Rio.
Rio is a cracking pony with lots to give. She has qualified for POYS and competed at STARS in her previous home, proving to enjoy competition. When out and about she is always chilled out. With us at our first showing show my daughter and her won junior ridden champion and she got a rosette in every class we had entered. However, Rio is Not a novice ride and needs a very experienced and competent handler and confident rider as she pushes boundaries and can be pushy when handled if she lacks a firm but fair leader.

She is never strong and has perfect brakes. She’s very voice commanded on the lunge and works nicely. Rio has been to the beach with us twice and was not strong whatsoever, she always comes back to you when you want to slow down. She loves hacking and is in no way spooky with a confident rider.

Throughout her life she’s done a bit of everything, xc, showjumping etc, with her previous owner. Again in the past before she came to us she went out doing low level eventing mainly for fun and competed at jumping competitions around 80/90cm but with my daughter around 50/60.

Rio and my daughter just aren’t clicking after a year of having her and my daughter is struggling with confidence which we feel Rio thrives off of someone who is confident. For this reason we found it in Rio’s best interests to find a new home. She would really excel with the right person.
She has in the past reared on the ground with my daughter and others due to lack of confidence and her more pushy character. This is being worked on so she can find a perfect home.
