Roger is a much-loved, genuine family pony who has been with us since he was two years old. He is only for sale because his teenage rider has sadly lost interest, and finding him the right long-term home is extremely important to us. If he were only a few hands higher he wouldn't be going anywhere, sadly I am too big for him!
Roger has a wonderful, affectionate nature and genuinely loves human company. He is brilliant to catch, can be caught by children or adults and will happily follow you around the field just to be involved. He loves being groomed, pampered and fussed over.
He has been ridden by children aged eight and thirteen, as well as small adults. Roger can be steady and sensible when required, but he also has another gear and will step up to be a fun and forward when asked. He enjoys his work, loves getting out and about and I'm sure will turn his hoof to almost anything.
Roger recently attended a local show, an arena hire to jump, pole clinics and has even tried horse ball, during every outing he was an absolute star, not putting a foot wrong. He has approached each new activity and environment with a trusting, willing attitude and generally takes things in his stride.
He hacks alone or in company and is excellent in traffic. He is unfazed by tractors, heavy goods vehicles, rattling trailers, roadworks, chainsaw, bicycles and dogs.
He is good for the farrier and vet and is straightforward to clip and bath. Roger is barefoot with good feet, has never had laminitis and can live either in or out throughout the winter. He has lived happily with both mares and geldings and is easy to share a field with. He doesn't get stressed when companions leave him or he leaves them.
Roger would make a fantastic lead-rein or assisted first-ridden pony, suit a child progressing with support, or make a versatile family pony. He has plenty to offer a family wanting to enjoy hacking, Pony Club activities, clinics, local shows, poles, horseball and jumping.
Up to date with influenza and tetanus vaccinations and worming. Open to vetting.
Knowledgeable, loving home essential for this very special pony.
