A seriously handsome and extremely lovable, cheeky cob looking for his perfect partner. He has a huge personality, plenty of presence, and all the makings of a fantastic all-rounder.
Don’t let his height fool you as he’s a solid, substantial lad who takes the leg well and feels much bigger to ride. Rider in pics 5ft 6.
Duke is a good doer and has been kept healthy and well on a simple natural balancer. He has strong solid hooves and is barefoot even with road work.
He’ll happily live in or out.
Up to date with teeth/vacs/physio/farrier
He is good to hack/farm ride in company and will sensibly gallop in a group without getting strong.
He’s in regular, varied work and is ready to start going out and building on his competition experience. Equally he will be happy with a less competitive rider as long as he’s kept active. He’s more of a sports cob than a dobbin.
He has so far been to arena hires, farm rides, gallops and some low level SJ.
He’s worked at home within whiteboards.
We aim to get him out to some XC schooling and the beach next.
He has naturally balanced paces and shows real promise over a fence. He is a bold and willing jumper and once he understands what is being asked, gives everything a go. With the right rider to continue his education, he would be a super competition jumping pony.
He likes to stand and be groomed, cuddled and scratched. Although don’t leave anything precious within his reach as he’ll have it in his mouth, swinging it around in no time!
Ive done some clicker training with him which showed me how clever he is. It’s helped create a great bond between us.
Duke would suit a confident and capable older child for Pony Club or an active adult rider wanting a fun and versatile partner. He is still relatively low mileage for his age. He was backed at 3 then left so didn’t start ridden life properly until aged 5.
Because of this he is not for a novice or a small child and needs someone kind, consistent and switched on who will continue to give him the education and experiences that will make him a really great type that everyone wants.
He can be a little cheeky at times (true cob fashion!) and may throw an occasional buck when fresh, particularly in winter if turnout is restricted. (I am middle aged and unfit and can sit them no problem).
Because of this, he would thrive in a home with plenty of turnout or a varied, active lifestyle where he can stay busy and happy.
He can be a little unsure when hacking alone but this is improving all the time. He just needs a little reassurance and gentle encouragement from his rider.
Duke is a truly special pony with so much character, charm and untapped potential. He will make someone an amazing best friend and a brilliant all-rounder.
Comes with bridle, rugs and possibly saddle.
This is a much loved pony, so finding the right match is an absolute priority. If I weren’t too big for him, he wouldn’t be going anywhere.
