14.2hh Quality 9yr old Bay Mare
Pony Club, Hunting, Show Jumping, Working Hunter, Hacking
Heart breaking sale of much loved pony, Poppy, It is with a very heavy heart I am offering our super pony Poppy for sale. This beautiful pony has transformed my nervous 11 year old daughter from being a rider who would only jump 60cm under much persuasion to a super confident little rider who is now a jumping fanatic!
Poppy is very honest and straight to a fence, popping 5 barred gates and walls out hunting, she loves to jump without being keen or fizzy. Poppy has done cross country and hunter trial, again taking good care of her jockey, and always bringing home both ribbons and smiles! Poppy has done all pony club, including rallies and camps, the family is an active pony club home. Poppy has done a full seasons hunting, and will happily ride up front, be in the field or sit quietly at the back, when she first came she was led off from another horse, and was happy to do this, although it wasn’t long before she was off rein taking care of her jockey. She has hunted over open hill and more trappy country, again looking after both herself and her little one. Poppy has show jumped both indoors and outdoors, safely and teaching her jockey well. She is a proper confidence giver without being dull and is forward going off the leg, she is always ridden in a snaffle, never being silly or strong. Poppy is a fun pony, who will also turn her hooves to mounted games.
Poppy is good to catch, load, lead and travel, both in a trailer and lorry. She is great with the farrier and she has never been sick or sorry. She is great to clip and brush too. Now for the bad bits.....When riding and leading, she prefers to be led as opposed to lead others off, and due to the jockey not being interested in dressage, she could do with work on her flatwork, but after saying that, the flatwork is there she just needs more riding during that phase.
Poppy is a very very much loved addition to our family and if it was legal to cut the child’s legs off....we would seriously consider doing it!! She is a good looking honest tough pony, and will only go to the very best of 5*homes.
Please no timewasters as this is impossible enough for us as it is, Open to vetting £4250 to include tack
Poppy can be viewed in the Scottish borders, transport can be arranged. Hunting and pony club references can be given for our beautiful girl.
