Heartbreaking sale of a true child’s pony due to being hopelessly outgrown. True to type Dartmoor who excels in showing but is equally a wonderful allrounder.
Showing: Many wins and championships as a LR, FR, junior M&M and open small breeds. Previously qualified and placed at RIHS and HOYs. Previously professionally produced and now home produced. Sits beautifully on the lead with the tiniest of jockeys. Has taken his current jockey off the lead rein and in to open small breeds classes over the past 3 years. He needs very little working in, no calmers or ear plugs. Behaves in the most electric atmosphere. Qualified for stars and just out of placing in FR M&M last year. He can tootle along calmly and quietly with the most nervous/just off the lead jockey but then with a bigger/more confident jockey he is a real showman with beautiful movement. Rossi has also been shown by small adults previously. We think he would be an amazing veteran contender.
Hacking: frequently hacks, will go first or last, never gets hot or jogs. Hacks on roads with traffic/tractors/farm machinery without concern and enjoys farm rides/country park hacks. Will lead from another horse.
Jumping: Rossi is new to jumping and sometimes lacks confidence. However, after only a few months he has come on incredibly and is now jumping up to 80 cm confidently with scope. He makes a beautiful shape over a jump and has a lovely rhythm and with a competent and confident jockey really would be an incredible workers pony. He really seems to enjoy his jumping now and has been frequently going out to pole and jumping clinics and arena hires.
No previous laminitis known, never been sick or sorry. Has mild sweet itch which is controlled with the right rugs (his sweet itch rugs are available with him).
Rossi is wonderful to handle. Everything is done by children. He loves to be pampered and will stand all day. Loads and travels in trailer or box, travels alone and in company, will stand happily on the box all day at shows without us worrying about him. Great for farrier (shod 2 in front), to clip, bath and for teeth/vet. Turns out alone or in company happily. Currently stabled with regular turnout, happily out overnight/for longer periods in the summer.
Rossi is a much loved member of the family and finding him a wonderful new home is really important to us.
Lots of photos/videos available at request with a variety of jockeys.
