Unique opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding pony who has the talent, temperament and trainability to be, what we believe, is one of the best performance ponies in the World.
The aptly named 'Merrie', was chosen by his owners from the breeder's field five years ago because of his friendly/'merry' disposition.
With them he's had an unspoilt start of hacking in the New Forest (good with crab flies, gates and all manner of forest activities; dog walking to passing children playing on swings!)
In the short time of starting to have a more rounded education - traffic, beach rides, ride and lead, light schooling, an introduction to jumping and cross-country he has astounded his 'younger' rider every day.
Sadly at 50yrs old and 5'10'', she knows she won't be the one to pick up the championship medals but having ridden at international/advanced level eventing and produced Ladybrook Amaretti (138cm HOYS M&M WHP) she's well aware this pony will change someone's life.
His mentality is mind-blowing; calm, uncomplicated and incredibly intelligent.
His natural outline and engagement saw him win on his first dressage outing after just two schooling sessions.
His desire, power and technique over a fence is outstanding - he jumps with an ease and effortlessness and yet the photos show his scope!
Forward thinking but snaffle-mouthed, he has the presence and manners to perform in the show ring and happily canters first, middle or last and will stand quietly and watch others work around him.
Even with his limited training, his attitude means we feel he is ready to find an exceptional home with the dedication required to enable him to realise his FEI eventing / WHP potential. (He also moves very well and has relatives competing successfully in British Dressage but we would not want his jump to be wasted!)
Good in all ways (catch, box, shoe, clip, farrier), up to date on his vaccinations/teeth, clean limbed and open to vet.
Serious enquiries only for this much loved and admired 14hh, dark bay, seven-year-old registered New Forest gelding by Bakeburn Benny.
Please note, we are away over the half-term so he is having a short holiday but we felt we would place his advert now; assess applications (we would like to see videos of his new rider, learn about their experience and coaches on hand, and details of where he would move to) and then enable trials as appropriate when we are back.
Stable/field kept (he is very adaptable!) in the New Forest with outdoor arena and hacking trial facilities.
Guide Price of £15k with owner and rider both intending to retain a silent share.
Please feel free to make contact if you feel you could offer Merrie the home he deserves.

Purdey is a rising 4yo, 13.3 reg New Forest bay mare, by Long Copse Elton.
Lightly backed in 2025, she is very friendly and intelligent, loves her work and is now back in from the winter which she had off and was turned away to mature.
Doing very well with her groundwork and is ready to start again with her ridden work.
Lots of potential with plenty of bone and substance, a lovely project ready for a competent and knowledgeable person to bring on. Would carry a lightweight adult (backed and ridden away by a lightweight lady rider).
Purdey was bought as a 2yo as a companion and is now ready to progress and start work as in her current home she has no rider.
We are looking for an experienced, kind and knowledgeable home for her.
She is good to load, travel, catch, farrier (barefoot), groom, good in traffic. Lives out but does enjoy a snooze in her stable when she does come in!
Based Leicestershire.
