Autumn is a beautiful little cob mare with the sweetest nature. She’s kind, affectionate, and genuinely everyone’s friend on the yard. Bought originally for my daughter (who rode her twice before switching to football!), she’s ended up being my pony — and if I were smaller, I wouldn’t be letting her go.
• Lovely temperament – loves fuss, scratches, and settles well in any herd
• Great to handle – polite, forgiving, very trainable – ideal first pony for a child or small adult
• Brilliant in traffic and out hacking – takes most things in her stride
• Tries her heart out in the school – placed 6th in a local Intro dressage league
• Enjoys pole clinics and will happily pop small jumps
• Great feet, barefoot, never had laminitis, easy to keep, up to date with everything
• Comes with full wardrobe including new Kent & Masters GP saddle, rugs, and matching LeMieux set
(Finding a saddle to fit her took 9 months — this one fits beautifully, so ideally it goes with her.)
The honest bit:
• Farrier/clipping:
She used to be very wary of male trimmers/farriers and needed sedation. With positive-reinforcement desensitisation she now picks her feet up happily and is fine for the farrier.
She used to need sedation to be clipped. She can now be clipped without sedation, but her legs are tickly — clipping feathers may need sedation or patience (I’ve done it without, but it was one leg per day!).
• Feed/energy:
She’s had a couple of “turbo canters” with me (not bolts) when she was on much more hard feed and feeling exuberant in an open field. This is rare and she’s always come back immediately.
For balance: she’s cantered side-by-side with a young TB and other horses many times and been her usual steady self. My novice daughter also had a canter on her in an open field after she’d not ridden for months; Autumn was good as gold.
• Management:
She’s on hay and a bit of chaff for supplements. She doesn’t need extra feed. She’s muzzled in spring because she’s such a good doer.
• Schooling:
She loves hacking and in the school, she sometimes plants her feet for a moment when she realises it’s “school time”. This is easily ridden through by any level of rider, and once she’s going she tries her best. One of the videos shows this and how quickly she moves on from it.
• Vetting:
Minor vetting history which I will happily disclose to serious buyers.
