Foxy is a fun, enthusiastic pony who loves her work. She’d be best suited to an active pony club / riding club / hunting home. Not suitable for a novice and needs a kind rider.
In the past she has Hunted with the Portman and Seavingtonand more recently with Taunton Vale, she loves and knows her job on the field and really looks after her rider.
Currently showjumping up to 70, been xc schooling, fun rides, pony club camps, rallies, and jumped on pony club teams.
Hacks alone and in company, she’s seen farm machinery, trains and quarry vehicles and isn't phased by them.
Foxy has 3 correct paces, changes and basic lateral work. Her previous owner advised that she has all the tools to produce a nice dressage test, but this isn't something we have been really interested in.
She’s easy to do on the ground, she's honest and gentle, she's got such a lovely temperament and nature. She’ll stand for hours to be fussed, loves a good scratch and she doesn't bite or kick.
Foxy enjoys her jumping, when in a good rhythm, she’s quick against the clock. However, she is known to put a stop in when not ridden positively so requires a competent rider. Happy to discuss further.
Good to load and shoe, 9/10 times is easy to catch but can sometimes be difficult, mainly when she’s in season or when being brought in by someone new/ someone she doesn’t trust. She’s very food oriented so bribery often helps!
Turns out with mares and geldings and has been turned out individually, in a pair and in the past with a herd.
Up to date with vaccinations, farrier, physio, dentist and saddler (new saddle purchased in June last year).
Needs to be sedated for clipping - she’s not nasty, just very scared and although we've tried to desensitise her to trimmers and clippers it’s just less traumatic for her to be sedated. We believe she was ear twitched in Ireland which is also why she doesn’t like her ears being touched.
Foxy needs time to build a relationship and trust her person before she comes out of her shell.
Has a number of small melanomas that do not affect her - happy to discuss further. Open to any vetting's and she passed a vetting when we bought her 2yrs ago. Also sensitive to dusty hay - she gets a cough when fed hay but it doesn’t affect her. It’s haylage where we can but if we do give her hay we wet it down.
This pony wants for nothing and has been a much-loved member of the family for the last 2 years. Extremely sad sale due to needing something to jump a lot bigger. We'd love to see her out being enjoyed and be able to keep in contact with her new owner. Absolutely no dealers. 5* home essential for our dear sweet Foxy!
£5,500 comes with bridle & a few rugs. Saddle sold separately.
