A super smart, registered Section A Dales Pony gelding, rising 6 years old, approx 14hh. Black, with correct breed type and a kind outlook, he has been home-produced with care and patience since being purchased as a foal.
He is a straightforward, genuine pony to have on the yard and is easy to handle in all aspects; good to shoe, catch, load, travel, worm, and for the dentist. He stands quietly on the lorry at shows and is a low-maintenance pony with an exceptional temperament.
Backed and riding away for the past 12 months, he is snaffle-mouthed, willing, and honest. Successfully shown in limited novice outings last season with encouraging results:
- 1st & Picton Champion & Overall Reserve Silver Medal Champion – NPS Area 11
- Reserve Champion Novice Heritage – BSPS Area 2B
- 1st Novice & Reserve Overall Dales Champion – Derbyshire Festival
- 1st Youngstock & Overall Reserve champion Dales Pony at Royal Cheshire as a youngster
He has taken the show environment very well and he shows the attributes to develop into a competitive Junior or Open prospect in the future.
A versatile pony with a willing attitude; he enjoys hacking and has seen a variety of environments. He has popped a fence and shows a natural readiness to try new things, suggesting he could easily diversify into other disciplines if desired.
This is a genuine, unspoilt pony with a lovely temperament and a solid foundation, offering someone the opportunity to produce him further for the show ring or as a quality all-rounder.
Only for sale as change in direction. Home is of upmost importance. Photos shown are from previous seasons; he has since matured and developed further. Updated photos will follow. Serious enquiries invited.
