Mill Leat Daphne
13.2 mare
7 yrs
Dartmoor Hill Pony with more than a strong resemblance to Connemara.
Suitable for brave and competitive child who wants a fun, fast and capable jumping pony, equally good for small adult. Absolutely not a first pony.
Same home since 2 yr old as a companion for dressage mare but too good to be field ornament so backed and ridden since 4 years old. Ridden by adult (me, tall, veteran) done some RC, XC clinics, a Cotswold Cup ODE, fun rides, but more focus on show jumping and hacking. Not much competing or schooling because she’s way too small for me (I’m 5’9) and I’m not particularly interested in riding a pony, I have my dressage mare.
She’s fast and sharp and clever, jumping is her thing and she loves it. Flat work is fairly bad because I’ve let her go in the jumping direction, it’s what she wants to do.
She’s strong, sometimes spicy, massive fun, very pretty, and a brilliant jumper ready to take the sport seriously. Well behaved and mind on the job in an arena, can be spicy in open spaces in company. Currently at 70/80 cms, she would do more but I am too big for her and too chicken.
She is a classic native, tough and problem free but prone to weight gain and must be on restricted grazing year round. Luckily she loves being in and is easy peasy to look after. She’s used to a quiet family home but she would love to be in a busy competition yard and would find that fun.
All vaccinations/worming/teeth up to date. Clipping, traffic, loading (7.5 tonne), farrier all fine. Currently barefoot with excellent feet but has been hot shod and fine with that too.
Sale to include Henry James bridle and complete rug collection. Difficult to sell her as I’ve got very fond of her, but she really ought to get on with a job.
