Rizz came to us in summer '23 as a fun all round pony for my daughter to play with at home. We've had heaps of fun with her over the last few months, my daughter loves her to bits and is very reluctant to let her go but she already has 2 other show ponies and Rizz needs to be out competing which we just can't factor in with the others we have. It's not fair to just keep her as a play pony when she can be so much more.
Her happy place is jumping, she loves it, her face lights up and she's very bold and brave.
Never refused or ducked out and I'm confident she'd jump pretty much anything! Not fussed about fillers or 'spooky' fences at all.
She's fabulous to hack out, not silly or spooky and we're yet to come across anything she's fazed by.
She's taken part in some NSEA training sessions with my daughter's school and behaves impeccably each time.
Due to her love of jumping she is forward and enthusiastic and she needs a confident and capable jockey who's raring to go to share this enthusiasm with.
She does have brakes though and always comes back when asked and is voice responsive. She schools nicely on the flat too.
Can be wary of new faces but once you've gained her trust then she's very loyal and loving. Laughs on the daily and loves to play with coat zips and shoe laces, she'll stand and play with you for hours.
Can get a bit stressy if travelling alone, stomps a bit initially and bashes her haynet about but soon settles once you get going. We've only ever really travelled her solo and as soon as she steps off the lorry at your destination she's cool as a cucumber.
5* knowledgeable home required, she'll only go where we feel is right.
Not a first pony.
Passed a 5 stage vetting in summer last year.
Competed as a Working Hunter with her last family qualifying for NPS Summer Champs and Blair in her first two seasons.
