Super Safe and Fun First Pony – Ziggy

Ziggy is a true little superstar with the kindest nature and the most genuine temperament you could hope to find. Over the past year, he has transformed a very nervous rider—who at times didn’t want to ride at all—into a confident child now jumping at shows and bringing home placings.

He is a fantastic, reliable hack—happy to go out alone or in company, always steady and safe, even with the tiniest of jockeys. Ziggy is equally happy to ride and lead, wait patiently while others canter off, or join in the fun himself. He’s 100% safe in open spaces, on roads, and even loves a beach ride.

Ziggy is light in the hand, never strong, and happily ridden in a straight bar happy mouth. He’s an ideal confidence-giver, taking the smallest riders from their first trots and canters off the lunge to popping around a course of jumps in a rhythmical, balanced way. He’s currently confidently jumping up to 60cm and will jump any XC fence asked of him. He’s attended Pony Club camps and rallies and always behaves impeccably.

On the ground, Ziggy is a total gem—easy to catch, groom, tack up, and lead. Children can do everything with him. He’s excellent to load and travel, has always been barefoot, and is good to clip (just requires sedation for his legs).

Ziggy is now looking for his next little best friend—someone coming off the lead rein or just starting to ride independently. He will gently build their confidence until they’re cantering around the fields in no time. He has been ridden by children of all ages and sizes and always takes care of his rider. He may occasionally put in a cheeky, harmless buck with a bigger rider—but nothing that would unnerve a confident child.

This is an extremely sad sale of a much-loved but now outgrown pony. Serious enquiries only, please—Ziggy means the world to us.
