Bought as a mounted games pony and she has been the best thing I've ever bought. Her career has been fully devoted to mounted games until she came to us. She is just wonderful, she knows the games and knows what is expected. Stands 100% still on the start line, stands for the equipment, stands for a changeover, will trot for a vault or stand for a stirrup. The only race thats a no go is the balloon pop.
With us she has had a much more varied life, She's simply a wonderful kids pony with just enough shetland qualities to keep life fun, but never unsettling.
Shes done pony club camp, rallies, fancy dress, sponsored rides, and lots of mounted games both pony club and MGA.
Shes taken to jumping very well, I'd never claim shes a show jumper in any form but she will toddle round little poles and Cross poles all day long. She can still be green at fillers, she will stop once, but jump on the 2nd go, but once she's seen it once, you'll be good to go. She is a shetland and she has just enough of the breed that the child will have to ride and use leg encouragement.
She's got a forward going walk trot and canter which may feel fast at first but shes pretty much has just that one speed. Great in traffic and open feilds.
I owe cocoa the world so only the very best knowledgeable family homes will be considered. Good mounted games ponies are tricky to find so a home with an interest in games would be ideal.
I would possibly consider lease to the right home (2500 per year)
