Description:

Dolly is a 12 year old, 13.2, Welsh B. We bought Dolly in November to bring back into work and sell as a kids pony. It became apparent over a month or so that she was increasingly becoming uncomfortable so we had her checked over. Long story short, we believe she has had an injury to her pelvis previously and this hasn't been dealt with so she healed wonky and this made having a saddle and rider uncomfortable for her. She never did anything nasty, just planted.
Dolly has since been to a fantastic loan home where she has been rehabbed back to health. She can be ridden again, is happy to have a saddle and thoroughly enjoys hacking. Unfortunately dolly's loaner went off to jockey school so she has had to come home and is Currently playing companion and being led out as and when I can. We feel she deserves to enjoy life pain free now so we're looking for a hacking home. She's fantastic with the little ones and she's very good on the ground. She rides and leads and is happy to lead from too. She'd take a small adult or even look after a lead rein child. We haven't done anything with her in the school as this was too difficult for her to start with but she'll probably take a tiny tot around no problems. She's had my novice niece on her and looked after her amazingly, even with her bouncing around and off lead rein. We haven't cantered her since she's been in a saddle but once she's spent time hacking, building muscle and understanding she's pain free, this is something the may be happy to do.
Dolly lives in or out but doesn't like being left. She could live totally alone and therefor not stress about friends leaving her.

We do not wish to have Dolly passed around anymore than she has been so please do not apply if you intend to have her for just a few months. She's had too many homes over her life who have passed her on rather than sort out her pelvis.

Max 8st (she carries me at 9 but we feel she's happier at 8 and under)
Perfect with kids, happy to be pampered and lead them around the lanes.
Good for farrier and dentist
Good to travel
Happy to live out
Not had laminitis and thrives off good grass

Dolly just deserves a lovely home that will love her and spend time with her.
