Meet Bindi - Piebald Cob Mare, 12.2HH, 11 years old. Fantastic 2nd Pony.
Bindi is the Prettiest little mare, with a gorgeous unicorn mane and a real character that loves a pamper.
We have owned Bindi 4 years originally buying her for my daughter when was 11 years old, after 2 years or riding lessons. Bindi was her first pony and has been an enormous confidence giver, teaching her to be firm and independent in the saddle.
However, despite being our first pony, I would not describe Bindi as a first pony for an inexperienced child.
She is a forward, strong and intelligent little mare who needs a confident, capable rider who can be firm and consistent. She can be cheeky and will test her rider if she thinks she can get away with it, but with the right little rider she is an absolute superstar and has so much to offer.
Bindi is a “been there done it” pony. My daughter has done almost everything on her (including pony games and riding backwards!)
Showjumping, cross country, Hunter trials, pony games, Chase me Charlie, Hacks alone and in company.
She's jumped 60cm show jumping courses and 40/50cm hunter trials and cross country and jumped upto 1 meter in chase me Charlie!
But hasn’t done as much jumping recently as my daughter has sadly outgrown her, but she absolutely loves getting out and doing something new and is ready to get back to having a job.
Bindi is also incredibly fast! (Almost beating a 16hh thoroughbred X in a race) This is part of what makes her such a fun pony, but also why she needs a confident rider. She enjoys having a good run when given the opportunity and can get very excited when she’s somewhere new.
She would make a good pony club pony for the right child as has the experience. She would probably excel in pony racing and just loves to do anything fun and loves open spaces where she can be a bit more free. (Fun rides, beach rides etc) She can get a bored with repetitive arena work and can come across a little lazy at times and need a little encouragement if she’s finding things dull, but take her somewhere exciting and she comes alive.
She has been ridden on the lead rein by my youngest daughter on hacks and is happy doing this, but she is NOT a lead rein pony and does not enjoy being led round in the arena. She really needs her own confident rider.
Bindi is very low maintenance and easy to have around. She’s good to catch, good for the farrier, barefoot all round, up to date with vaccines, lives happily in or out, currently enjoys having the option of both, easy to load and travels well.
This is a very difficult sale for us. If bindi were a couple of hands bigger, she would be staying with us forever. My eldest has outgrown her (over a year ago) and I’ve been putting off selling her because she loves her so much and is going to be heartbroken when she’s gone. I would keep her for my youngest daughter but unfortunately, she is simply too strong for her at the moment and it will be several years before she is big enough and experienced enough to ride her independently.
Like many forward, intelligent ponies, Bindi is at her best when she is in regular work. If allowed to become unfit and bore, she can become cheeky and fresh, so she is best suited to a home where she will have a regular job.
She will only go the best home. She is a much-loved pony and finding her the right person is more important to us than a quick sale.
Part exchange considered as we are on the look out for a 10-11 hh Welsh Sec A.
