Delilah is a much loved pony and although I had hoped to keep her one more year, my daughter's long legs say otherwise!

We bought Delilah directly off her breeder as a just backed 4yo. From there, we did a season of lead-rein m&m, lead-rein working hunter progressing to first ridden the following year and adding tiny tots working hunter last year. She was points champion every year, representing her riding club at STARS 3 years running. She also did a couple of affiliated shows being reserve champion and could easily be a RIHS/HOYS pony.

Delilah has been in group lessons and pony club, indoors and outdoors, grass and surfaces. She excels at handy pony - walks over sheets, stands still to post a letter and more recently, really enjoyed a go at mounted games.

My daughter (now aged 10) has done all the work herself, no other riders needed. They learned to canter at the same time, to jump at the same time, everything! Delilah just took things in her stride. She does not alter when at STARS, copes well with a big atmosphere. She hacks out happily but has not been out solo given my daughter's young age. You can leave her for a couple of weeks, get on her and expect her to be exactly the same. She is never in a rush but at the same time, is not a slug. Will just do what she is asked and no more.

Delilah is a real quality pony - clean limbed, straight moving and well put together. AHC at 121.8cm.

Delilah did have a bout of laminitis last summer when living out. She now comes in at night and needs to do so with future owners so she can't binge!

Delilah comes with a native pony bridle, full set of rugs. Saddles available by seperate negotiation.
