Reduced to find his perfect home
'Lightning' The MOST Gorgeous Best Friend anyone could wish for. He is the easiest, sweetest boy to handle. We call him our pet dog, as he would follow us around all day for cuddles if he could.
He is beautiful on the flat and very responsive. He’s exactly the same at home as he is at arena hire, cross country, pony club rallies, fun rides and competitions. Perfect in open spaces and not strong. Ridden in a snaffle. Been through water & loves a day out.
Before us he was in Ireland, and loved to go out hunting too.
When at the gallops he’ll fly up the track with the rider trying to win, or stay 1/2 a mile back with a nervous rider just wanting to trot. He really is a dream.
Saying all this, he isn’t a complete first pony, as he loves jumping & becomes much more forward when you pop the jumps up past 50cm. He will happily trot around a course of cross poles though. If the rider can hold their reins, walk & trot, then he’ll teach you everything else nice & calmly.
He is ridden successfully by a small 6 year old girl. As his 9 year old rider is the size of a 12-13 year old, so just too big for another season :(.
He’s never been schooled by adults. Any size kid/ or age can jump on. He’s good to go and super sensible & safe.
He does not kick, rear, buck or anything else of this description. No vices, or issues.
Turns out with mares & geldings.
Handled by kids daily, including my 4 year old, who turns him out & brings him in. The kids often ride him back & forth to the field in a head collar, sat on his rug.
Up to date with farrier, injections, chiropractor, dentist and wormers.
