Peraidd Braveheart (Tom)
Tom is a lovely, versatile pony who is currently not getting the time he currently deserves.
Tom is used in the riding school as lead rein pony and is completely unfazed by nervous, wobbly or unbalanced little riders. He has experience with our usual riding school clientele, including children from just 4 years old, as well as RDA (Riding for the Disabled) & school visits. Unfortunately, we just don’t need a pony this small anymore.
He is brilliant in open spaces. He is regularly ridden as part of a group both in the arena and in our fields, but is equally happy being ridden on his own. He is excellent on the road and completely unfazed by traffic, tractors and general farm machinery.
Tom has also done lots of work off the lead and, before coming to us, attended a few local shows doing some showing & working hunter. He’s an attractive little pony that would be excellent in the show ring. Tom has a great jump and is a really adaptable ride. He can adjust himself to suit his rider, whether they want a lead rein, first ridden or want to ask a little more of him and have him step up a gear.
Unfortunately, Tom is nasty in the stable. We tie him up outside to groom, bath & tack up, and this does seem to be a solution. He needs a firm hand and somebody that knows how to deal with a pony with ‘little man syndrome’. Happy to go more into depth.
Tom is currently barefoot and is easy for the farrier to trim. He is up to date with his teeth, chiropractor and saddle fitting, and is snaffle mouthed at all times. He is also good to travel.
Tom has passed his yearly council vet check for this year, he is currently turned out in a mixed herd of 30 horses. He is happy living both in and out and is equally content being stabled. At present, he lives out overnight. During the winter months, he comes in at night and is turned out during the day. He would be happy continuing with this routine or living out 24/7.
We feel that Tom would be much happier in a private home, where he can have more individual attention and a lifestyle better suited to him.
Tom has so many lovely qualities and we would really like to find him a home where he can thrive and continue to develop as he is still only 7. Please do not expect a ready made pony, he is young and is a bargain for what he is.
