12.2 Approx 17yo gelding (no DOB in passport). Steady and safe on the lead rein and for a novice, but equally has hunted and has a good jump including dykes. Great to hack, good in traffic and open spaces. Typical pony will veer to grass (we use balance support reins which sort it). Lives in or out with any herd, has been a wonderful nanny to our youngsters. He will lead another or be lead off another. Good to clip, load, travel. No particular ailments, has the odd cough if arena dusty, goodness knows if would fly through a 5stage vetting but he is a good, sound, kid friendly pony. Goes barefoot with us. More and videos on request.

NB- My son was a total novice when we bought Fred, and my main prerequisite when I purchased Fred was SAFE. He has never once given me a moment where I have had to worry that any high jinks (!) are about to occur, he is a super cool, solid ‘mums favourite’ kind of pony that would equally give some fun to a slightly more ambitious rider within reason. Much more whoa than go- a small rider would struggle to get him to canter in the arena without a tap or mum clicking but similarly a stronger child could probably coax a half decent SJ round out of him.

Please no tyre kickers- we think the world of him and this is a very sad sale!

- He is in his late teens

- He is a pony (!). Will always try veer off to grass/ a bucket, is prone to laziness.

- He may not fly through flexion tests

He has good legs, not covered in lumps/ bumps. He doesn’t have any sweet itch etc and has never had a bout of lami with us.

He will do his absolute best to look after your child and has no wild ideas of going fast or busting any moves without plenty of encouragement.

He is super friendly with adults, kids and animals alike.
