Extremely handsome 12hh approx grey Dartmoor gelding.
Previous to coming here, he has been allowed to slowly grow and mature on Dartmoor, on a conservation grazing site, in a large mixed herd.
He is rising 7 this year, and since coming here in Dec '24 has been regularly walked out in hand on the lanes and bridle paths and has been long reined also. He wears a snaffle bridle, has had a driving harness on, an old fashioned 'klibber' pack saddle, without issue.
He has been great in all kinds of traffic here, including farm machinery, the school bus, even a mobility scooter! He has also been well behaved when we have met other horses out hacking, whilst on our walks out. He loves getting out and about.
He is not a stand and be pampered sort of chap, not a fan of being groomed, but has been bathed without trouble.
He has had the winter off, but has been stabled at night and out during the day, where has been turned out with a mare, and is also happy with individual turnout too. He is also happy to live out.
Has previously been both turned out and loose penned with mares, geldings and colts without issue.
Can be left in the stable on his own for short periods.
Has the potential to be a ridden, or driven pony in the right hands, but equally would make an excellent nanny pony for youngsters or companion.
Up to date with farrier, worming and teeth.
Can be a little grumpy sometimes, particularly first thing in the morning, but by this I merely mean he can pull faces, he doesn't do anything.
He can be a little stubborn, but is a characterful, wonderful little chap.
He is supplementary registered with the DPS. Lots of videos and photos
