I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH NO MORE TIME WASTERS!!!!!!
This a very sad and stressful time for myself , my daughter and Daisys loaners , so please only enquire and arrange viewings if you have a genuine interest.
It is with a very heavy and sad heart that we have to decided to look for a new home for our Daisy Doo as she is being completely wasted and has so much potential and lots more to give, so please absolutely no time wasters or joy riders.
THIS IS A 100% GENUINE TRUTHFUL AD WITH ALL PROS AND CONS SO PLEASE READ ALL THE DESCRIPTION.
Daisy was brought for my 11 year old daughter nearly 4 years ago as her 2nd pony , unfortunately my daughter had lost all interest in horses around a year ago so we put Daisy on loan for a year hoping my daughter would come back to it unfortunately she hasn't.
Daisy is currently on loan to a mother/daughter share kept at the same yard , her daughter knew the basics but was very novice , Daisy has now taught her to ride and brought her confidence on leaps and bounds , Mum is very experienced with horses and knows what she is doing , Daisy really does know her riders ,for the novice rider she will take care of you and teach you to never be to relaxed or content whist riding, for the experienced rider she will be more forward going , like most horses there may be a possibility she might even test you to see how much she can get away with ,may take the biscuit a little , but once she realises your not going to let her take the biscuit shes an amazing fun ride this is just a possibility.
Daisy will hack out alone or in company , she will be more forward going on her own and a little more dramatic nothing nasty or silly, again with regular riding all the drama subsides.
The reason for loan home not purchasing is her 13 year daughter has very long legs and although daisy does take up a lot of leg she is now starting to look quite tall on her so would need something bigger very soon.
We have done pony club rallies, cross country, hunting, beach rides , fun rides ,local shows in hand and ridden always placed and lots of hacking she just takes everything in her stride, she is very laid back and sensible on a show ground and on any outing , she doesn't doesn't get stressed or fizzy.
Daisy can lead or be lead off another horse , ive done plenty of times , ive lead Daisy off my horse when a child or complete novice has come for a hack/ride or when ive not got the time to ride both horses , never silly or strong , she may neigh which is very loud, sounds extremely dramatic but nothing silly , you can pull Daisy from the field once a year and she would still be the same horse .
Daisy is very low mileage as she was broke to ride at 9 years old by previous owners, and was a driving mare for a deaf girl for 5 years , ive never drove Daisy myself but I do have pictures of her driving . Daisy transitioned impeccably to her ridden work nothing fazes this amazing mare .
Daisy is a little green in some areas but with regular riding , schooling and furthering her education she will excel in any discipline you wish to do with her.
She knows all the basics and loves to jump.
Daisy is not your typical grumpy face pulling mare , she would stand to be fussed and groomed all day she is very loving.
Daisy is not quite a first pony/complete novice ride due to her dramatic behaviour at times but if a rider knows the basics and is confident she would further your riding ability .
Daisy has never bucked reared or bolted , however she MAY throw a little bunny hop with excitement , nothing ever malicious, she is never silly or strong , as with majority of Welsh ponies she can be a drama queen!!
For example you could be out on a lovely hack then out of no where she will spook/jump at a blade of grass that moved, i swear she does this on purpose to wake her rider up!!.
Again nothing dangerous, nasty or silly.
Daisy is not bothered by big rubbish piles drains anything that would spook a regualr horse shes fine with it all , she is 100% in traffic ,not so keen on tractors or loud fast motorbikes , she likes to be spoken to with plenty of reassurance, we just pull in or over , face the tractor or motorbike so she can see whats coming she is fine, she will pass the tractor if need be , she MAY rush past a little , whilst going past again nothing dangerous or nasty.
Daisy currently lives out 24/7 with my old mare with the odd night in to have a break from the cold weather , she is a very good doer and has never been sick or sorry , no laminitis, she does fatten up very easy so ive been strip grazing in the summer months , Daisy does know when the electric fence is live or not and will go through them if not live .
Daisy did take the best part of a year to fully settle into her new environment , although she would be a little stressy when brought out of the field without her friend she was never nasty or malicious.
Daisy can be turned out with other horses no problem , she does like the boys lol! ??
We did find if she was turned out on her own or next to other horses she is completely unfazed by leaving her friends.
Daisy is extremely clever and responds well to learning new things and likes things to be kept intresting whilst in the school, as she can become a lazy Daisy.
Daisy is kept on a farm so used to cows and sheep and farm machinery.
The only thing Daisy really does not like and genuinely shakes with fear is the sound of a shot gun going off in very close proximity.
There is lots of pheasant shooting especially this time of year in all neighbouring fields , every horse on the yard absolutely hates when its a shoot day it unsettles them all they all turn into nervous recks , even the golden oldies .
We have rode daisy on these days ,although she is a little unsettled, and genuinely worried , once on her back she will be nervous and a little hesitant but with reassurance she will settle down once past all the shooting ,because of the stress and fear caused by the shooting we decided to not hack out on these days , on occasions we have loaded the girls up and took them elsewhere for a ride and she is absolutely fine.
Daisy will always let you know if something isn't quite right ie teeth , a sore muscle or the saddle not fitting quite right due to body shape change or in season etc, her behaviour will slightly change nothing nasty but you will notice a slight difference.
I would like her new owners to have an understanding of her and not just see it as a bad behaviour there will always be a reason for ANY behaviour change with Daisy is never nasty and is VERY predictable.
Daisy would suit all types of homes, I would like her new owners to have some experience and an understanding of horses rather than a complete novice buying their first horse.
She would suit a novice or experienced rider , riding school , a happy hacker , pony club pony etc this pony can and will do anything you wish to do with her and will excel in any discipline you wish to do with her.
She doesn't respond well to a stroppy aggressive approach she becomes more stubborn, although will respond to a firm tone should she need it, Daisy responds well to a kind ,gentle approach as she really does love a good fuss the more you give to Daisy the more you will get from her in every aspect .
We dont have access to a school on our yard , I do have transport and can hire a school for people that have a GENUINE SERIOUS INTREST!!!
She doesn't have any vices.
Daisy is good to box , shoe, clip etc
Daisy is up to date with teeth , physio and saddle check .
Daisy will come with a complete wardrobe ,saddle that was made and fitted to her , 2 bridles , a mountain of rugs for every occasion , boots , saddle pads, tack trolley and much more.
I am more than happy to send more photos and videos on request , NO TIME WASTERS!!!
