Stunning happy hacker, fun all rounder

Ben is a 13.2 12yr gelding. He is a quality stamp of a pony and the sweetest personality with fantastic manners. He is bombproof in heavy traffic and on busy roads and not at all spooky. Ben has previously been used in a riding school. He is a responsive forward ride and isn’t the type you need to keep kicking. he’s not strong and always snaffled mouthed. He will happily hack for miles on a long rein and this is what he enjoys the most. Due to being used a lot in the riding school, he can find the school abit boring and can sometimes throw the odd buck, but nothing dangerous. He does however enjoy popping a small course including fillers. Also happy to pop the odd log or two out hacking. He is a pleasure to have on the yard, he can be kept on his own or in company, not the stressy type at all and respects fencing. He is kept on a working farm with cattle and surrounded by farm machinery. Stands perfectly to be clipped, bath and will stand all day being groomed. He’s good to load and travel. Ben is currently barefoot but previously had a full set of shoes on and stands perfectly for the farrier. He has no sarcoids, sweetitch, scars, blemish’s or vices of any kind. Ben has also done pleasure rides, hunting, local shows and involved in all riding school activities. I think Ben would most be suited to a hacking home and occasionally go in the school, rather than someone wanting to school all the time.
