Don’t be put off by her age - Eira is wise beyond her years and is similar to a 7yo in many ways! Eira is a striking roan with talent and trainability to go far in the right hands. She is the pony we all wanted as a kid. Produced and brought on carefully, she has all the foundations in place and now seeks a competitive young rider to continue her journey. Currently measuring 14.1hh at the bum (bum high), she will make at least 14.1hh.
She has already attended Pony Club rallies, been on fun rides and has been hacked and enjoyed by both children and adults, and she is a wise head on young shoulders. Rising 5, she is possibly the least marey mare ever, with a gentle soul. Most importantly, she is a pony you can trust, making her a fantastic prospect for a young rider or small adult wanting to have fun and progress. The first serious buyer to view her will snap her right up!
Flatwork and Jumping
Eira has three beautiful paces and sits comfortably in an outline with a light contact. She recently went to a dressage show, scoring a very competitive 70%. She is currently schooling around 80cm courses and has never stopped or run out with me. If you point her between the wings, she will jump the fence and always tries her best. She has jumped 1m+ at home, demonstrating plenty of scope and showing that there is lots more to come as she develops and matures. She has also been ridden bareback (seen in videos). She genuinely enjoys her jumping and has a fantastic attitude to her work.
XC and Hacking
Eira has been XC schooling and loves it, jumping ditches, steps, houses, skinnies, water and brushes, taking everything in her stride. She's proven herself brave and genuine and would take to hunting brilliantly. She hacks alone or in company, happily at the front or the back, and can also be led from another horse. She is never nappy and is fantastic in all types of traffic. She has experienced lorries, tractors with trailers, bikes, motorcycles, cars, vans and even tractors being loaded onto lorries. Eira has been ridden by everyone from young beginners to middle-aged ladies and is a joy to ride in open spaces. She has also attended a fun ride and behaved brilliantly, and even stopped at the pub halfway round!
Temperament and Handling
On the ground, Eira is the easiest pony ever to handle. She is sweet-natured, kind and loves attention. She is easy to catch, great to load, good with the farrier, enjoys being groomed and fussed over, ties up quietly alone and in company and is a pleasure to have around the yard. She stables well, turns out happily and is incredibly straightforward in her daily routine. She ties up at shows inside and outside of the lorry and can also be left alone with peace of mind. She is also fantastic at being put into “park”, making her exactly the sort of pony you want for Pony Club rallies. She is worth her weight in gold.
Health and History
Eira is fully up to date with vaccinations, teeth and worming and passed a 5-stage vetting at the beginning of the summer. She has excellent feet and is currently shod at the front. She has no lumps, bumps or blemishes and is snaffle-mouthed at all times. She has previously done lots of hacking, Pony Club rallies and has even had a go at mounted games with a 16-year-old girl and young novices, making a strong foundation for a sensible pony. She has been brought on slowly and correctly and is a very special young pony. I believe she would also give polo a good crack!
Home Sought
Eira would suit a forever home with a competitive teen, small adult or family looking for a serious all-rounder to have fun with and progress. I am 5ft5 and lightweight, so someone around the same height or smaller would be a great fit. The dressage saddle she is currently in makes me look much taller, due to the long stirrups. Although this is a sale, I would be thrilled to have any involvement with her in her new home. She would excel in NSEA, Pony Club, Cotswold Cup or BE, and with her scope, paces, bravery and temperament, I believe she could progress to Badminton Grassroots or maybe beyond in the right hands. While she is kind enough for a quiet or nervous rider, she is far too talented to be wasted, so a home with ambition is a must. Novice riders would be considered with a hands-on, experienced coach!
