Sadly the time has come to find a new home for Rolo. Rolo is a 12hh, 18yr old all rounder lead rein/first year first ridden pony.

He has been a huge part of our family for the past 5yrs since my daughter was 3yrs and he is her absolute best friend. Rolo has done a bit of everything with us- pony club, camps, hunting, hacking, fun rides, SJ, ODE and dressage. He’s qualified for the NSEA introductory dressage at Hickstead for the past 2yrs and could make a great lead rein show pony. He has been amazing with my daughter, niece and endless friends adjusting himself to suit their levels and capabilities. He is telepathic in their abilities and always seems to look after little ones. He is responsive to voice and the leg.

However, Rolo is forward and will teach kids to ride! He is utterly perfect as a smart leadrein and FYFR pony, and has been an awesome 2nd pony for my daughter who is confident with speed, but he is a terrible 1.5pony!!! (He will put in a buck and needs a competent rider at this stage). He is therefore absolutely best suited to small kids still on the lead rein or just coming off the lead rein.

Rolo is a character. He is happy to stand and be painted, pampered and dragged around. However, if there is the chance of food he will always head straight for it. He will talk to you endlessly and always let you know if he is hungry, cold or just wants a cuddle. He really has been a very special pony for us and we are looking for a wonderful family home for him where he can continue to be loved and pampered ideally taking young kids from their first rising trots to a canter around a little ODE.

No injuries, lami (but he is carefully managed) and perfect to shoe, clip, bath etc. He lives in at night (day in summer) and loves nothing more than a cosy stable, a big rug and lots of hay!!! Turns out with others (only been out with geldings with us). Amazing in all traffic, with dogs etc. A real family pony.

We will vet all potential homes and he will only go to the very best experienced family homes, no livery yards. Endless videos available.
