Queenie is the most beautiful & flashy 13hh palomino 5yo mare. We have had her since a freshly broken just 4yo and my then 8yo daughter has done loads with her since. She has a huge scopey & willing jump, she schools nicely and is a very kind and easy pony. She is always the first over to you in the field and is very kind to handle. Queenie has regularly attended PC rallies, & private coaching sessions, done fun rides, been to show jumping up to 70 in full up Schools/Club courses, has done XC schooling and competitions. At home Queenie has schooled over 1m without any scope issues at all, but my daughter isn’t ready to compete at that level yet. Queenie would be a fantastic all-rounder, or could be really good Working Hunter as she carries herself in a natural outline and moves very well, and has the benefit of a really scopey jump. She enjoys jumping and doesn’t look to stop or run out. Hacking Queenie is absolutely 100%. We live on Exmoor and regularly hack over open moorland, through bogs, rivers, up and down steep cleaves, and she’s perfect. Living on a farm, she is also well used to heavy machinery and is fine with any traffic, dogs, chickens, bikes, quads and usual children’s antics. Queenie is always the pony we plonk novice school friends on who want to come and have a ride, and she will take even the most nervous or flappy child around the school, over a jump or for a lovely hack, and doesn’t take offence if they bounce about on her or accidentally balance on her mouth. She goes in a snaffle and plain noseband and isn’t strong. Her bad points would be that she doesn’t like the clippers, we are working on it and she’s improving but they’re not her favourite thing, and if she hasn’t been ridden for a few weeks or more when you ask her to work hard in the school she can sometimes give a cheeky kick back when rider puts the leg on. My daughter has never fallen off her and it doesn’t unseat her, in normal work she doesn’t do this.
Queenie loads well in a trailer or lorry. She isn’t nappy and can be left alone in a trailer, or come in away from her field mates without getting silly. She has no health issues, allergies or ailments. She is currently shod as we are on very stony ground, but she could equally well go barefoot in a more normal environment; she has lovely hooves.
We are only selling this super pony as my daughter has become fully committed to pure SJ and we have been lucky enough to buy an out-and-out SJ schoolmaster that she is progressing really well on, and she is not finding time to do enough with Queenie.
Due to our location in the middle of Exmoor (1 hour of winding roads from the closest motorway) I will be briefly sending Queenie to Bobbie-Jo in Bridgewater the near future, to allow trials in a more accessible location, or am very happy to show her to anyone here at home if your happy to make the journey before she goes.
