Johny, Friendly Happy hacker. Hampshire/ West Sussex border.
Johny, A really lovely Dales type 13.3hh gelding. 10 years old. He is currently used in Willowbrook riding centre for hacking. He takes absolutely anyone out on our rides, from the smallest children on the leadrein, to small adults that have never sat on a horse before for a plod around the village but is equally happy going out for a couple of hours over the downs for a nice canter. He is always a safe steady ride, he is never going to win any races. Snaffle mouthed and we always ride him on a loose rein (You can drop the reins completely and he doesn't change). He is happy in heavy traffic and past farm animals. He is happiest following as you do need lots of leg to go in front, but behind he keeps up. He is a lovely pony to look after, very easy, anyone can lead him and fuss with him. You can ride him every day, or leave him in the field for weeks, he still rides the same. He is chilled in the stable or in the field. Happy living in or out, good with mares and geldings. He loves a groom and is good to bath, load, shoe e.t.c. We are having trouble with videos at the moment, but when the computer is sorted will add a video.
