- 14 year old competitive jockey
- Passion for Show Jumping
- Short term Summer Loan or Long Term Competition Home Offered
I am seeking a talented horse or pony to loan for my 14 year old daughter due to the long term injury of her 16hh horse, therefor my funds are tied up with this unforeseen and upsetting situation.
Her passion and love is within Show jumping where she has competed up to 90cm unaffiliated and 1'10 under instruction.
We offer a varied all rounder home, on a private yard with school, individual turn out, great hacking and access to the moors. 3.5t spacious horse box, 3 very local competition venues right on our doorstep and a fantastic coach who teaches us both. Active pony club member, who has competed up to regional champ level and recently qualified for the barrier animal health champs, however decided to pass down to another member as she secured a ride on someone else's horse for the day!
Not your average teen rider! Along side myself, she schools people's ponies locally and is paid to do so, often being asked to ride difficult ponies, she is offered competitive rides often, which is great as she can earn some money and gain lots of experience riding different horses, often only riding them for the first time on the day in the warm up! But its not quite the same as having a number 1 to love, groom and ride.
She has been producing ponies with me for the past 3 years, backing, schooling and competing, often riding my 16'2 Dutch warmblood mare, whilst retraining her OTTB, said horse is very highly strung and complexed without the now long term injury. She transitioned to horses 1.5 years ago with ease having had a very successful 2 years on her 14'2 and various smaller ponies previously who were either backed or produced to well schooled allrounders, sold to fund the next height.
She has the ability to get on most horses/ponies and work them out for the first time, getting results and harmony quickly. She has an excellent seat and balance, has been taught to ride from the seat rather than the hand, very good hands and also to ride and hold forward horses/ponies to a fence.
We are very open to young and green providing the talent is there and it wants to jump, equally it would be lovely to have something established as we have never had the luxury of having something ready made!
Would consider going BS in the future, but this is absolutely not essential and would only affiliate when the right partnership is formed.
Open to full up 14'2 pony or up to 16'2 horse, as she is 5’4 and still growing, something easy to handle on the ground is a must however we don't mind quirks and spice under saddle just nothing nasty or dangerous.
Will consider short term summer loan or a special long term option!
Might be situation where someone is going off to uni, injured or time and facility restrictions means you have something talented that needs to get out and about ready to to be sold or something you are looking to be competed at a decent level longer term. Jockey is available now and keen to have a season of competing, has a reserve camp space in August at Pontispool where she will have to steal my horse if she doesn't have one!
Many references can be provided, we offer a knowledgeable and experienced home where I can assist with schooling and riding as a mother daughter duo, but the main rider competing is my daughter.
