I SPY
Unfortunately the time has come to find my little nemo a new home. It’s time for him to go out and show the world what he’s made of and have some fun with a child. He’s currently out of work, wouldn’t take much to get him back into work at all - my youngster has just been broken in and taking up all my time hence the sale, just lack of him which he deserves.
Nemo is a 12.2 piebald, 8 year old cob.
Over the years we have had so much fun together and done everything including:
- Hacking (alone/company/front/behind)
- Showjumping
- Cross country (competition/schooling)
- Beach ride
- Sponsored rides
- Natural horsemanship camp (groundwork)
- Pony camp
- Pole work
- Long reining
- Showing (in hand/ridden)
- Gridwork
- Lunging/double lunging
- Free schooling/jumping
- Pub hacks
- Hacking with a bike
- Dressage
I have documented his whole journey on my Facebook page under the album ‘Nemo’ where there is hundreds of photos and videos. References available.
He’s been ridden by all ages, and is happy to go on/off lead rein when needed. With incredible manners on the ground. He is also happy to ride and lead. Absolutely bomb proof in all traffic, happy to lead past the biggest of traffic.
Nemo is also an angel to travel, trailer or lorry… load first or last.
Nemo has mane and feather to die for… placing first in best coloured and qualifying for hickstead. He’s a real quality stamp of cob with some lovely comments from showing professionals. He has recently had his mane chopped for maintenance during the winter. He can be a little unsure about his feathers being brushed out and can fidget but with a second pair of hands of someone holding him telling him he’ll be okay he stands.
Schooling/in the school he is established in walk and trot but the canter is green, due to his age I haven’t pushed or rushed him in the school but it wouldn’t be hard to get the canter going more due to being a quick learner and always wanting to please - he’s more than happy to canter following someone out hacking.
He previously spent 2 summers on livery with me where I work where he had so much fun. We spent hours hacking over 100 acres of land alone and in company, bareback in the summer and is perfect in open spaces.
Stables beautifully, super clean in the stable and manners to die for in/out the stable. Comes in alone and won’t make a fuss, happy to lead with another horse no matter the size, or in a 3.
He also completed summer camp with a couple of little girls where he did all activities with them.
Nemo has had the winters off with me, due to wanted him to mature correctly and spend time just being a young pony. This has done him the world of good. Has come back into work each time after time off like he never had time off.
He’s been clipped twice with me which he was great about, one bib clip and one full body out apart from legs - couldn’t part with his feathers! he was super!
Nemo does have fleshy mouth which is soothed with the correct bit (peewee bit) and gentle hands while riding. He has two wolf teeth which he hasn’t had removed has as not causing any problems.
He is dominant in the field, would suit individual turnout or with another pony who will stick up for themselves.
He wears a nose net to help with the pollen, more so in the summer but I have kept it on all year round and it has helped his nose flick.
More than happy to answer any questions anyone has, I can’t stress enough how wicked this little pony is, and is he was bigger he wouldn’t be going anywhere. I want the best for him and that means letting him go.
Looking for a 5* home and all potentially buyers will be asked for references.
Many photos/videos available! Based 10mins from Gatwick.
Can come with bridle which already has his peewee bit on and his rugs at extra.
