HALESTORM HARIBO
An exceptionally talented competitor across all disciplines, Haribo has successfully competed in NSEA, Pony Club, British Dressage, British Showjumping and Eventing.
A truly outstanding pony in every sense, he is professionally schooled weekly in show jumping and dressage to the highest standard.
A 138 BSJ Rising Star, Haribo is ready to qualify and be competitive at British Novice, Discovery and Newcomers.
Remarkably accurate and ultra-careful, Haribo has an outstanding technique and an incredible desire to leave everything up.
With the heaviest of hearts, our much-loved pony Haribo is now looking for his next family, having been an absolute superstar for Bethany.
We bought Haribo as a four-year-old, having been carefully backed straight off the forest by a top-level rider, with his journey documented on Instagram. He was then entrusted to Bethany as her very first pony.
At the time, Bethany and I were complete novices — Bethany had only ever ridden riding-school ponies, and we had no prior experience of owning a pony.
Now eight years old, Haribo and Bethany have grown and learned together, and what they have both achieved is nothing short of amazing.
Haribo has a phenomenal temperament. He is confident in the competition environment and in new places, remaining calm, focused and totally unspooky.
He is a genuine pleasure to handle in every way — impeccable for the vet, dentist and physio, and easy to catch, clip, load and travel, alone or in company.
Competition Record
• NSEA National Finals – Show Jumping 90cm & Prelim Dressage, 2nd Place
• Pony Club – Show Jumping 90cm, Eventing & Dressage
• British Showjumping – Competed up to 90cm, qualified for Blue Chip (sadly Bethany was away for the final)
• Winter Prelim Dressage – Regional Winner
Haribo is currently training up to 1.15m and shows all the scope and ability to continue progressing. He absolutely loves cross-country and is happy hacking alone or in company.
He is content living alone or with others and can live out in all weathers.
Haribo is only available as Bethany has now outgrown him. As much as we would love to keep him forever, we feel we owe it to him to find his next young rider to continue progressing and achieving greatness together at the highest level.
He would suit a confident, ambitious young rider with aspirations to compete at the highest level and win. Previous pony ownership is not essential, provided there is knowledgeable and experienced support in place.
Haribo is only eight and thrives on consistent work. He will require a rider committed to riding at least five days per week, or suitable arrangements for regular schooling and exercise at a high standard, to ensure his continued development. He is not a pick-up-and-put-down pony.
He will only be considered for a home that can equal — and ideally surpass — the dedication, care and commitment he currently receives.
