• 14.2h - 14.3 hh

Am looking for an experienced pony for my tall 9 year old son to hunt and do all pony club activities.

14.2 - 15hh

Must be sensible and capable of jumping hunt rails, walls and small hedges when ready!

We live on a farm in Gloucestershire and do lots of hacking and fun rides, so goes without saying must be sensible in open spaces. My son will have a lesson per week and do pony club activities, so would like something that has come from a similar type of home. He may also do the odd Sj comp and arena eventing, so must be capable of jumping a course of up to 85 cm.

My son is keen, but wouldn't like anything too sharp or too whizzy, so am looking for something that stays in a nice rhythm and has good brakes.

Knowledgable 5* home awaits, with four children who all ride.

Very much hoping to find Mr right soon, so that a partnership can be formed ready for fun summer pony club activities.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Silva has taken my daughter from jumping 70cms to now jumping 1.10m+

Highest Points scored, winning the Bronze League (Wales) 1st April - 30 September 2023

However, since Summer 2023, my daughter has had a huge growth spurt and is now too big and too tall for this pony and the mare just doesn't like it. We have to admit that Silva needs a smaller jockey.

Silva was ridden by a smaller rider at the recent April Mixed British Show-jumping show at the David Broome Event Centre was back to her best - 4 x double clears at 75 and 80cm and in the placings each time - 2 x 1st (75 Open) and 2 x 4th (80 Open).

Being a schoolmistress, the pony likes to 'nanny' her rider, look after them and show them the ropes.

We have mainly concentrated on show-jumping and she will jump 70 - 1m all day, every day, and very capable at 1.10m. We have also taken part in lots of Junior Academy events.

Silva is forward going but not spooky - happily canters over the wooden bridge in the Derby classes at Wales and West (David Broome Event Centre)

She is a great all-rounder, lovely to hack.

Good on the ground. Excellent to load (both trailer and lorry), clip and shoe. Teeth done September 2023.

Home is very important for this special pony, for her to move on and continue teaching her next little superstar.

Based in West Wales, near Cardigan.
