Our adorable <strong>ponystrong> is well schooled, has great paces is easy to ride and is for sale due to be<strong>instrong>g outgrown by my daughter. He has many <strong>yearstrong>s left <strong>instrong> him and looks amaz<strong>instrong>g. He really is up for anyth<strong>instrong>g, he is excellent <strong>instrong> the heaviest of traffic <strong>instrong>clud<strong>instrong>g lorries, double deckers, comb<strong>instrong>e harvesters, skip lorries etc. He hacks alone perfectly either by himself or with company, he competes regularly and does well <strong>instrong> Work<strong>instrong>g Hunter Classes, Show<strong>instrong>g, Xcountry, Show<strong>jump<strong>instrong>gstrong>, Dressage, Hunter trials, Long Distant rides, ODE and has been attend<strong>instrong>g PC for the last three <strong>yearstrong>s <strong>instrong>clud<strong>instrong>g rallies and 4 day camp and area dressage. Currently <strong>jump<strong>instrong>gstrong> any height up to 2'6" maximum. Happy to go through water. Happy to be first or last. He will stand tied up to a trailor all day or can be happily left <strong>instrong>side a trailor at shows. He always does well at shows and <strong>instrong> the ribbons. Happy to be ridden bareback. He is excellent to catch, trim, pull<strong>instrong>g mane, bath, lunge, load, clip, worm, farrier and is up to date with worm<strong>instrong>g, teeth, vacc<strong>instrong>ations and back. He does not barge and is happy to be sprayed with flyspray etc. Lives <strong>instrong> or out alone or <strong>instrong> company with mares or <strong>geld<strong>instrong>gstrong>s. Happy to be <strong>instrong> a stable on straw or shav<strong>instrong>gs. Happy to have dry or wet hay. He has front shoes on every 5-6 weeks to keep his toes short. Has not lost a shoe s<strong>instrong>ce we have owned him. Excellent with electric fenc<strong>instrong>g. He does not particularly like his girth be<strong>instrong>g done up but if you speak to him before you do it he is usually f<strong>instrong>e. Brilliant with sheep chickens dogs etc. He is look<strong>instrong>g for a confident lightweight adult / child / teenager to enjoy his fun lov<strong>instrong>g, cheeky character. I have also ridden him but I am too heavy. I am 5'6" and easily suits my height as he is a hunter type. His breed<strong>instrong>g is unknown. He can be a novice ride on the lead re<strong>instrong> as my Daughter started off on the lead re<strong>instrong> with him but would not suit a total novice off the read re<strong>instrong> as he can be a bit cheeky and put <strong>instrong> the odd titchy little buck which is easy to sit and not nasty <strong>instrong> anyway (he would not do this with an adult or teenager). He is very happy to adapt to the level of any rider. He has been part of our life for 3 <strong>yearstrong>s and the previous owner for 10<strong>yearstrong>s (we still keep <strong>instrong> contact with them). Have loads of photos and videos. I am genu<strong>instrong>ely an honest person and keep <strong>instrong> contact with our last <strong>ponystrong> that we s<strong>oldstrong> three <strong>yearstrong>s ago and would like to do the same with whoever buys our lovely Brambles. He comes with a very good quality snaffle bridle, saddle, rugs etc. He has slight arthritis <strong>instrong> his near fore foot but does not normally need any treatment and this does not affect him. He would also be perfect for a mother / daughter share or an adult who wants to have fun hack<strong>instrong>g and hav<strong>instrong>g a go at anyth<strong>instrong>g as he can carry up to stone. Happy to answer any questions at all but hopefully I have detailed everyth<strong>instrong>g <strong>instrong> this advert This is a very difficult decision for my 11 <strong>yearstrong> <strong>oldstrong> daughter. A five star lov<strong>instrong>g home is far more important than price for handsome <strong>ponystrong>. We are based on the Essex / Suffolk border..
