This is NOT an easy sale – Minty owes us nothing and will only go to the BEST of homes. References required.
Minty is truly every child’s dream pony. He has safely and confidently taught all three of our daughters to ride properly, and is the perfect first or second pony. Over the years, he’s done it all – Pony Club camps, PC Areas, British Dressage Quest comps, one day events, slip collecting, ride and lead, stay-away shows, and endless hacking. He’s beautifully schooled up to Medium level, and he adjusts effortlessly between teaching a novice child and stepping things up for a more experienced rider.
He happily pops around 60cm, hacks alone or in company, and is great in all traffic and open spaces – often leading the way for our youngsters. He’s easy in every way: he loads himself into the lorry or trailer, clips, catches, trims, and stands quietly all day without fuss.
He can be left for weeks and picked straight back up with no change in behaviour. Despite being 21, Minty is still full of life and energy, and retiring him now would be a waste of his wonderful temperament and ability.
He does have cushings, easily managed with half a tablet a day, but he has always been cared for to the highest standard – teeth, physio, worming and farrier up to date throughout his life.
We’re looking for a loving, knowledgeable family home where he’ll be cherished, well-cared for, and enjoy a varied life.
Please no timewasters. This is a very difficult decision and we will only let him go to a truly special home.
