Poppy
13 years old
12.2 hh
Looking for a new 🏡 through no fault of her own. She was bought by us a year ago as a LR/first pony for my daughter. She has been a wonderful member of our family and I am truly heartbroken to be selling her so please only serious enquires. This is a very honest ad as I only want someone who is going to make poppy a member of their family and really love her.
While poppy was sold to us as a first pony she would definitely make a much better second pony. She needs a rider who knows more and wants to do more with her then just plod around as she loves having a job to do. She has been brilliant with my daughter but as my daughter gets nervous so easily, poppy is just too forward going for her when off the Lead rein. On the lead rein she has been good as gold and has been used for my 6/7 year old daughter, 6 year old step daughter and 2 year old niece. My daughter has learnt to walk, trot and canter (on the lead rein) in the sandschool and has popped a few small cross poles on the lead rein with Poppy. She is regularly lunged. She is more than happy to hack out alone or with others at front or back. She is the best pony out on a hack and never spooks with traffic, no matter what goes past. She has helped my daughter come off the lead rope and ride alone. She has 3 lovely paces and ridden in a snaffle.
When we first got her she was very nervous, spooky and spicy, she was scoped and had ulcers. She completed her treatment and has had the all clear from the vet through another scope. She is now much happier and relaxed. She was also shy in the stable but never aggressive, she is now always coming up to greet everyone and has become a favourite up the yard. She will always come greet you at the gate of her field when she hears us coming too. Is regularly caught and walked up and down to the field by the kids. Groomed by the kids. She is good for the vet, dentist and farrier. Will be bathed but isn’t a fan and can get nervous. She is currently out but in the winter is stabled at night. Good with dogs, to clip and travel. Up to date with teeth and vaccinations.
I have tons of videos and pictures of her but if you want anything in particular please just ask.
3🥕🥕🥕 Ono and will only go to the best home. Will come with full wardrobe to include saddle, bridle, 1x fleece, 3 stable rugs, 5 turnout rugs, 1 fly rug, headcollar, Lead ropes and a few other bits.
