Tonic is a super striking, talented 14.2hh, 6 year old Connemara gelding who oozes quality. He has three smart, balanced paces and a fantastic presence.

Backed as a 5-year-old last year by myself, Tonic has been produced carefully with his future in mind and has proven to have a fantastic attitude towards his work. He is incredibly trainable and continues to improve with every outing.

He is a real eye-catcher on the flat, with plenty more to come. He has showjumped up to 90cm, showing great scope, bravery and a careful jump. He has also recently started his eventing career, completing 2/2 double clears in the GOBE80s, finishing inside the top 10 on both occasions.

I would love to see Tonic excel with a competent, competitive teenager who can continue to produce him, as he has the ability and scope to progress through the levels in eventing, British Dressage or as a WHP.

Tonic absolutely loves his cross country and has a fantastic attitude, he has never said no! He has been hunting once, jumping plenty of hedges, and has also been to the beach!

He is a pleasure to handle and is perfect for the farrier, clipping, loading and travelling. He will stand happily by the lorry all day and is a real gentleman on the ground. No vices, N/N HWSD.

I genuinely believe that in the right hands Tonic is a very special pony. He is not a novice ride and would suit a sympathetic, competent rider who understands that he is a talented pony with a sensitive side. He is never naughty, he doesn’t buck or rear, but he is a competition pony and needs an experienced home.
He hacks alone and in company however he is nervy with big traffic (lorries and tractors) so would suit a home with off-road hacking or quiet roads.

A fantastic opportunity for someone looking for a quality pony with a very exciting future ahead.
