Childs Schoolmaster Needed

• Next pony up wanted for 9 year old boy
• We need a 13.2-14 hands schoolmaster

Looking for something a little more forward now after our first ridden but must be sensible please - my son can get very nervous at times still and still unbalanced at times so please nothing too crazy fast / strong and 100% no bucking/ bolting/ rearing or too whizzy.

My son loves dressage so looking ideally something that will do a nice balanced prelim test with good paces. As well as attend pony club rallies/ competitions/ camp and local shows so an allrounder is a must.

We need a pony who travels well and doesn’t change in temperament away from home and also if it doesn’t get ridden for a week.

Jumping is still something my son can lack in confidence so we need a pony who is genuine and can take him around a 40cm now in trot without him having to constantly kick but would be also be happy stepping up to cantering 60cm courses when he is ready.

Must be happy to hack alone with me and the dog on foot and at times with other horses as company.

Must not get silly/ excited in open spaces or out hacking. My son wants to have fun and not be scared.

Please no youngsters with potential - I need a legend of a pony who will teach my son the ropes.

I need the type of pony that is too special to advertise.

What we can offer - Lovely yard with year round turnout, small mare or gelding herds, off road hacking, huge arena, lovely big stable and the same routine each day.
Pony will be loved so much and be part of the family. Will have a nice varied life with lots of support around to help the partnership grow.

Happy to wait until the end of summer for the right pony. References available and pony will require references too.


Looking to loan or buy - budget around 6k
