Thunder (Lightening 111) - Super BS Starter Pony. Many double clears on his record up to 1m.
Good Bronze League pony for a young rider or realistic Potential for Silver League with a more established jockey who can give him confidence and practice over the bigger tracks.
He has great scope and an excellent jumping technique and jumps out of an even stride and is loose behind. Really tucks his knees up and is neat. Very rarely touches a pole. Could go far in his jumping with the right partner and training but is not a top track pony.
We have not affiliated before but my 10 yrs daughter had 2 double clears at their first show, winning both. They followed that up with a win in the 70 again and a great round in the Stepping Stones. A rather over ambitious turn attempt in the jump off cost them the clear but we didn’t know that it wasn’t against the clock!
1m to 1.05 could be his sweet spot. He made light work of his first Springboards with an older rider. Proving he has scope for more. He just needs more mileage over the bigger fences, but it is all there.
Super for NSEA and pony club teams. Has been to Rectory Farm PC Regional Champs many times with previous owners ( 5 years) and apart from 1 mistake jumped clear around the Junior Tetrathlon XC course at JCB Champs in 2024.
We took him this year for the 70 cm where he jumped 3/3 lovely clears. Quick jump off pony although sadly my daughter’s sat nav error at the end of her jump off cost them a top 10 place out of hundreds.
Qualified individually Area Dressage. 2nd in his arena and won the warm up test. 2025 Hickstead.
Superb XC pony. Schooling sessions up to BE 90 fences with 10 yr old jockey. Super with water, ditches, drops, skinnies, corners.
Lovely to hack alone or in company on roads and open fields. Likes to be in front if in a group. Can have a little spook but doesn’t do anything bad. He enjoys life and is a very happy go lucky, fun chap.
Snaffle mouthed. Came with a universal but we rarely use it now.
Good to catch and turn out, loads and travels a dream. Good with vaccinations but fussy to worm.
Can be left alone or with company on the lorry or trailer. No fuss. Ties up on the yard perfectly and waits patiently.
Brilliant at PC Camp and Champs.
Good with farrier, he was successfully barefoot for 5 years before we got him but I wanted studs in for XC.
Sound, Fit and ready to go and teach his next small person in PC and schools jump/ dressage/ event / Tetrathlon teams or is ready for someone more ambitious to train him up to reach his full SJ potential.
