10 yr old shetland/quarter pony cross.
11 hands, gelding, sorrel/white paint.
This pony is fully trained and was
previously ridden by a 10 yr old girl.
Suitable for a lead-line pony with an
experienced handler only. Would make a
great project type pony for a petite
(100lbs or less) older child (10-12
range) that has LOTS of experience and
wont be afraid of his typical pony
behavior. As long as you take the upper
hand with him and insist on making him
behave, he does fine. Our children have
been able to lead and groom him but they
are too little and he will take
advantage of them. Before we bought him
we saw video of him being ridden eng and
western, walk and trot, and backing. We
purchased him under the assumption that
he was child safe, something our kids
could handle independently.
He is
still plenty young enough to be worked
with and with time I feel he will do
much better. He needs an older child
that can work him and love him.
We
will continue to work with him on ground
manners until sold. UTD on all
vaccs/coggins/teeth. All of his tack is
available for an additional $100
UPDATE - significant improvement on
ground work and manners. Reduced his
temperment rating to a 4 - this pony
just needs to be handled daily. Still
needs exp handler and will excel with
the right rider.
Price: $ 500 (Negotiable)
