Branoc is a 14.2hh, 4 year old, new forest type gelding.

Despite being 4 Branoc is incredibly calm and easy, he’s certainly an old head on young shoulders. He’s good to do in all ways on the ground, loading, bathing etc. Would happily trust him to be handled and ridden by tiny tots. Please don’t let his age put you off, a fantastic way off purchasing an excellent pony whilst also being able to make some money when he has more mileage.

Hacks alone or in company infront or behind, 100% in all traffic and not spooky. Doesn’t mind being left behind if others canter off, easy to hack alone and has been hacked by novices no issues. Great in open spaces never strong or silly, will open up if asked but will come back and walk on buckles end after. Will happily jump hedges/logs out hacking, jumps for fun. Snaffle mouthed for everything.

Schools beautiful on the flat with great uphill paces, would excel in the dressage ring and easy enough for a less experienced rider to learn the ropes. Fluid in transitions actively working on his canter transitions can just rush a few strides in trot but improving daily.

Jumping wise he competed last weekend winning the 60&70cm. Attended a pony club cross country rally proved brave and willing with all fences, ditches, water and steps. Attended two show jumping clinics the second jumping around a course off 80/90cm with all the scope

to go up the heights. Never spooky will fillers etc. He’s adjustable, straight and easy to jump. He will be a seriously competitive jumper.

Been schooled and jumped bridless, responding to the riders seat and leg aids to turn and stop and was incredibly easy to teach and quick to understand. Would be a great prospect to aim towards the british bridless competition with his level head and quick learning if desired.

He has hunted, attended hound exercises and been on fun rides (with his owner). He was calm and easy throughout all and great fun on the hunting field. He’s totally unbothered by my dogs. I’m yet to find anything he says no too or is bothered by! He’s also been ridden and handled by tiny children on and off the leadrein with no issues.

Last summer he was turned out by a stream with loads of midges and did rub his main and tail, he has scratched his tail here a few times but not his mane. Just wanted to mention this to be 100% transparent, could be mild sweetitch but currently not doing anything to prevent it and no issues. Owner hogged him before itching started but currently letting his mane and tail grow out so buyer can decide.

Up to date with everything and currently happily barefoot.

Please note he is 4, id happily stick someone who had never ridden on him to hack but equally he needs a more experienced rider to continue to develop his experience. He’s great on the lead rein also. He’d make an ideal first project to do over winter, if i had the time and funds i’d keep him to do this myself. Equally he’s already a fantastic example off a pony club pony DC reference available. With his scope i also have no doubt he’d be a fantastic showjumping pony, he really could go on to excel across all disciplines and be a seriously competitive pony. He is an out and out kids pony, he’s had a few novice adults view him and didn’t respond to confusing aids. He goes much better for children. Never bucked, reared or bolted.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a young jockey whether that’s to be competitive or just enjoy a versatile easy young pony.

Option for him to stay here and continue his education on schooling livery if desired.

open to all viewings and vettings, no trials or loans due to owners circumstances. Deposit will secure him fully refunded should he fail the vet which i highly doubt.

Price to include tack.

Based in Taunton, Somerset. Indoor arena with lights available for viewings after school. Happy too help arrange transport.
