Very loved superstar all rounder, Ted, is looking for his next best friend!
Ted is a stunning chestnut Welsh D gelding with an extensive CV as a top quality young rider’s all rounder, and all the qualities to be the ultimate best friend. He has done just about everything, from galloping across open fields with the hounds, to being ridden bareback in a head collar. Most importantly, he’s been his current jockey’s utter soulmate for the past 3 years.
Ted’s superstar CV:
⭐️ All Pony Club activities
⭐️ Multiple seasons hunting
⭐️ Quick show jumping up to 80cm
⭐️ Successful showing - a true eye catcher!
⭐️ Completed hunter trials
⭐️ Great to hack in company
⭐️ Ridden easily bareback and in a head collar
⭐️ Beach rides, fancy dress and just about all other kid-related fun you can think of!
⭐️ Good to do for farrier, dentist, clipping, travelling, etc.
Ted is the sort hard to come by, however, as most Welsh ponies do, he does have a few quirks that make him more suitable as a 2nd pony.
Ted’s quirks:
🌀 Can be bolshy - typical Welsh! This is nothing unmanageable, his current 14yo jockey and both mum/dad can handle him no problem. However, this does mean he requires a capable handler and confident rider when out and about.
🌀 Reluctant to hack out alone. This can be resolved with a stern word, persistence and ultimately consistency. He is capable of hacking out alone absolutely fine, but when out of practice can be stubborn and nappy. On the flip side, he is fabulous and easy as anything in company.
🌀 Requires some field/diet management. Ted is sensitive to certain plants and foliage, and so needs his field to be free from these to keep him happy and healthy. This is very manageable - more information will be provided on this upon enquiry.
As already made clear, Ted’s sort is hard to come by, and even harder to say goodbye to. He is only for sale due to his current jockey outgrowing him and the family simply not having the facilities to keep him alongside the next horse. His rider, and the whole family, is heartbroken to be looking for a new person for him - 5* home is of utmost importance.
Serious enquiries only - this is not an easy sale for the family. Open to offers to see him in the perfect home. Loads of photos and videos available upon request. If interested, please contact Sarah Hindle (instructor) on 07930 428034. We are happy to answer any questions, we just want to find the perfect person for our Ted.
