- Total been there done that family friend
The time has come for our beloved Zennor Swift to find a new little person.
Swift is an 11yo, 39’’ Reg Standard Shetland gelding. He is County Standard, & has been shown in Ireland extensively previous to us buying him in 2019. Since we have had him he has continued to do well showing locally LR & FYFR, and has done absolutely everything you could do with a pony with us too, and he is a total dude. He has taken my daughter from very wobbly LR to FR really well.
He loves kids and goot fo them to do totally. I also really like that he’s forward going without being strong, so doesn’t need constant kicking to keep him going, while always having brakes. He’s done PC including camp, shows, games, beach, mini SJ & XC, hunting, you name it, he’s done it. He’s a real member of the family.
Recently he’s been often borrowed by friends children for rallies and general fun, including spending the summer holidays in a taped off section of a friends garden, living alone and going for regular hacks right through the middle of Croyde and on the beach (in peak tourist season - so you can imagine the traffic, not to mention oddly dressed people wandering around carrying surf boards, inflatables, buckets & spades etc).
He’s not spooky, and is exactly the same if ridden daily or not for months, he is a very good transition pony from LR to independent riding as he is not offended by children balancing on his mouth, and will listen to badly made requests and go where he is pointed, but is also good enough that when the child learns to ride better he will take a nice contact and do a good little show.
He also has a fairly decent jump so would be really nice to try for M&M Workers. His price is negotiable to the right home. Please whats app if you’d like more information, or to come and meet him.
We are in the middle of Exmoor on the Devon / Somerset borders, so general miles away from everyone, but it's a very scenic drive, and we can help with transport.
