- A ROSETTE MACHINE LOOKING FOR HIS NEXT JOCKEY!
- He knows his job, loves his jumping and is ready to get back to doing what he knows and loves best!
Very experienced competition pony ready to take his next jockey around the courses and bring home the rosettes!
Finn has a good BSJA record, including podium wins alongside plenty of other fantastic results. He knows his job, loves his jumping and is ready to get back to doing what he knows and loves best!
Finn was bought for my daughter, who had her heart set on taking him affiliated showjumping. However, as children do, her interests have now taken a different direction, with Working Hunter and XC clinics becoming her priority, Sigh!
This is definitely NOT Finn's calling! He wants to get back out doing what he loves and does best – showjumping!
Finn would ideally suit a jockey coming out of the 128s and ready to make the step up to 138 ponies. He is a very experienced, clever and switched-on pony who knows exactly what's required of him. He doesn't look at spooky fillers or wings and when asked, has the gears to turn on against the clock.
We have schooled him around courses of 90 at home, and he is certainly not a pony ready for a quieter life. He still has plenty of rounds left in him!
Out and about Finn warms up nicely and doesn't nap in the ring. He enjoys his job and is a pony who wants to get on with the task in hand.
A few things worth knowing about Finn:
- Not a novice ride. He is a clever, switched-on pony who needs an established jockey, he has taught my daughter the ropes jumping so he did step down, but it took some getting use to for my daughter.
- Ridden in a snaffle, jumped in a two ring.
- Can be a little lazy during flatwork and may occasionally throw in a buck when you have to get after him in the school. This isn't malicious, but something worth being upfront about.
- Super easy to clip and good for the farrier and vet.
- Prefers to be turned out on his own, although he currently shares turnout with an older pony at home.
- Lives on a farm and is accustomed to farm machinery, cows, dogs, chickens and ducks.
- No known medical issues and has never been sick or sorry during his time with us.
- Finn is looking for a knowledgeable, competitive jockey who wants to get out there, have fun and enjoy a pony who knows his job.
THIS BOY IS NOT READY TO HANG UP HIS JUMPING BOOTS! He has plenty more to give, plenty more courses to jump and plenty more rosettes to aim for. A genuine competition pony looking for his next partnership and someone who can make the most of everything he has to offer.
Comes with his full wardrobe, saddle by separate negotiation. Up to date with vaccinations, teeth & regular sports massages.
