Companion or pamper/pet pony
With a very heavy heart I am offering my lovely boy for sale. I bought him in the summer as a project pony, with the intention of him being a lead rein pony for my 3 year old daughter. My inexperience unfortunately meant that I bought a pony who can't be ridden. This is due to him having locking stifles in both hind legs. He has "stiff" days and not so bad days, has been seen to gallop around the field with his buddies, jumping the nettles like he hasn't got a care in the world! This does not affect his temperament and lovely nature. He is fantastic to be around, is used to children and is handled by them daily. He is good to brush, dress up, walk around the field and lanes. Lives out all year round with mares and geldings of varying sizes. He is 3 years old, approx 10.2hh with a bit of growing to do, passported, chipped, has had feet trimmed under my ownership once and was wormed 8 weeks ago. I have been having Bowen therapy performed on him to help with any discomfort, this does seem to have helped slightly. He doesn't appear to be uncomfortable and has had this problem since he was a foal. Very easy to do and is on his 7th week since seeing farrier with virtually no growth to report. I have been in contact with previous owner who lightly backed him and she had been told by their vet that he would outgrow the stifle problem. However, I am not in a position to agree with this and will not sell as ridden pony. He will only go to the perfect home, ideally local so I can keep in touch as very, very sad sale. Any enquiries welcomed. Read More
