STUNNING 5 year old dun mare. Super honest, fantastic to hack. Autumn Project
Dun & dusted (Dusty) is a 5 year old welsh x type mare. She stands at around 14.3/148cm with plenty of filling out to do.
She hacks out past any kind of traffic, farm animal or commotion. She’s great in open spaces, with water crossings and is very honest to ride. We took her to the beach and she was ridden by a 13 year old who’s never seen her before and she fell in love straight away. She loved it in the sea!
Schooling wise she is a bit green but tries her very best. She has 3 lovely paces. She will have a go at jumping absolutely anything you ask, she’s just so honest so I think she’d make a fantastic 148 pony (as I don’t think she’ll go over) with the right schooling or a lovely all rounder. We’ve been doing some intro dressage tests with her too to build up on her flat work and she’s picking these up quickly.
She is currently schooled by a 13 year old and she rides her in a full cheek snaffle. She’s not strong at all just green but so willing.
She’s great to catch and polite in the stable but she is ear shy. This improves all the time but for this reason I’d say to be a kids pony they’d need horsey parents or horsey helpers to get her bridle on. She’s better if you put the bridle on like a head-collar and bit in last. She’s fine to take the bit but it’s hard to do everything with just two hands when she’s trying to avoid you touching her ears! I’ve ordered a head shy bridle which can be sold with her. This enables you to put the headcollar on and then clip the bit in to save it flapping around while you’re trying to sort her ears. If you twitch her she’s fine to touch them so she just needs to know it’s ok. Ideally if you haven’t dealt with this sort of thing she’s probably not for you.
Overall she’s a super, fantastic pony and a real head turner too! She does have a small hernia but this was checked by our vet who said it’s not a cause of concern and isn’t bothering her.
Dusty as she’s fondly known is looking for her next home where she’d be an ideal project for someone to produce further and put their own stamp on.
