Bess is a 13 year old, 12.3hh, welsh cross.
I actually bought bess myself from the brecon sales just over a year ago where she’d previously been used for shepherding (i spoke at length with her previous owners) then due to a change in circumstances sold her on to a great home soon after. Since being sold Bess has been loved by 2 young children, mostly hacking but starting some arena work too on and off the leadrein. Shes been based on a busy livery/racing yard living in and out and had no issues. She’s only available due to a change in there circumstances.
Out hacking Bess is the perfect hack, forward but never strong or silly. Awesome in open spaces will step up a gear if asked but happy to mooch along, never spooky, great in all traffic including farm machinery, incredibly sure footed on all terrains and will hack alone or in company in front or behind with no issue.
She’s started her school work and is fluent in all transitions and holds a lovely forward thinking rhythm but again is never strong. She’s also started jumping and is proving bold and brave over all types of fences, never over jumping anything which is great for a young rider but equally not touching poles.
She’s recently attended a showjumping clinic and an all day show both videos can be found on my page (Amelie Gibbs on facebook including full sales video) She excelled at the mounted games not giving the equipment a second thought.
She’s completely sane with dogs and other horses would be awesome fun out hunting.
Never bucked, bolted or reared. Gentle in all ways on the ground could be handled by anyone.
Her only vices are she is reluctant with picking up her back feet, my experienced farrier can trim her and we are working on this daily as seen in video she is now picking them up but reluctant to hold them up. She can be a bit shy to be caught since arriving she’s not taken me more than 10 minutes to catch and she’s in a huge field without a headcollar left on and i haven’t been using treats, again this is improving daily. She hasn’t done an awful lot of loading on collection it took us 5 minutes and a lunge line clipped to the side so she couldn’t veer off but as you can see in the video she’s now walking in no issue and is great to travel. Her passport is estimated at 12 (now 13) however upon purchase i had two vets inspect her teeth (and she had them rasped) and they both agreed this was the correct age. This is all reflected in her price without these “vices” she’d be worth alot more so an excellent opportunity to get a cracking all round pony on a budget.
She’s up to date with everything back, teeth, feet, vaccinations etc.
