Spirit is a well-loved, beautiful and very sadly outgrown pony. He has done and won pretty much everything from ODE to Pony Club, BE80, Tetrathlon, beach rides, dressage, camps, fun rides and a small amount of hunting. He does not feel nor act his age and has plenty of years left in him.
We have owned Spirit for 5 years and most of his history is known. He has great ground manners and is easy to shoe. He loads and travels well, hacks alone or in company, turns out with mares or geldings, he has great feet and is easy to keep. Spirit is beautifully schooled and would suit an older child or lightweight adult.
He is more of a second or third pony because he teaches riders to ride with their seat. He can become strong if the rider clings onto his mouth. However, if the aids are applied from the seat, he is not strong at all, so he is a perfect pony to teach or reinforce this lesson. He loves jumping and is quick against the clock.
My daughter won many classes they entered together, and he was very successful with his previous owner too (their BE results are under Spirit XIII). He's a real softie and would live in the house if allowed; a kind home is essential.
Tack and wardrobe available by separate negotiation.
