Kilnstown Foxglove 9yr old Buckskin Welsh A mare.

This hasn’t been an easy decision but with the loss of my horse and my 4 yr old child not being interested it is time to look for a new home for her.

She is a cracking little pony, but has had some dicey handling in her past I believe. She takes a little time to trust, but once she does she becomes the sweetest little thing. But until then you will get the mare stare.

We have been out lead rein showing, showjumping and to an xc course. She always places in the top two and is foot perfect at shows. When my little one loses her balance she will throw her head up and slow straight down, when she fell off she then did the slowest smoothest trot ever and wouldn’t speed up till she knew she had balance again.

She has been out off the lead rein with the local hunt, she was happy to sit at the back and walk trot, canter as needed. But doesn’t like being in the mix, she has to sit on the outskirts.

We have been off road hacking with me riding and she was happy to follow another horse, but won’t take the lead mostly due to lack of experience as I have only used her as a lead rein pony.

She has been on the lead rein around xc courses, done a few small logs she just has to look at them first.

Hundreds of photos of my child riding bareback, hands in the air singing, in dresses, carrying a teddy and just being a 4 yr old!

If something truly scares her and she has a child on board she freezes and won’t budge, the 2 times this has happened i took the child off walked her past it and let her spook and that was it done! Chucked the child back on and carried on, never spooked at again!

Bad points - she is sassy, if you want a pony your little one can run up and hug she probably isn’t for you, she tolerates it but isn’t keen! But saying that as she bonded with my little one she got better however my child isn’t at the yard enough and doesn’t spend any time with her. But with older kids she is always happy to give attention, but tells them when she is done. I don’t think she ever be a 24-7 cuddly pony, but she will on her terms.

She doesn’t lunge, she hates it I don’t know what has happened but she doesn’t lunge. She was getting better but lack of time has stopped me lunging.

She doesn’t like horses up her bum, she has kicked once, I put a red ribbon on and don’t put her in the scenario of horse up her bum. Never kicked with little one on, but equally she is a sassy Welsh buckskin mare!

Traffic - yard traffic absolutely fine, I have lead her down a busy road in company and she was fine with no rider but I cannot say she is 100% as I don’t have anyone to take her out with and the roads are ridiculous by us so I won’t put anyone at risk.

She has done off the lead rein with an older rider, she can be stubborn but goes nice when ridden off the lead regularly. But she is a true lead rein in the sense ahead looks for her leader, it’s her safe place, but she will step up to assisted.

That being said with the ride lead rein child, and time I fully believe she will go off the lead rein with a child. My own daughter who hardly rides has managed to ride her away from me, but she would need consistency.
