RIO
12hh chestnut Gelding, 11 years old.
An absolute saint and a mother’s dream pony, Rio is the ultimate confidence-giver and has looked after our daughters every step of the way.
He is equally happy taking the smallest of children who are just learning to canter, through to a child wanting to jump courses around 80cm. He has plenty of jump, but is never silly or spooky at a fence and always gives his rider confidence. Rio will happily canter when asked, but is also more than happy to trot around a course for a nervous or less experienced rider and also take them around their first course in a steady canter.
He would be a great BS starter pony too.
Rio has a green passport so can do native classes but would equally make a lovely plaited show pony and would be a real contender in the London International Nursery stakes, first ridden and junior performance pony class qualifiers.
He is an absolute dream to hack and is sensible and trustworthy. He is also happy for you to ride and lead from him or vice versa.
Rio has done everything we could have asked of him. He has taken our daughters from learning to canter and jump, through to jumping bigger courses and competing successfully. They have now progressed onto JA jumping ponies, so it is time for Rio to find his next little rider to love and enjoy him.
Our trainer cannot speak highly enough of him, and Rio has given our daughters an incredible amount of confidence. He has qualified for the NSEA Regionals, Cricklands, and the Sunshine Tour at Hickstead.
He truly is a one-in-a-million pony and has kept our daughters safe throughout their time with him. He has never bucked, reared or napped and has always been incredibly genuine and trustworthy.
Rio is an easy keeper and does not need to be ridden every day. He is a real child’s best friend and loves nothing more than being groomed, fussed and pampered. He is good to catch, shoe and load and is up to date with worming and teeth.
Rio has been a very special part of our family and will be hugely missed. We are looking for the right home where he can continue to give another child the confidence, fun and memories he has given our daughters.
There is a 7 minute video on here with him stepping up to jump the bigger fences and at the end taking a total tiny tot around Bicton main arena over x- poles so please do watch the whole video as it shows all of his paces and how he is.
