A very special 13.1hh Welsh Section C gelding who has been an absolute superstar for our daughter over the past three years. He has taken her from age 7–10 as her first pony, giving her an incredible foundation and countless unforgettable experiences. Super easy to look after, happy to live in or out, runs on fresh air, perfect for farrier, loads well and clipped by a child. Up to date with back, saddle, vaccinations & teeth.
Dressage:
This is where he truly shines. He has competed successfully at both regional and national championships, including coming 1st and 2nd in different classes at PC Mini Champs Bicton and 10th at BRC National Championship at Arena UK in April ridden by a 10 year old. He is naturally balanced, works beautifully in all three paces, and has the presence and movement to stand out in any arena.
Showing Potential:
He has been placed 1st in Local Workers and has the conformation, breeding (Thorneyside lines) and movement to excel as an in hand, ridden show pony or Working Hunter. We truly believe he has the quality to go all the way to HOYS in the right hands, though this wasn’t the path our daughter was interested in.
All-Rounder:
He has done all Pony Club and Riding Club activities, proving himself to be a versatile all-rounder. He has taken part in Pony Club Camp, jumping clinics, rallies, pairs xc, mounted games been sensible at the gallops, on the moors and the beach. He has a super scopey, athletic jump and is an incredibly fun ride – with real engine and power. He has been amazing at stay aways such as Mini Champs and Arena UK which both have big atmospheres remaining calm in the warm up and focused on his job.
Hacking:
Brilliant to hack – confident with all traffic, including large vehicles and machinery. Happy to go alone or in company and will canter sensibly at the front or back across open fields, bridleways or the beach. My daughter hacks alone or with friends sometimes (since turning 10) and I completely trust him to be safe & sensible.
The Home Matters Most:
George is a much-loved pony who means the world to us, so finding the right home is our absolute priority. He has so much to give and will be a best friend and could be a serious competition pony for the right child. While he has been a much-loved first pony for our daughter, he is a typical Welsh with plenty of power and personality, he needs a confident ballanced rider to bring out his best as he takes confidence from his jockey.
We have been loaned our daughters next sized pony through a friend so sadly needing to find George a new best friend.
Will come with full wardrobe including Native Pony Saddle and NS bit.
