- Experienced home on farm awaits with lightweight adult rider
- I’m searching for a best friend with a safe, fun attitude to life
- Gelding preferred (due to 2 mares on had already)
I’m on the lookout for a fun but safe set of hooves, ideally fitting the following criteria:
• 148-158cm
• gelding
• under 15 years (this is non-negotiable)
• must travel on a trailer
• must hack alone and in company without major quirks inc. napping and bucking
• must be a nice person to handle, no kickers
• horses with veterinary history considered with full disclosure, but no rehab projects
• bonus if they already know how to ride and lead (I have small children)
• something that doesn’t need riding every day and wouldn’t mind a break of up to a week between riding when necessary (I’m a nurse and work shifts)
• able to turnout in a mixed herd (1 other gelding and 1 mare, next to another mixed herd of 3)
In return I can offer:
• experienced (lifelong pony/horse owner) home
• daily turnout come rain or snow
• reasonably competent riding! I’ve previously competed at BE Novice and done lots of BD but have ridden very little in past 18 months
• I have a soft spot for thoroughbreds, but would prefer them to have some life experience outside of racing
• ideally I’d like to do some BD, some low level jumping clinics (90 ish) and lots of hacking. If I haven’t lost my nerve then maybe some low-level BS and BE
• I’m 5’3” and pretty consistently about 55-56kgs so ponies are welcome
• my horses are looked after to very high standards and want for nothing
Please send asking price along with initial information. Realistic budget available.
I’m based in Cambridgeshire but willing to travel for the right horse/pony
