7 year old Registered Dales Section A 14hh. Proper old fashioned Dales Pony type with lots of straight silky mane and feathers (no need for straighteners!) and active, correct movement.
He is honest, easy to do and a pleasure to have on the yard.
He was shown successfully in hand in 2024 and has done a handful of Ridden shows this summer, does not require hours of working in or calmers.

He has a fabulous walk which makes hacking out really pleasurable, and I have used him to accompany other newly broken ponies this summer.
Purchased as a 2 year old and left to mature, backed summer 2023, turned away before being sent away for hacking experience spring 2024, (my lanes are too lethal for babies unless accompanied and at the time I was on my own). Due to my work commitments and other ponies, he was turned away again and did a few bits of work from the field summer 2024. He was then brought in Autumn 2024 and hacked regularly over the winter. In Spring 2025 he started work properly, as I had no where to ride at home he went out for lessons, pole work clinics, and riding round at a couple of shows where he was one of the easiest ponies I have ever had to start taking out. My daughter has then spent her summer holidays working him and he has come on fantastically. He is loving his work and tries hard.
I think we have done the ground work now for him to be extremely successful, he has certainly not been rushed and everything has been done properly.
Unfortunately due to family illness and daughter now at University I do need to be sensible and sell him even though he is the easiest on the yard for me to do on my own. I have advertised him previously rather half heartedly as I wasn't really committed to selling him and I wanted to ensure he was going properly so that he found the home he deserves and after a summer of work he is now ready to make someone a fabulous family friend or reach his full potential competing.
