141 cms LHC Chestnut gelding, 11 years NPS and PBA reg. A striking pony with a lovely walk and fantastic movement. We have only done SHP with him but he has the potential to be a top class dressage pony. He is 100% to box, shoe, clip, catch, traffic and to hack out. Has attended pony club rallies and jumps at home but my daughter prefers 4 feet on the ground. He was bought for my very nervous daughter because of his laid back attitude and, although they have done well, after four years with us he should have achieved more. Unfortunately my daughter is not cut out for showing and freezes when in the ring so this pony has not been shown to his full potential. So after much soul searching and considering she is now 17 we have decided that before he gets too old someone else should have some fun with him. He has now been jumping all winter, pony club and showjumping clinics, and although still very novice and green, he is showing great promise and loving it. He does crib at feedtimes and this is reflected in the price, but he will stand all day in the stable with a haynet and not crib at all. This is a great pony that has been totally wasted with us so a good home is a must. Please pm me for more details. £2500 ono

Thought it was. Cant believe your daughter is 17 already, where did that time go!!!!!As regards him doing well at dressage, don't forget he did some with us before you had him. Only unaffiliated prelims but did really well, with over 70% every time (even first ever test!). The girl who rode him for me was really 'into' dressage and really rated him, she thought he would do very well in affiliated dressage. Glad he is well, do let me know where he goes when you sell him will you. Thanks Victoria

Hi Victoria! Thought it might be you! Re the dressage we've had comments too that he should be doing aff dressage coz as both you and I know he is such a lovely mover. Please try and find him a nice home for us, with someone who will do really well on him. But I will keep you posted!
Edited - please keep the personal chit chat to a minimum.....PM system is more appropriate for that. Otherwise it looks like an excuse to bump your advert.

If anyone wants to see a picture of Fred looking like a dressage pony, I think there is still a picture of him on my very out of date website www.highhillstud.com
