It is with a very heavy and sad heart that we have to decided to look for a new home for our Daisy Doo as she is being completely wasted and has so much potential and lots more to give, so please absolutely no time wasters or joy riders.
THIS IS A 100% GENUINE TRUTHFUL AD WITH ALL PROS AND CONS SO PLEASE READ ALL THE DESCRIPTION.
Daisy was brought for my 11 year old daughter nearly 4 years ago as her 2nd pony , unfortunately my daughter had lost all interest in horses around a year ago so we put Daisy on loan for a year hoping my daughter would come back to it unfortunately she hasn't.
Daisy is currently on loan to a mother/daughter share kept at the same yard , her daughter knew the basics but was very novice , Daisy has now taught her to ride and brought her confidence on leaps and bounds , Mum is very experienced with horses and knows what she is doing , Daisy really does know her riders ,for the novice rider she will take care of you and teach you to never be to relaxed or content whist riding, for the experienced rider she will be more forward going , like most horses there may be a possibility she might even test you to see how much she can get away with ,may take the biscuit a little , but once she realises your not going to let her take the biscuit shes an amazing fun ride.
Daisy will hack out alone or in company , she will be more forward going on her own and a little more dramatic, again with regular riding all the drama subsides.
The reason for loan home not purchasing is her 13 year daughter has very long legs and although daisy does take up a lot of leg she is now starting to look quite tall on her so would need something bigger very soon.
We have done pony club rallies, cross country, hunting, beach rides , fun rides ,local shows in hand and ridden always placed and lots of hacking she just takes everything in her stride, Daisy can lead or be lead off another horse , ive done plenty of times , ive lead daisy off my horse with a novice rider or when ive not got the time to ride both horses , never silly or strong , she may neigh which is very loud, sounds extremely dramatic but nothing silly , you can pull Daisy from the field once a year and she would still be the same horse , however she only gets better with regular riding.
Daisy is very low mileage as she was broke at 9 years old by previous owners .
Daisy is still a little green in some areas but with regular riding ,more schooling and furthering her education she will excel in any discipline you wish to do with her.
Daisy is not your typical grumpy face pulling mare , she would stand to be fussed and groomed all day she is very loving.
Daisy is not quite a first pony due to her spooks and dramatic behaviour at times but if a rider knows the basics and is confident she would further your riding ability .
Daisy has never bucked reared or bolted , however she may throw a little buck with excitement nothing ever malicious, she is never silly or strong , as with majority of Welsh ponies she can be a drama queen!!
For example you could be out on a lovely hack then out of no where she will spook/jump at a blade of grass that moved, i swear she does this on purpose to wake her rider up!!.
Daisy is not bothered by big rubbish piles drains anything that would spook a regualr horse shes fine with it all , she is 100% in traffic , however not so keen on tractors or loud fast motorbikes , she likes to be spoken to with plenty of reassurance, we just pull in or over , face the tractor or motorbike so she can see whats coming she is fine, she will pass the tractor if need be , she may rush past it or turn into a fire breathing dragon whilst going past.
Daisy currently lives out 24/7 with my old mare with the odd night in to have a break from the cold weather , she is a very good doer and has never been sick or sorry , no laminitis, but she does fatten up very easy so ive been strip grazing in the summer months , Daisy does know when the electric fence is live or not and will go through them if not live .
Daisy did take the best part of a year to fully settle into her new environment , although she would be stressy and dramatic when brought out of the field without her friend she was never nasty or malicious, she is a dominant mare so will boss other horses around not viciously but made sure they knew their place .
We did find if she was turned out on her own or next to other horses this wasn't an issue, and you wouldn't get the dramatic dragon, when she was brought away from the herd.
Daisy is extremely clever and responds well to learning new things and likes things to be kept intresting.
Daisy is kept on a farm so used to cows and sheep . There is lots of pheasant shooting especially this time of year in all neighbouring fields , every horse on the yard absolutely hates when its a shoot day it unsettles them all .
We have rode daisy on these days , however she is very unsettled, shakes with fear , and will be sweating whilst grooming and tacking up she really does hate the sound of the guns.
Once on her back she will be nervous and a little hesitant but will settle down once past all the shooting , however because of the stress and fear caused by the shooting we decided to not ride out on these days , as she really is petrified of the shooting all the horses are , on some occasions we have loaded the girls up and took them elsewhere for a ride and she is fine.
Daisy will always let you know if something isn't quite right ie teeth , a sore muscle or the saddle not fitting quite right due to body shape change or in season etc, her behaviour will slightly change nothing nasty but you will notice a slight difference.
I would like her new owners to have an understanding of her and not just see it as "naughty" behaviour there will always be a reason for ANY behaviour change with Daisy but she is never nasty or unpredictable.
I think Daisy would suit all types of homes, however I would like her new owners to have some experience and an understanding of horses .
She would suit a novice or experienced rider , riding school , a happy hacker , pony club pony etc this pony can and will do anything you wish to do with her and will excel in any discipline with further education.
She doesn't respond well to a stroppy aggressive approach she becomes more stubborn, although will respond to a firm tone should she need it, Daisy responds well to a kind ,gentle approach as she really does love a good fuss the more you give to Daisy the more you will get from her in every aspect .
We dont have access to a school on our yard , I do have transport and can hire a school for people that have a GENUINE SERIOUS INTREST!!!
I would say she doesn't have any vices ,but can be a bit stressy whilst settling into her new home .
Daisy is good to box , shoe, clip etc
Daisy is up to date with teeth , physio and saddle check .
Daisy will come with a complete wardrobe , saddle that was made and fitted to her , 2 bridles , a mountain of rugs for every occasion , boots , saddle pads, tack trolley and much more.
I am more than happy to send more photos and videos on request , NO TIME WASTERS!!!
