We wish Roo and Willow the happiest of wishes for their next chapter together.
Heartbreaking sale of the most wonderful pony! Cairngorm Commando 12hh grey sec A gelding.
He has been in the family for 4 yrs, previously owned by my sister and after searching forever, I purchased him last year for my 7 year old to have fun when her pony had to unexpectedly retire. My daughter has now moved onto my sons pony so Roo now needs to go and teach another little tot to ride.
At 19yrs Roo has been there and got the t-shirt and that’s why I bought him. I needed something to give my daughter confidence jumping as he will jump anything put in front of him. Roo has previously been to hoys on the Leadrein and wow he can still move. He sits and goes and does the most beautiful show. Last summer we went to the veteran championships, winning all his classes and taking Emily into all evening performances with no work, calmers or plugs! He truly was amazing. Whilst he can move, he will go as steady or fast as the leader asks him to go. He does not mind tiny tots learning to up downs and has regularly been used for their friends to have ride on when over for play dates, all of them getting off with huge smiles on their faces.
He took Emily to pony club camp last summer off lr and I couldn’t believe it when she came back telling me everything she had jumped! He has completed all that is ever been asked of him although he can be lazy off lr and therefore isn’t a fyfr for a tiny jockey. My daughter is a capable, gusty, tight rider and they have totally clicked- she was only 7 but is a good jockey. He has a very bouncy canter and wouldn’t be suitable off lr for a novice rider.
Roo loves his jumping but can get bored flat work and wouldn’t enjoy going around and around in the same arena everyday.
He is fab to hack and not bothered by any vechicles.
He is a very mannerly pony and stands like a rock to be shod,clipped and polished for the show ring! He can be a typical cheeky pony to catch but we leave his head collar on and take treats and this hasn’t been a problem. Roo in a previous life, was badly treated and can be nervous with new people until he trusts you.
Roo is very very loved and will not go to just any home. Emily is too big on the lr and after being told the picture isn’t there by judges, Roo now needs to find a new home. We are heartbroken to be saying goodbye to this unicorn of a pony!
Homes will be throughly vetted as this pony is very special to us and owners must stay in contact with us. We have tones of photos and videos of Roo which can be sent after serious enquires!
Please no time wasters as this is a heartbreaking sale for the whole family.
