Description:

Lawndowns Daisy.
14hh rising 8yo blue and white mare.
Same home for the past 4 years.
Ridden by all members of the family from tiny tots on the lead, 10-13 yo pony club girls for rallies, competitions and camps and mum to compete also. A true versatile safe pony.
Daisy is just about as good a hack as you could ask for, she hacks alone or in company. Fantastic with all traffic including double decker buses, all farm machinery, motorbikes etc.
Will happily take the younger children out on the lead, hacked by my daughter off the lead from age 9 but has predominantly been a mums hack to babysit the children/other ponies. Have always led from her which she does perfectly.

We have also done quite a few fun rides where again she was very well behaved.

She has competed in a few dressage competitions keeping a very level head and was placed in all classes. Would benefit from some more schooling as we don't have an arena but she is very responsive off the leg and her lateral work is coming along really nicely.

Daisy Loves her jumping! She has competed upto 80cm sj and 70cm xc (schooled over 80cm) predominantly with myself but more recently with a 13 year old. She has never had a stop, as long as you get her to the middle of a fence with your leg on She will keep going. She hasn't done masses of competing but she is the sort you can not jump for weeks then just take out and pop round a course.
Last year she did a double clear at the Bicton mini pony club champs with a 13 year old, filled in on the last day of pony club camp with my 10 year old after her pony went lame and took me clear round trebudannon hunter trial to just name a few.

She loads herself in the trailer and travels like an absolute dream.

She is very easy to clip, I don't even tie her up.

She lives out predominantly but equally loves a snooze in her stable when she does come in.

She is barefoot and always has been.

My 11 year old daughter rides her out to the field bareback with just a headcollar and rope and canters around the field with no problem.

She has never been lame or had time off work.

Daisy is my overgrown labradoor that will follow you around the field and loves cuddles and a fuss, she is not marish at all.

Her only down sides are that she does like company, she will stay in on her own and I have managed to turn her out on her own when we have taken the others off to a show but we had to build upto it. However she settles in new places, at camps etc very quickly and is no longer worried about others riding away from her.

She gets a sun burnt nose but I have a uv nose guard that she wears in the summer that will come with her.

She has worked really well as a mother/daughter share but would equally love a pony club home with a teenager or a riding club home with a smaller adult or would happily be your super safe happy hacker.

She is only for sale as I brought her so I could manage my then young daughter on her small ponies from her, she has achieved far more than I ever expected but now I feel I would like something bigger for myself.

She will come with full wardrobe including a good quality leather saddle and all of her rugs.

West Cornwall so if your not prepared to travel please don't enquire.
