Beautiful true to type fell pony.
Very sad sale of a much loved pony who I have owned since a 2 year old, who sadly hasn't made the height for me.
Dora is a yard favourite, she is loved by everyone who meets her - she loves nothing more than stopping for a chat and a cuddle, and when showing always wants to be the stewards best friend!
Dora has been brought on slowly and correctly. I have done 18 months of ground work with her before backing her, walking her out in hand, long reining her letting her see the world, she isn't phased by traffic, buses, lorries - she will happily pass other horses out hacking with no fuss at all. She has exceptional manners and is regularly handled by an 9 and 11 year old. We are stabled on a working livery yard, and she is used to pigs, cows, tractors, quads and again isn't phased by these - she actually tries to get in the farriers van with him!
She is now ready to bring on in the school and do more out hacking, she has done a bit of hacking alone and in company, in company she is happy to be first, last or in the middle and carries on with what she is being asked to do even if the others canter off etc.
Dora has been ridden in the school by an 11 year old, she is a forward responsive ride and I feel she is the perfect junior pony, she has an excellent temperament and attitude to work and it is a joy to watch them together. She would equally be suited to a small adult.
She is good for her teeth, the farrier, the vet, to clip, travel, bath, load etc. There is very little I could possibly fault her on, she has had a positive first experience for everything!
She turns out with mares and geldings, always comes to call - wants to be your shadow in the field whilst filling the water playing with the hose pipe! Currently out at night and in for a few hours each day, and in winter she goes out daily for a couple of hours and I would like her to stay in a similar routine as she is very happy and settled.
She has been shown in hand and is never out of the top 3. As a 3 year old she had an excellent season, pretty much unbeaten. She was 2nd at Royal Lancs and 3rd at Cheshire, both in big classes with excellent comments from the judges. She attended STARS last year, un phased by the atmosphere and gaining the top mark of the class from one judge which put her joint 12th out of 53.
The right home is absolutely paramount, and if this isn't found she won't go anywhere. I am open to any vets, trainers etc as my priority is finding Dora the perfect home. I could really write about how amazing she is all day.
