Zoom has been with us since he was weaned, having been purchased directly from the New Forest. Since then, he has been allowed to mature slowly and naturally, grazing and growing up on our farm. Now ready for the next chapter, Zoom is looking for a home where he can continue his education and become someone's best friend.
He has been professionally backed and is proving to be a genuine all-rounder. Zoom confidently hacks out alone, in company, and in traffic. He’s started learning to jump and happily pops around a small course, though we’ve deliberately kept this part of his education light so that his new home can bring him on in whichever direction they choose.
Whether it’s Pony Club, show jumping, hunting, or showing, Zoom has the potential to excel in any discipline. But what truly sets him apart is his exceptional temperament, he is incredibly safe. While his schooling is guided by an adult, he can also be gently ridden by a child. He does not bolt, buck, rear, or kick. He loads without fuss, is good for the farrier and dentist, and is set to become a true confidence-giving pony.
Like many young ponies, he can be slightly nappy when hacking alone, simply due to greenness, but he is never malicious. He does need a rider with a bit of leg to keep him moving forward and, when jumping in open spaces, can become strong but he always remains safe and rideable.
Zoom is easy to keep: happy in a stable, content in a herd (he’s lived with both mares and geldings), and perfectly fine being left alone. He is an extremely good doer and thrives on very little, year-round.
A truly special pony, Zoom stands out for his calm and sensible nature at such a young age. With the right home to continue his journey, he will no doubt grow into a fantastic and confidence-giving partner.
