Been dreading this day and hearts are breaking just writing this but the time has come for this superstar pony to teach another little jockey how it is done.
Percy has been with us since he was 3 years old and we absolutely adore him! He will only go to a 5* family that promise to stay in touch.
What has this pony done? Well more like what hasn’t he done!
Hugo’s passion is to pony race, so that is exactly what we’ve concentrated on for the last 3 years since Hugo turned 9 and was old enough.
As a racing pony he has been very consistent with numerous wins and placings at both pony club and Point to Point open pony races.
Percy has travelled all over the UK pony racing and absolutely loves it. He is a true schoolmaster on the racecourse who will teach his next little jockey the ropes. Very well mannered at the races, perfect to lead up, tack up and never silly at the start.
Percy has been to Newmarket British Racing School pony racing camp for a week and was an absolute star from start to finish.
Before Hugo was old enough to start pony racing Percy did EVERYTHING! To name a few, hunting, pony club rallies, pony camps, mounted games, numerous local show jumping shows, farmrides, beach rides, hunter trials, dressage etc. He really has done it all.
He has lovely flatwork and works in a great rhythm and shape. Percy moves beautifully and would show or do a lovely dressage test.
Hugo hacks him for hours and hours through the forests cantering about etc with his friends and I just leave him to it. Percy hasn’t really hacked alone as he has always been ridden by kids, so will need work on that.
Always ridden at home and at the gallops by the kids in a snaffle. They do everything with him, from catching him, tacking him up, loading him, bathing him, mucking him out etc.
He is a complete darling to travel in a trailer or horsebox, excellent to catch, shoe, stable, turnout.
Percy does pull grumpy faces in his stable but this has never been an issue! Hugo just ties him up and cracks on. No problem at all to muck out with him in stable etc.
Percy’s halo can occasionally slip and he will have a very mild nap if he doesn’t fancy doing something. So he wouldn’t be for a novice as he needs telling from time to time. However saying this Hugo has ridden him since he was 6yrs old with no real issues.
This pony is very special to us and his new family is priority.
We are based in Whitchurch, Shropshire. I can get numerous references for this gorgeous boy.
