Spirit is the ultimate heart pony. Bringing my daughters confidence back from the brink after over ponying her. A legend in her own right she is a superb starter jump pony with the holy grail of steady canters. Point and press over a course of fences, she loves her job!
We've had Spirit just over 18 months and in that time my daughter has done everything with her
Showjumping and cross country competitions up to 70cms
Training at home up to 90cms
Arena Eventing
Cross Country
Polocrosse
Mounted games training
This pony comes alive in the ring and can escort the least stable child around the ring, seeing the strides and looking after them.
Spirit is always ears forward, happy go lucky never scowly or marish with her humans, she loves her little people but can be lazy. More whoa than go! With a past in a riding school she is foot perfect and goes from the voice and has immaculate transitions that don't require lots of kicking but she does benefit from the child being able to control a schooling whip. Spirit is not keen on loads of boring circles and flat work, although she is more than capable of strutting her stuff in a nice outline she finds this extremely boring.
Spirit loves to stand around to be fussed hugged, jumped on. Handled daily by the kids, I trust her whole heartedly. Hacks out alone and in company, great in traffic , load, clip, no stable vices (actually a very clean mare), bare-footed she has little shoe boots for hacking and doesn't enjoy the stony ground.
Turns out individually or in a mixed herd but prefers not to be hassled. She can be defensive in a group and will put her ears back and kick if other ponies get too close. We use a red ribbon at events and this has never been a problem for us but it does require managing. On the ground Spirit is a character and needs to go to a home with knowledgeable parents as she has a tendancy to choose her own paddock arrangements.
We really want a fabulous home for Spirit where she can step down to bring another child through the ranks and will not sell to an out an out BS home or big yard and would prefer a private home set up or small livery where she will be treasured.
