A fun, versatile little chap with a great personality.
He's been with the current owner for over 2 years, where they've started to show him the world and get him used to every day life, but unfortunately he has just not made big enough for his owner so she has made the tough decision to find him a new home that can do him justice.
He was backed here with us at the start of the year, proving straightforward and trainable. He was walking and trotting, doing polework and hacking very well alone and in company in a month, so went home to tick along hacking about lightly over the summer as he is still growing.
He has come back and whilst here this time has started canter work which he's taken in his stride, popped some cross poles which he enjoys, and has done plenty of hacking alone and in company.
He rides round the fields happily with good brakes whether alone or with others, for either a wander on the buckle or a canter.
He's obviously not the finished product but is showing some nice pieces of work as he gets stronger and more balanced. His transitions are good and he is responsive to your leg but not sharp or shooty. He hasn't been rushed and we'd like someone that will enjoy continuing his education and in return have a smart, versatile pony.
He loves hacking and is confident, happy to lead and has always been sensible with the bigger traffic we have seen inc tractors, lorries etc. He's not spooky, he obviously has a genuine look at scary things but processes and carries on without over reacting. He's used to a farm environment inc tractors, quads, animals, kids etc.
On the ground he has been well handled since a youngster, good to catch, lead, load, travel, clip, bath, groom, trim, for the dentist and vet. He is happy in or out.
He has the odd cheeky baby nibble but is not nasty, just has a character!
He'll turn his hand to a number of things in time, with a genuine, trainable attitude, so is looking for someone after a best mate to produce into their own now. He's a good lad but no novices please due to his age.
