Potential of a great jumping pony (+ tack and more). in
Bob the cob! Bob will come with: Black English leather bridle Black Wintec adjustable saddle (with girth, leathers and stirrups and saddle cloth) Fly veil Head Collar and lead rope Fleece rug, Medium turnout rug Medium stable rug, Travelling bandages and if required a couple of buckets and a hay net! A lovely, little lad that needs a more confident and experienced rider than my daughter! We bought Bob at Christmas time for my novice daughter but he is proving to be too strong for her, please don't let this put you off as his previous owner had him for 5 years (as his passport shows) and she only sold him due to work/family commitment. Bob has been ridden out with a combination of mares and geldings and thoroughly enjoys the company; he has been ridden behind others in order to build up his confidence in unfamiliar surroundings but has willingly taken front place when asked to do so. However, Bob can be a bit nervous out on his own so needs a rider capable of 'moving him on'. He has a lovely little trot and a nice canter but sometimes tries to pull and gain control which has put my daughter off riding him. I am currently exercising Bob three times a week and I feel he needs at least this. Some days he is ridden in the school and others out (combination of tracks, fields and roads (passed buses, caravans...without a fuss)). When riding he will stand to open/close gates. Bob has a great jump but does sometimes rush into it; he loves this work so with time and experience he will make a fabulous jumping pony. Has been clipped, bathed, shod (front two only) and boxed before. Bob has great stable manners - he doesn't push or barge at all and he is great to catch (but doesn't always come over so you'll have to go and collect him!). Farrier and dentist up to date; as is passport
