Pedigree New forest mare - Jet set whispering willow by HOYS winner Knavesash knight and you can certainly tell. This beautiful well put together pony, started her working life in the show ring doing well in junior ridden classes before having 2 years off to have a foal (retained by previous owner).

We bought Willow in January after she spent a year with a great young professional show jumper to produce as a project. Within this time she was introduced to cross country, show jumping and even went to pony club. Willow soon remembered her flat schooling from the show ring and really took to the jumping. Willow has a great jump on her. She has been to lots of unaffiliated show jumping competitions and has never come back without a rosette. There she also went out hunting with the bloodhounds and they say it was like she had done it all of her life.

Willow hacks out alone and in company, my 10 year old can have a steady canter on her across a field and she is never strong or silly out hacking. She is in a simple snaffle.
She is used to farm machinery and dogs, and isn’t the spooky type.

Willow is lovely to handle, she comes to call and is always happy to see you. She is great to catch, travels well and enjoys a good groom.

She is up to date with vaccinations and dentist.

Reason for sale is that my daughter has lost confidence and love for riding. Willow is very laid back when out hacking and riding on the flat in the outdoor arena but has proven to be a little too excitable when jumping and too much for her. She isn’t strong she just becomes excited and requires a more experienced teen or small adult as I think she seeks reassurance from her rider only when jumping.

This is such a sad sale as she is a gorgeous pony, she has an immense jump and so much potential equally jumping or in the show ring.

Willow passed a 5 stage vetting when we purchased her in January and a copy of this can still be seen. Previous owner has also said she is happy to speak to any serious enquiries to reference for her.

Comes with full wardrobe - Saddle, bridle and several rugs.
