Felix combines looks and ability with the kindest temperament.
Very successfully shown in-hand (once) where he won both his classes and went on to be reserve champion. He was mannerly all day, brilliant with my children, on and off the trailer and travelling etc.
He was bought from Ireland in May always with the intention of producing him to sell. He has settled into family life with us brilliantly and for most of that time has lived in a field by himself just casually seeing the children’s ponies coming and going. He loves to see us but is in no way bothered when we leave him behind. He’s also happy with others.
He’s long reined all over the moors by himself and sometimes with my daughter and her pony tagging along and I then took a long time leaning over and getting on and off so he’s very settled in that regard.
He’s very recently broken and riding where he has taken everything in his stride - mainly hacking with a couple of times in an arena (we don’t have one). Good with all the traffic he has seen as well as cows, sheep, goats, dogs, children on bikes etc. He’s also been out a couple of times on our own when I’ve had no one else to go with. In company he will go at the front or back.
This is a brilliant opportunity to purchase a top quality 3yr old that has been slowly and correctly produced to this point. He has all the makings of a top class show pony / WHP and would also make the most perfect all round family pony / mother daughter share. At this stage he would only suit an experienced rider due to his age but there’s no reason why a competent child couldn’t ride him in the near future with knowledgeable parents or professional help in the background.
Clean X-rays taken this summer.

The progeny of Class 3 ponies remain in Class 3 and cannot be upgraded
