Our Poppy is looking for her next forever home, as she is very sadly wasted and completely outgrown now, this is something we never thought we would do and is heartbreaking for us, so please no time wasters.
Poppy is a 14 y/o ( this year ) welsh b x arab. No medical history at all but some minor cosmetic blemishes. She has been with us for 6 years and previously came from the family who bred her, so only ever had 2 homes in her life.
In the 6 years we have had Poppy she has been out and about to clinics, lessons, countless local shows and unaffiliated dressage. She has had all sorts of riders on her from novices to experienced riders, however she isn’t a novice ride. While she hasn’t done much hacking, she will happily wander down the lane with another horse, she won’t really lead but doesn’t do anything nasty just not the most confident, this is the same in new environments as well as the roads.
Poppy is typical mare, she pulls faces in the stable, but has impeccable manners, never walks through you or come out her stable. She requires a confident rider to hold her hand and takes reassurance from her rider.
Poppy schools beautifully on the flat with the right person but it does take time to understand how she works, she’s certainly no pushbutton pony and doesn’t work like clockwork. She will pop a cross pole but jumping isnt her forte.
If you are looking for a showjumping / low level event pony, she is not for you, ideally we would like her to have a low level dressage / showing / pony racing home with a confident gutsy child that wants a quick, fun pony to whizz around with. Equally, she is a gem on the lead rein so wouldn’t mind her going to a smaller child, as long as an experienced home, or even a very small lightweight adult.
To load Poppy is an angel, she trots onto our 7.5 tonne every time, travels like a dream and will stand all day on or next to the box at shows with a haynet.
Poppy has previously been on a 2 week trial at a busy riding school who wished to try her but riding school life wasn’t for her, she needs her one special person to love her like we do and thrives off a routine.
While Poppy is perfect in our eyes, this is a very honest advert as she is quirky and understandably isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and it essential she finds the perfect forever home. Home is far more important than price, we would like her to go with her saddle that has been fitted to her, other tack / rugs / wardrobe available too. Long term lease also considered.
Please get in touch for more information, open to any vetting and as many viewing as you like, we can’t stress enough that home is of utmost importance!
Homes will be vetted and references required to ensure the most suitable forever home.
