Silva has taken my daughter from jumping 70cms to now jumping 1.10m+
Bronze League finalist in 2022 (placed 6th in UK)
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.
