He needs a rider that isn’t worried about speed and gives him a rein contact when jumping. He is quite strong but not nasty he doesn’t kick buck or rear . He just knows his job and wants to get on with it. He will also lead rein and go off lead but you need a confident child for off to do jumping. He has jumped up to 90 but the last 6 months he has been jumping 50/60 for a 8yr old. Loads with others or by himself and travels and stands at box all day long. He hasn’t ever been sick or sorry don’t let age put you off he isn’t ready to retire at all. Safe out hacking seen all farm machinery and country roads as well as busy roads he isn’t fazed. Loves the beach he will go for a swim and forest rides all day long. He very clean in stable on hay and shavings and loves a roll in the field. He is a very easy pony to keep and doesn’t mind being groomed bathed or having a pamper pink day he will stand all day long. Happy out in field on own or in a herd any questions please ask I have hundreds of pictures and videos
