Bruno - 5 year old Dartmoor Hill Pony - 13hh
Super smart 2nd pony, who is proving to be
a very successful jumping pony!
From wild hill pony to much loved yard favourite. He is a solid leg in each corner type!
Bruno has taken part in: rallies, lessons, show jumping competitions, mounted games training and debuted at his first mg competition last summer and fun rides. He has been to an Arena XC clinic and was absolutely awesome bold and brave jumping up to 80’s he really loved it, pulling into each fence! As well as pony drifting and showing where he won his class! Will make a smart (unreg) WHP prospect!
Bruno has had an excellent start to his education and has been carefully produced by myself and now 13 year daughter. We have tried to give him a well rounded education and show him as much as possible without rushing him, exposing him to every day life as a child’s pony. His schooling is coming on very nicely and is established in a correct and consistent outline in walk and trot even able to perform some lateral movements as I always introduce this early.
Enjoys his jumping and no doubt this is his strongest discipline - Currently he is most comfortable jumping 40 - 60 where he has taken a few wins and recently qualified for “Cricklands Champs”. He is scopey and will of of course jump bigger but not as careful at the bigger heights just yet, unless it’s xc country where he flies! He is a speedy pony but can be tuned up a down with his rider and can perform tight turns when needed!
Has recently been ridden and competed by a small but very competent 9 year old jockey in 40cm and 50cm heights coming away in the top ribbons would have qualified for bicton mini champs however rider went HC due to competing at a higher level in the past…
Good out hacking with some occasional green moments to be expected with a young pony, easily overcome by a reassuring rider. He is solo hacked often by adults and children no issues leaving the yard on his own. Bold and brave with jumping big logs, ditches, gorse bushes and going through rivers on hacks.
He is a real genuine allrounder with a talent in jumping. He has been shown and won his class first time out. He does a nice dressage test at home although hasn’t competed in dressage yet…Very smart, workman like attitude, busy pony, easy to do, will stand to be clipped without any fuss and generally a really nice boy to have around. He can be left in the stable Or field on his own and is completely unfazed. Polite and easy going enough not be ridden every day but benefits from consistent work as he likes to be busy.
Very good hard feet so barefoot currently, up to date with farrier, dentist and worming. Hasn’t had any vaccines yet as they haven’t been required.
His ideal person would be an all rounder home with a focus on sj as this is what he enjoys. He would also suit a small adult wanting a fun and genuine pony to enjoy.
5* home sought for this wonderful chap, hard but inevitable sale! He will come with his bridle and a selection of rugs.
I am in no rush to see him go be aware his price will increase with more work and mileage, however offering him now so someone can have him for a full season of fun!
