Reduced as owner needs a quick sale. Troy is a gorgeous 14.1h 12 year old registered Newforest dun gelding. He is for sale on behalf of his owner. He is such a sweet gentle soul who is very easy to have around. He is such a good looking pony with his golden coat and striking dapples, a real head turner. He has good conformation, clean legs, straight movement and is blemish free. He is also barefoot with good horn quality. Being a native Newforest he is a lovely size for small adults to enjoy as well as teenagers. He is a lovely alrounder type who loves his jumping and hacking but is green and has low milelage so is looking for a confident experienced rider.
Troy is green in the school and therefore not suitable for nervous or novice riders. He likes a quiet balanced rider who has a bit of feel. He has good basic schooling established but needs a bit more producing from an experienced rider to be able to reach his potential. He is a responsive forward going ride who only needs very light aids. He hasn’t had much arena work in the past due to his owners preferences but is now coming along very well and progressing each ride. We are just looking for the right rider to now continue his education and put some more miles on his clock. In time I think he will make a cracking child’s pony but he isn’t ready yet. He is such a genuine boy who wants to please and has a good work ethic, he isn’t spooky, he never bucks, rears or naps. If he is unsure of his rider he will just be hurried and shoot forward, so he needs someone confident that isn’t going to be worried about this and then he is actually very straight forward.
Troy loves his jumping, he is very honest and genuine into his fences. He makes a lovely shape and is very careful. He jumps from trot or canter. Again he hasn’t done loads of jumping but he has certainly taken to it like a duck in water. He has been to a few clear rounds as well as xc schooling. He was fabulous at xc, he went over everything asked of him in a very relaxed manner and he actually ended up being the lead horse. He jumped a wide range of fences including a ditch, steps, water, timbres, tyres ect. He had such an amazing attitude at xc, very bold over his fences, very confident in his own skin, wasn’t at all bothered where the other horse was, went first or last and was just perfect! He will definitely excel as a jumping/ xc pony and would make a fabulous pony club pony for a confident teen rider. He forms such a strong bond with his rider and is the type of pony that would do anything for you when he trusts you.
Troy is really good to hack alone and in company. Hacking is what he has done the most of. He is a nicely forward going ride to hack where you haven’t got to nag him with your leg. He is excellent in traffic including Lorries and motor bikes, he currently hacks straight out onto a busy through road. He is also very sensible in open spaces and will canter around stubble fields and tracks very sweetly. He will go in any order also but does like to walk out well so is usually towards the front. He is also good to canter alongside other horses and doesn’t get excitable. He would be perfect for someone wanting a best friend to enjoy hours of hacking with and fun rides ect.
Troy is a very sweet pony with a lovely quiet temperament. He can be a little shy of new people but nothing a treat doesn’t solve (he loves his food). He has very good manners and is good to catch, lead, groom ect. He is nervous of his back feet being touched and picked up, I think this can be easily over come when he has a one to one bond with his owner. So he does need some work and practice put into picking his back feet up, he currently has a tube of oral sedation to have his back feet trimmed whenever they need doing. He is just unsure and worried but isn’t at all nasty. He is very easy to have around, he doesn’t mind whether he lives in or out, alone or in company, he just goes with the flow. He is also a very calming influence on other more stressy horses so makes a very good companion.
Troy is for sale on behalf of his owner as he sadly wasn’t the right match, he was a little too green and forward going. So he is looking for an experienced home with a confident rider. He will make someone a pony of a lifetime as he is very rewarding to ride and really does love to please. Priced at £3,250 to reflect that he is green and that he needs work picking his back feet up.
