BSJA Registered Name : Sunshine Delight (435327)

Sunny is a truly special pony. She has unbelievable temperament and ability. She is scopey, careful and brave with amazing rideability. A lovely balanced canter and good, adjustable stride. Forward but never sharp, she covers the ground well. Nothing fazes her and she loves her job. Amazingly consistent, polite and confidence giving.

We are only selling as my daughter is off ponies this year and Sunny would be wasted if not given the opportunity to help another child to progress on their BSJA journey.

She is a fantastic Novice, Discovery, Newcomer/1m Restricted Rider and Bronze league prospect for 25/26. We have purposely kept her points low so is still in points to qualify all of these classes and jump Second Rounds/Finals. She has never been over jumped. Currently on 164 points.

Sunny has lovely flatwork, auto changes, basic lateral work. She has a good brain, clean footwork and good technique over a fence. She will try her heart out for her rider. She is not a stopper and will take a miss. She is the perfect pony to help a child to learn to ride correctly. Perfect to hack alone or in company. Impeccable manners at shows/stay aways. Has done some dressage, XC and Equitation, but this has not been our focus.

Qualified:

4/4 British Novice Double Clears for 2026 (achieved in 5 outings). Qualified to jump Second Rounds 2026.

2/4 Discovery Double Clears for 2026 at Wales (in one weekend). Will easily get the other 2.

British Novice National Championship Finals 2025

Novice Second Round at Parwood (Double Clear and 5th, qualifying on first attempt).

British Novice 2025 DCs achieved in 5 attempts

Blue Chip Championship 2025- Pikeur Pony Novice Final and Eskadron Pony Discovery Final (qualifying both at first attempt)

Novice second rounds 2024

Discovery second rounds 2024

Blue Chip Championship Sapphire Final 2023

Sunny is perfect for farrier, vet, dentist, to clip and to catch. Easy to handle by a child. Loads and travels without any fuss. Up to date with teeth, vaccinations, physio, etc. Will turn out with mares or geldings. Sunny is a genuinely lovely pony and is a pleasure to own and have on the yard.

A rare opportunity to buy a talented competition pony with the rideability and temperament to help a child progress with confidence. We would only let her go to the very best of homes, where we know she would thrive. If sold, we would like to keep in touch and we would offer her a home back with us if she were to be sold in future.
