Description:

This guy was supposed to be my forever horse, however even though I hoped, prayed and stamped my feet he just stopped growing and is consequently too small for me.
I've spent years doing loads of work on him and he is now a steady, confident guy, brilliant out on hacks, we have to go through a petrol station forecourt and over a busy road to get anywhere so traffic is not an issue at all for him. Does not race when out in a field, is happy to stay at the back in canter although will move up if asked. Has excellent brakes.
He's voice activated in walk, trot and woah!. Loves you to chat to him when being ridden especially when alone.
He's going well in all 3 paces, he does occasionally strike off on the wrong leg in canter but is easy to slow to trot and move up again on the right one, he loves to jump which he's just started to do, he's better going over 45cm+ as can treat lower as trotting poles unless in canter. Has seen coloured and natural poles.
Schools brilliantly and is just coming into a natural outline in walk and trot, is ridden in a french link snaffle at all times, no gadgets or gizmo's required.
He's been out to inhand shows last year and came home with ribbons, did his first ridden SJ show just 2 weeks ago and behaved impeccably.
Self loads onto a box and will happily stand in it until asked to get out. No issues at all with farrier or dentist (all of which are up to date)
He falls asleep when being clipped and will even stand and let you blow dry his sweaty bits first (see video) Currently fully clipped.
The only downside to him is that he needs a competent rider as he has in the past napped to the gate if given the chance, however a strong voice and leg will see him through and he gives up trying when he realises he's not getting away with it. Prefers to live out but will happily be stables overnight.
Never bucked, reared or bolted.
No issues at all being caught and will come to call from field. Stands to be tacked up mounted.
He's everything you could hope for in a pony and a little bit extra thrown in as he loves his cuddles, baths and grooming. He would choose his human over other horses and follow you around all day.
All he asks for in return is a kind word and attention, anything edible is a welcomed bonus for him.
He will wait for his dinner and not try to mug you for it, he's in no way rude at all.
Gets on well with other mares and geldings.
Would make a fab PC pony.
Good with dogs and farm birds.
Also loves driving and is voice activated in this.
He's still only young and will make someone a lifelong friend with all the basics already in place, just needs the last finishing touches doing.
He's open to any vetting.
I'm so gutted to be selling him, I'm in no rush and I will only let him go to the best home.
