- Happy Hacker, Hunting and Mother-daughter share
- Description
- Jess is 15. She lives out happily 24/7 (requires a fly rug in the summer) and is good to catch – she has no hard feed and keeps her condition beautifully. She is up-to-date with vaccinations, worming, teeth and physio and is never sick or sorry. She is good to clip, shoe and for the vet.
Jess has been ridden by my 12-year-old daughter, as her first pony, but is now sadly outgrown. She hacks safely on her own and in company, happy to be first or last. She is bombproof in traffic and is used to dogs, livestock, farm machinery and a busy yard environment.
Jess can produce a beautiful dressage test and always places showing. She has attended fun rides, all pony club activities and particularly enjoys polo crosse! She has hunted with Sandhurst Staff College, stands very politely at the meet and is happy to go anywhere in the field. She can jump up to 70cm and much prefers a rustic fence. She doesn’t enjoy competitive show jumping.
Jess can be strong when led from the ground if she feels that she is being left behind (eg. if the rest of her field buddies head to the field without her). She will on occasion put her down when ridden, but my daughter learned to manage this quickly and has developed a strong core! Loading her can be ‘hit and miss’ but with perseverance she will always load on to a lorry or trailer. She can be a bit ‘mareish’ and so would suit a home that understands this!
She passed a 2 stage vetting in 2023. Mild cataracts were picked up – these are ‘non-progressive’ and thought to have been present from birth – her vision is not affected. Happy to provide the vet’s report.
We are based near Alton in Hampshire, can facilitate trials (school and hacking) plus transport to her new home.
Price £5000 - but happy to negotiate for the right home. She could also come with all her rugs for an additional cost.
