13.2hh, 7 year old, chestnut gelding with 3 white socks and a blaze. very chunky true to type welsh section C.
Charlie has competed in rallies, dressage, cross country, show jumping, hacking and fun rides. he has won numerous showing classes (local and county level) and dressage competitions. he very rarely has a pole down and never refuses. although he excels in the show ring, his angle would be dressage/jumping/ode as he finds it much more enjoyable.
he has only been competed lightly over the few years due to my commitments, his talents really are wasted with us. his only showing outing this year resulted in: 1st 2ft whp, 2nd 2ft 3" m&m whp, 1st 2ft 6" whp and 2nd m&m ridden. he also did cross country for the first time this summer and went clear over a 2ft 3" - 2ft 6" course including tyres, ditch, logs, barrels, shrubs.
i have spent the summer mainly hacking as i have lost interest in showing after doing it for the last 18 years! he is fit and well muscled because of this as we go for between 2 and 4 hours at a time. he is happy to go first or last when hacking in a group. he is safe in heavy traffic - we have to use the main road for any decent hacking facilities so is used to lorries, buses, caravans, motorbikes.
this pony is a very smart little chap. i cannot practice my show or dressage tests too many times as he will try and guess what is next!! he has also worked out if he wees in a bucket (saves valuable time in the morning when mucking out!!), he gets a carrot!! this pony really is one in a million.
he works perfectly in an outline with minimal effort. he is a forward going but responsive ride. ridden in a snaffle at all times. he is very people orientated and gets his confidence from his rider.
without a doubt he will go to the top with the right rider. please no novices or people looking for a first pony as we are looking for a quiet, confident experienced family home.
we are in no rush, this is going to be the most heartbreaking sale, so no time wasters please. the decision to sell him has taken a lot of thought but he deserves to find a long term home where he can do pony club/ode/dressage/jumping. he is wasted with us now due to work commitments, and we would be selfish to keep him. his future owner must be prepared to keep in touch and let us come and visit him from time to time as the last 6 years with him have been an absolute pleasure.
he is fully vaccinated, great with the farrier, to box, in traffic. well mannered and great to handle.

(he was previously for sale on this site a year ago but i couldnt cope with the thought of him going so we changed our minds, but now i have to face up to the fact that i really don't have the time to do him justice)
