Raffles is a 144cm, 14 year old new forest pony. He was bought as first pony for our daughter but just is a bit much for her hence the sale. He is a lovely pony with lots to give for the right rider. Would suit as a second or third pony. Raffles is very versatile pony having done working hunters, low level dressage and showjumping 70-80cm whilst jumping higher single fences at home.
He has hunted before and is bombproof to hack and isn’t fizzy in open spaces. He has a cheeky but loving personality. He works nicely in a contact and while he is more woah than go he has the ability to go forward nicely. Whilst jumping he is much more forward, will jump from a dodgy stride and doesn’t mind any filler. Raffles doesn’t get fresh if he hasn’t been ridden for a few days and has been ridden by novices though we would like him to go to a home with someone more experienced.
Raffles is registered and we think he’d be a cracking show pony. He is walks straight up to you from the paddock, hes good to shoe, load etc… He can sometimes have a buck though we have found with a balanced rider this is very rare. He has only done this twice with a novice rider with unclear aids. Raffles recently passed a two stage vetting when we bought him and we are happy to discuss any other details.
Raffles has very mild arthritis which has been treated with cartrophen. Price includes brand new Kent and masters GP saddle and two bridles. We are open to most offers. Please text only (no calls) for videos and more information. +4407939647199
