out on him and lots of lovely clear rounds but primarily this hobby should always be fun, and she doesn’t consistently have the fun on him she should and likewise Tucker doesn’t really appreciate the way in which she wants him to go.
His BS record is relative to a tiny inexperienced 7/8 year old jockey. It’s not bad by any means, Qualified Stepping Stones Finals 26, Bluechip Pearl along with her NSEA Finals with plenty of 75cm and 80cm DC’S mixed in.
If Tucker goes to the right home his price tag will end up being a bargain as he has got the potential to end up with a value far in excess of his current one once he is amongst that group of 25/30 ponies in the country capable of jumping the top tracks.
It will be a sad sell for sure as he is loved by us all, but it is the right move for daughter and pony.
Ideally I would like him to go to an experienced jumping home with a capable jockey so he can fulfil his potential.
He is good to do in every way. Loves to hack out, great in traffic. Although he is blood he never gets silly if he has a period of time he isn’t ridden. Not once have I ever felt that my 7 year old was unsafe on him.
He is JMB life measured 128cm.
Numerous photos and videos we could share as you could imagine.
Presently he goes out during the day, in at night. Good with other ponies and travels well.
