Genuine sale as sadly outgrown.

Gambit was bought as a first pony for our daughter aged 9 (now 12) and has taught her how to ride and more importantly given her a love of horses and a confidence and happiness that only a bond with a pony can give. From day 1 she has looked after him herself - he is really easy to do and very kind in the stable. We go to the beach a lot, ride on open moorland and hills and go to pony club rallies / camps and various NSEA competitions. He competes comfortably from 60 cm to 75 cm and regularly jumps 80-90 with the occasional 1m at home. He is able to make tight turns in a jump off and is much loved at home, PC and on our school equestrian yard.

He loves hunting, XC, showjumping, Tetrathlon, gymkhana and hacking out. He is always keen and never mean, but is definitely a second pony as is forward going. He is always happy to go and do something – we make up random things to do and to jump all the time. Great in every way - load, travel, catch (no headcollar needed), shoe, clip and safe with traffic, loud machinery, dogs and farm animals. He suits a confident and capable rider that loves to jump. He is so patient and sweet natured and will happily stand for ages if you want to give him fuss and attention .

Jumped clear at NSEA Grassroots at Hickstead 2024 in both Team 50 and 60cm, and within 0.49 second of optimum time. Can ride and lead or be led. His wonderful temperament (regularly gets ridden backwards, jumped bareback or with no reins or no stirrups etc) is not to be missed – he doesn’t have a bad bone. He has been featured on front cover of Pony Magazine and has a Prophet’s thumbprint. He is fast - our Head PC instructor thinks he would be brilliant at pony racing - we have only played at home with this and it was going to be the next thing we tried with him.

The only thing we haven’t done is much dressage as it’s not my daughter’s interest. Sad sale as the whole family adore him but my daughter is very tall for her age and has outgrown him. Vices - He doesn’t like his one ear being touched, can be a little sensitive and he can pace at a hunt meet or in a stable if bored.

5 star home essential - we would love to stay in touch. Based in Herefordshire. Sale includes full wardrobe (saddle was purchased and fitted for him) Whatsapp Joanna 07977 22 89 45 for more photos / videos or look at #gambitthepony on Instagram.
