We bought Minnie to give my daughter confidence after some nasty falls from her previous pony. Most recently my son has been riding her and she has been a part of the family for 3 years.

We have done everything with Minnie including pony club, showing, show jumping, xc, hacking. We have jumped her up to 50cm although generally up to 40cm at competitions. My son is moving onto my daughter’s bigger pony and Minnie is without a job, being wasted in the field.

On the flat Minnie is more kick than go. She is good as a lead rein/just coming off the lead as she will follow you around. She will pop around a small course of jumps nicely with a little jockey, but with more scary jumps she needs someone to run along side her, or a more confident jockey as she takes her confidence from rider/adult.

She has won multiple SJ competitions and eventer challenges with my son this year.

She has been to pony club camp every year since we bought her and my sons favourite thing is cantering up the hill at the end of camp with his ride.

She is good for farrier and loads beautifully/travels well. We clip her every year without sedation but we do bib or Irish clip as she’s not keen on ticklish areas.

She can be marish so we keep her on oestress supplement which works well for her. She is handled mainly by my children and goes out in the field with geldings.

Up to date with farrier etc. Tack and some rugs included.
