14.1hh welsh d bombproof suitable pony club alrounder pony
14.1hh 13 year old registered Welsh D gelding Rotherdale Viscount Ollie is a fantastic, stunning little pony, I cannot fault him in any way. He is very laid back & is not fazed by the slightest thing! He is good as gold to handle on the ground, clip, travel, load for the farrier, dentist etc. Stands lovely and quietly for whatever you ask of him. He is literally worth his weight in gold! I have had total novices on him including a 6 year old who was having regular lessons on him. I have showjumped Ollie, and he has shown great scope (as shown in photos) but since he was jumping more regularly he developed a more flatter jump, so does not cat leap anymore, and has a lovely comfy jump. He has done fantastic at dressage and has created some lovely scores! He is a bombproof hack, does not spook at anything unnecessary, canters beautifully in open fields & more than happy to be left behind or held back. Never gets strong or silly. Fantastic in heavy traffic, farm machinery, bikes, lorries, etc. He is a kick along ride unless you get someone on him that's knows how to push his buttons and make him work. He can be ridden in a hanging cheek snaffle or a Dutch gag as he always falls asleep when he is being ridden and can be a bit hard to turn if you have a child who cannot use their legs to back up the hands! But he is mostly ridden in a loose ring snaffle. Laid back at shows with and without company - does not call or get stressed. I genuinely think this pony would be a fantastic pony club pony for a competent child wanting to go out and compete and have good fun & parents not having to worry about their child not being safe! Ollie will not only keep your child safe but he will bring home the red rosettes! He has done various activities from le trec, beach rides, xc, sj, mounted games, horseball etc. This is a completely heartbreaking sale but work commitments & family problems are pushing me to the limit and I can just simply no longer cope. 5* home only & a lifetime home will have priority over anyone else! Would like to stay in contact with whoever he goes too. Read More
