Floyd, 13-year-old grey spotted pony, 13hh. For sale as sadly outgrown. He has been my daughter’s best friend for almost 5 years since she was 7. He’s is more of a childs second pony but having said that he took my daughter off the lead rein so could also suit a confident novice, but probably not a very nervous rider.
Good to catch, shoe, clip, load etc. Vaccinations, teeth, worming etc up to date. Always sound and never had laminitis though, he will put on weight easily. We use a muzzle to control this if needed.
Can be turned out with mares or geldings, a home with company is a must, he loves his friends.
Will hack alone and in company and safe in open spaces. Good with traffic but needs reassurance with big machinery and motorbikes. He will happily lead off another horse.
He is a great pony club pony attending lots of rallies and camps. He enjoys show jumping and has competed up to 70cm. He will jump 90cm happily at home, I think for competing, 70cm is around his comfortable limit. They are normally in the rosettes and qualified for the pony club mini champs this year. He is slightly green in cross country, I think with more practice he would excel here too. He will happily do some flatwork in the school but he is not really a dressage pony. He has never reared or bolted and does not buck. Hunted in previous home but but I would not recommend him as a hunter for a small child.
He is the type of pony who will step down for a confident novice but can also be lots of fun for a more capable rider.
Floyd is a real character and loves attention. He can sometimes lack manners on the ground, nothing nasty and he is easily managed but think he needs a home where an experienced adult is around to help a small child if needed.
He has a small lump on his left, lower eye lid which he has had since before we have had him and it’s never changed and doesn’t bother him. No other lumps and no sarcoids.
For sale (no loans) with full wardrobe for £5000 but open to near offers as a good home is of most importance for us.
