A very difficult sale of my handsome gelding.
Jack is a talented, experienced and forward-thinking pony who has been a wonderful part of my life over the last two years. He is now looking for a confident, capable rider who will enjoy continuing to get out and about with him and make the most of everything he has to offer.
He is NOT a novice ride or a child’s pony. He is best suited to an experienced small adult or older, capable teenager who is looking for a forward, responsive ride and has the experience to manage a pony who can be sharp at times.
Jack is happiest hacking in company and can be ridden on the buckle. He is good in a group and in open spaces, has seen all sorts of farm machinery, dogs, bikes and everyday traffic. He can be nappy when hacking alone, so this is something that needs to be considered by any prospective home. He would be best suited to a home with other horses and a rider who is happy to hack with company, or someone willing to work with him.
He is a lovely horse to take out and about and has proved relaxed and well behaved at new venues, including busy warm-up arenas.
Over the last two years with me, Jack has enjoyed:
• Unaffiliated and BD team dressage
• Riding club competitions
• Arena hires
• Day camps
• Clear rounds
• In-hand, pole, flatwork and jumping clinics
He has lovely flatwork and we consistently score 65–70% at Intro and Prelim. Prior to me owning him, he successfully competed at Novice level, attended Area Festivals and stay-away competitions.
Jack has plenty of previous jumping experience, but this is no longer something I do with him. He would not be suited to a competitive jumping home, although I’m sure he would be happy to pop a small fence at home.
He thrives on variety and would suit a home where he can continue to enjoy clinics, low-level competitions, riding club activities, showing and plenty of outings. He still has so much to give to the right rider.
He is extremely easy to do on the ground and a real yard favourite. He is good for the vet, farrier, dentist and physio, and is easy to clip and bath. He isn’t silly to turn out or bring in. He loads and travels well and has travelled with me in both a trailer and a 3.5t horsebox.
Please note:
• Best suited to a home with other horses around
• Currently shod in front only, good feet
• Sometimes windsucks in the stable
• No known medical issues
•Tack and rugs negotiable.
This is a very difficult decision, but I am now looking to step up to a larger horse to progress my own riding goals. Finding Jack the right home is much more important to me than a quick sale or price.
