Very sad sale of our lovely Dolly pony. We have owned her for nearly 3 years but is now sadly outgrown.
Dolly was our daughter’s first pony and has taken her from never riding and being on the lead rein, to cantering through the woods on her own. My daughter is a nervous rider and Dolly has definitely given her confidence and they often ride down the road bareback with just a head collar on now!
She is quiet in traffic and we hack down busy roads and through villages with no issues.
Dolly will happily stay next to a push bike (on or off the lead if asked) which we found really helpful as we could cover miles at a decent speed!
We did some pony club lessons to help teach my daughter how to ride but we haven’t been for well over 12 months as we prefer hunting, pub rides, picnic rides and exploring! My daughter isn’t a fan of jumping but will pop over a log if there’s one in the woods. Dolly did quite a bit of jumping in her previous home though, especially out hunting!
Dolly has hunted with us and we have been to several of the Christmas meets which have been in a town centre and Dolly has behaved impeccably despite the huge number of people and horses.
We’ve been to shows with Dolly and she has been happy doing her classes and then being tied up at the trailer for the rest of the day!
She is really nice on the ground and is good to clip, bath, load, farrier and my daughter handles her for everything.
We often have friends smaller children over and they ride her on and off the lead rein so she’s still used to tiny wobbly children learning the ropes!
She adjusts to the rider and will step it up if asked but will also happily plod along the road with a wobbly child on board! Her previous owner loved whizzing around but my daughter prefers a slower pace and she’s never bucked, bolted or reared with us (which is super important to us as I don’t think my daughter would ride again if she got bolted with or bucked off)
Tack is included in the sale
