• Talent, temperament and trainability to go far
• Ability to step up to 1* or even Pony Trails
• Brave and genuine

Ozzy is a striking 14.1hh 7-year-old gelding with the talent, temperament and trainability to go far in the right hands. Produced and brought on carefully, he has all the foundations in place and now seeks a competitive young rider to continue his journey. This is a very sad and genuine sale of a much-loved pony who is only available as he was bought for me to produce over summer for my younger cousin, but she’s had a teenage growth spurt and now needs something 15hh+.

Flatwork & Jumping:
Ozzy works beautifully on the flat with a balanced, consistent outline and light contact. He’s competed in dressage, scoring 28 at a recent ODE which he won, and achieved 5th place at his most recent event over a BE80 course. He has been 100% XC clear inside the time, showing both bravery and efficiency. At home he schools confidently over 90-100cm courses and has recently jumped up to 1.20m with ease, demonstrating his impressive scope. With three quality paces and a super attitude to work, he is ideal for a rider wanting to progress through NSEA, Pony Club, grassroots BE, and beyond. Judges love his way of going, and in the right hands, I believe he has the ability to step up to 1* or even Pony Trails.

XC & Hacking:
Ozzy has been XC schooling and absolutely loves it, confidently popping ditches, steps, skinnies, water, and trakehners without hesitation. He’s proven himself brave and genuine and we think he would take to hunting brilliantly. He recently attended a fun ride where he behaved brilliantly, going either at the front or back and even stopped at a pub half way round. He hacks out alone or in company, is never nappy, fantastic in all types of traffic, and is a joy to ride in open spaces. He’s previously done beach rides with a 14-year-old and isn’t a silly pony.

Temperament & Handling:
On the ground, Ozzy is sweet-natured, kind and loves attention. He’s easy to catch, good with the farrier, great with dogs (as seen in video!), and enjoys being groomed and fussed over. He stables well, turns out happily, and is a pleasure to have around the yard. While he was a little strong in hand on arrival, this quickly settled with routine and confidence, and he now leads quietly and enjoys being handled. He’s been tied up at shows outside the lorry and stands well to be tacked up and fussed over but he does occasionally shift about if left on his own - I believe this will come as he comes more confident in this situation.

Health & History:
Ozzy is fully up to date with vaccinations, teeth and worming, and passed a 5-stage vetting at the beginning of summer with flying colours. He has excellent feet and is currently shod. He has no lumps, bumps or blemishes. He’s previously done lots of showjumping and working hunter with a 14-year-old rider and has been brought on slowly and correctly. He truly is a wise head on young shoulders.

Home Sought:
Ozzy would suit a competitive teen or small rider looking for a serious all-rounder to have fun with and progress. He would excel in grassroots, Pony Club Champs, Cotswold Cup or BE100+, and with his scope, paces, and bravery, could easily progress to 1* in the right hands. While he’s kind enough for a quieter rider, he’s far too talented to be wasted, so a home with ambition is a must. Price includes a lovely Black Country Saddle, bridle and rugs.
