Mags was purchased a little over a year ago for a nervous rider coming off a kick along first ridden type, needing something to take her further. Within a matter of months he had taken her from jumping 50cm courses to popping fences at 90cm plus. He is a really smart pony who knows his job, even if his rider doesn’t see a stride, he will make it and jumps for fun. As he did for us he is capable of stepping down for a nervous ride while building their confidence. Mags works sweetly on the flat and lunges like dream.
Prior to our purchasing him, he was ridden by two other young riders who he took through pony club and regularly competed he was hunted, did stay away shows, pony club camps and fun rides. In a competition setting we feel Mags takes his confidence from his rider so would be suited to a non competitive home or one that is prepared to establish a relationship as opposed to one wanting to go out and compete immediately.
Currently Mags is at school with my daughter where he is her sole responsibility and is easy for a child to look after. He comes home to livery for the holidays and takes moving and new places in his stride. My daughter hacks alone for hours with him and he has proved safe and sensible, unfazed by traffic of any kind and is great in open spaces including x-country schooling.
He will travel by lorry or trailer, stands quietly tied to the vehicle at shows and is the same well behaved pony whether ridden at home or away. He is a forward going easy, responsive ride and can occasionally give an excited little buck when hacking in a group but it is nothing nasty just enthusiasm, that said he is not strong, will listen to his ridder and has good brakes, he is snaffle mouthed.
Mags was diagnosed with low grade EMS two summers ago. However with a change of diet and careful weight management he has been fit and well ever since and it does not affect him in any way, nevertheless his price does reflects this and I am happy to discuss his condition further. He is good to shoe, up to date with vaccinations, dentist and worming and he can be clipped without sedation. All in all he is a cracking little pony who is sadly outgrown, we wish we had found him sooner so we could have made the most of all this lovely chap has to offer.
Mags will be home for the coming half term, 25th May - 1st June, he can be viewed in Hertfordshire (nr J 22 M25)
Nearly new Kent and Masters jumps, saddle and rugs etc are available at separate negotiation.
