15yo chestnut Welsh B.
We’ve had Buffa for the last two years for my daughter and, if I’m honest, we probably bought him too early for her.
He is definitely not a first pony. He’s a typical Welsh B, can be silly and he can buck. He also reacts to a nervous rider, which unfortunately my daughter is, so they’ve never really been the right match.
With a confident rider he’s a completely different pony. I have plenty of videos of him bombing around the beach, hacking and jumping with more experienced riders and he can be great fun.
He’s very easy to do on the ground, good to shoe and clip, good in a herd and travels well in a trailer or horsebox.
He is 127.7cm and JMB registered. He will happily trot around a 40/50/60cm course and will step up and jump around 70/80/90cm. With his previous owners he has a record jumping Springboard classes, so he’s certainly got the ability there.
With us he’s mainly been used in our riding school and ridden by my daughter. She has taken him to NSEA competitions, jumping the 50s and going clear around the 60s this year.
He is a pony that is much better when he’s in regular work. When he’s being hacked, ridden and jumped consistently he is much quieter. He’s not the sort you can leave in the field for a week and then just hop back on. The more work he has, the better he is.
Sadly my daughter doesn’t want to do BS and really just wants a pony she can hack around on and enjoy, so Buffa is completely wasted with us.
We did pay quite a lot of money for him, but he hasn’t done loads over the last couple of years, so his price will reflect that as we would like a fairly quick sale to the right home.
He would suit a confident little rider who wants to get out, jump and have some fun.
He isn’t suitable for a nervous or novice child, and I’d rather be completely upfront about that from the start.
Lots of videos available, including him at the beach and jumping with experienced riders.
Right home is very important.
