Dilly is a very special, genuine lead-rein and first-ridden Shetland mare who has been a much-loved part of our family for the past 7 years, having taught our children to ride.
⭐ Dilly is:
🏆 An experienced ridden pony with years of experience – 16 years old
👍 Brilliant in all traffic
🐴 Confident and enthusiastic over a jump
🌟 Loads and travels like a pro
🫶 Loves to hack
🎪 Takes shows, Pony Club rallies and new environments in her stride
👧🏼 Absolutely fantastic with children
🛁 Easy for children to handle and care for – our children tack her up, lead her, load her etc.
✂️ Excellent for bathing, clipping and having her feet done
❤️ Hacking is her absolute favourite thing. She happily keeps up with our 16hh and the other ponies. She may be small, but she is mighty in personality!
She also enjoys jumping, Pony Club rallies and shows. She is confident in new environments and completely unflappable with noises and new experiences. She can also be led from another pony, making her wonderfully versatile.
Dilly has even played the lead-role “donkey” in the school Christmas nativity assembly. ❤️🥰
She is such a kind and genuine pony that we also feel she could potentially be very well suited to a therapy/SEN environment.
Our children initially rode her in an Inky Dinky saddle from around 1–3 years old. She is now ridden with a Zoe Snape showing pad.
🐴 Home is very important
Dilly must go to a home with other ponies/horses. She absolutely loves equine company and does not like being turned out alone.
💔 A very hard sale
Our children have now moved onto bigger ponies and Dilly no longer has a regular rider. She is just far too good to be sitting in a field.
We are looking for a 5-star, ideally long-term home where she will be loved, included and kept busy. We are in no rush and would happily wait until Spring for the right home.
We would love to find Dilly a family where she can continue to have fun, go hacking, attend rallies and shows, and be a much-loved member of the family.
