He is not a novice ride and is not a child’s pony.
He has a dominant attitude which requires good handling and ridding skills. He is happiest when he knows you are the leader, this is his comfort zone.
Would suit confident light weight adult or older teenager for this little boy to excel in any discipline. I am just starting to introduce some working equitation.
Hacks out alone and in company.
Good to groom/ tack up
Good in traffic/ woods.
Active walk and Trott due to loss of ménage he hasn’t progressed this winter with canter work- as soon as paddock dry enough will start canter work.
Happy with pole work and jumps.
Lunges in equi-ami
Good to lead in from paddock/ stable.
Good with vet/ farrier and equine physio.
Up to date with vaccine/ teeth/ physio.
He is bare foot and is ridden with front hoof boots. ( has had front shoes on with no issues).
Loads well
He is fit and sound.
Due to his dominance he can at time be pushy/ barge/ bite or the occasional buck, he can get excitable/ anxious but with good handling skills this is certainly not on a daily basis.
