Yearling cob gelding
Unfortunately going to have to sell our yearling due to possible lose of grazing and not enough time. Gorgeous little pony *BEN* Black 18 month old Gelding Cob Up to date with jabs & feet Passported Standing at around h ish to make 14hh+ (Unsure on height ATM because haven't been able to measure) We have only had Ben for just over month and he is very unhandled. But can definitely see a change. We got him with another pony and travelled for nearly 2 hours in a trailer no problem. He came with lice & half a mane. We got the vet to come a week later and we boxed him up with another pony and travelled them down to our friends yard for the vet to come give him his first jabs and to give him a check over. Vet had to sedate him to get near him but gave jab and made sure he was definitely a gelding (which he is). We were told he'd had his feet done in February (this year) so wasn't to worried what his feet would be like. But once the vet left we checked his feet and in no way had they ever been done in Feb, they were awful. so we got the farrier out whilst sedated and he managed to do all four feet although Ben was still trying to give it a kick with his back feet, the farrier sorted them out. We took him back to the field in the trailer again and no problem, just takes a few minutes to load and in. Since been back at the field we have taken him for a walk down the road, he wasn't really bothered by the traffic: bus, cars, lorries, tractor and trailer, just a little skit at the first few cars and then fine. It's clear he's never really been on a lead rein..but would perk up and walk quite happily at the front. When he first came we managed to change his headcollar in the field was a bit of a struggle but was needed because it was handing right down his nose. The other day he managed to rub different headcollar over his ear then he managed to get it off but we managed to pen him in the field and catch to put another on. He's starting to come closer, manage to feed him in a pen on a leadrope and stroke his face, ears, move headcollar and touch down to his withers. He's still very weary and jumps when you attempt to pat etc. He is definitely a baby and has been left to be a baby. He's living out with a mare no problem, she's the boss, will live with colts etc. He got out the field once but trotted over to the truck and then was no problem going back into the field with food. 100% needing a experienced home and someone to give him time. 100% honest post. He's having his feet done again and his second lot of jabs on Saturday 17th June. Will again be traveling in trailer. No time wasters. Message for more details:) Read More
