It is time to find our lovely 12.2 a new smaller child to have fun with. A very sad sale that we’ve put off all summer. She is a Welsh Section B with recorded breeding.
Nancy has been a superstar for the last 2.5years, but is now hopelessly outgrown. We bought her from a lovely PC home with two daughters who had her since she was a yearling and was loved just as much. Now, 12 years old, Nancy has done just about everything a pony can do. In the last 2.5yrs shes taken my daughter from her perfect first ridden to jumping round 70cm courses. She will jump bigger single fences at home but her best results have come at 60/70cms.
She has been showjumping, cross country, dressage, farm rides, beach rides, been galloping with my horses, numerous camps including Somerford Park. Pony days, games, been dressed up for Halloween and Christmas jumping - the ultimate child’s fun pony. She has been to championships and stayed away. She has even given dressage to music a go, although she would prefer something in the faster lane.
Nancy is handled by children, but isn’t a pony to stand and be pampered for hours. She’ll be brushed and hooves picked out by children but she wants to be on with her job. She is not fizzy or buzzy but covers the ground for a 12.2 and is quite quick, including against the clock! She will however step down and trot round a 40/50cm course and has been ridden on the lead by my youngest who doesn’t ride.
She hacks alone and in company, and large groups, is safe to take into open spaces, and will gallop along with the big ones no problem at all and she will keep up! She’s been on fun rides, farm rides and to the beach with no worries of her running off.
The ideal home will be a medium to confident small child who wants to do a little bit of everything, coming off their first ridden pony, as she really does thrive off working. Not really suitable for a child who is coming straight off the lead rein because she wants to be on with her job. Doesn’t buck or rear, and isn’t particularly sharp, but would prefer a balanced child because shes quite petite. Safe in all situations, with traffic, farm machinery, other ponies in warm ups. Can also be led off another horse. We bought her for my then just turning 9yr old and I wish we’d bought her a year sooner!
Teeth, vaccinations, physio, farrier all up to date. She hasn’t needed shoeing and we’ve done lots with her over varying terrains. She has currently had a summer of less work whilst we’ve focussed on the bigger ponies, so is a little bit rounder than she should be but it won’t take her long to be in prime shape again. She is a delicate stamp of a pony when fit and competing. Nancy has filled my daughters wall with rosettes,
We have 100s of photos and videos of her in all scenarios over the years. Please only enquire if you’re seriously interested. Shes been part of our family, living at home with us, so we know her very well. Sadly my daughter’s legs nearly touch under her belly.
