I am looking for a safe and sensible horse / pony to show in ridden classes, do some dressage and hack out. Right budget for RIGHT animal. 14.2 - 15.2HH Prefer gelding. Like large breed natives, cobs - either show or traditional, but open to suggestions if everything else is right. Please, above all else be honest about your horse / pony if you contact me and you will receive 100% honesty in return. I am still friends with people I bought horses from over twenty years ago, that are sadly no longer with us and have just lost my horse of a lifetime far too soon in tragic circumstances, whose previous owner would also vouch for me.
Horse / Pony MUST be :-
Excellent to box, catch, clip, shoe etc, able to be turned out in a field alone or with company in field next door. Good to handle, no nipping, biting, kicking, barging or any vices such as cribbing, weaving, windsucking or box walking. Must be good for lady to handle alone in any situation.
ABSOLUELY NO BUCKING, REARING, NAPPING, OR BOLTING, SPINNING OR OTHER RIDDEN NASTIES, AS I HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BEFORE ON A THOROUGHLY UNGENUINE PONY! THIS IS PARAMOUNT!!!! I am a competent rider but do suffer a little with nerves now as a result - understandably so after what happened - so horse needs to be forgiving of this and look after itself and me too. I am not a terrified nervous Nellie, just lack confidence until I get to know and trust something.
Currently out competing in the classes I wish to do and doing its job, sensibly and enjoying its job, not needing hours of working in at a show. Must stand on the lorry alone as will be my only horse. Must be relaxed at shows in that environment, not stressing or shouting. I would require to see and ride anything in this situation before purchase. I do not necessarily want to ride it in a class, but would like to be able to go in a collecting ring and watch the how the animal behaves in the class and on the lorry, been tacked up, got ready etc.
Not be spooky, sharp or silly to ride and be of a kind calm nature. I need a confident, straightforward, schoolmaster type that has been out and about a bit and will be fun and enjoyable to take out on my own, wether it be hacking, schooling, lessons, clinics or shows. Must be good in open spaces, either alone or in company and unfazed by all traffic, tractors, large wagons, buses, dogs, cyclists etc. Nothing that is scared of its own shadow in a nutshell.
In return for this paragon of virtue, I am offering a home for life and endless amounts of love and attention, with own daily turnout, large stable, regular lessons. The horse I choose will want for nothing and will have an enviable life, I can if necessary provide references as to how well I care for my horse and as regards what sort of a life I would be able to give a horse. I spend an awful lot of time with my horses, even if not riding, so it is very important that they are a friend not just a horse to me. I will be happy to stay in touch and give regular updates, yard can be inspected, have own 3.5t new lorry and funds to be able to look after a horse properly, no shoestring, scrimping or saving to keep my horse.
I DO REALISE THAT THIS IS A BIG ASK, BUT THERE MUST BE ONE OUT THERE THAT WOULD BE RIGHT FOR ME AND WOULD NEED A LOVING, EXPERIENCED AND CARING HOME FOR LIFE. IF ANYONE CAN HELP OR HAS ANY IDEAS, PLEASE PM ME IN THE FIRST INSTANCE AND I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH MY NUMBER FOR A CHAT. BASED IN CHESHIRE AREA SO WITHIN REASONABLE TRAVELLING DISTANCE PLEASE.
LETS HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME TO FIND THIS SUPERSTAR PLEASE.
