Heather is unspoilt but very low milage due to no fault of her own. I purchased her in 2017 as a 4 year old and she has only been lightly ridden until this August due to my workload and caring long term for poorly family members. I'd love to keep her for ever but I feel she needs to go out and have fun before she gets any older, and be able to build a relationship with just one owner or family.
At the moment she is being professionally brought on by the well known professional Horse trainer Connie Colfox and her team. Heather is really loving being their and being ridden. Mostly she is now being ridden by a teenager and is really working well and enjoying being ridden on the flat, jumping and hacking out in company and alone.
she is a good strong old fashioned true to type Forester who moves well and rides bigger than 14hh with a good front. she has a green passport and was bred as a performance pony. Born June 2013.
She was purchased by me the owner to do all the things mentioned above as well as doing Equine Assisted Learning an therapy, which is what I do as a job. She has been a very good equine assisted therapy pony with young people and adults, and helped many people, but she's been telling me she just wants a one person or family home. She has always been well handled and has done lots of ground work and, liberty work, and has been doing activities such as ground work, being lead over obstacles, attuned natural horsemanship, mindfulness, and walk and talk in the woodland .
We are looking for a one owner or family who are knowledgable, common sense horse people who will have fun with her.
Please note back in 2017 and 2023 Heather was also poorly for a while, she had injuries to her stifles in 2017 (X rayed and all OK now), and she also came to me with stomach ulcers from an early age which have been treated and healed now, this was discovered in 2022, My vet last confirmed that all is OK in 2023 and advised the best treatment she can have is being ridden and being kept fit. I will have all the info in writing from my vet that all is now healed she was last checked as being all OK in 2023. hence the option to loan before buying. The owner or loaner needs to be sensitive to the fact that other than 2 months before lockdown she has not been ridden much until 23rd of August this year so it's going to really take until the spring to get her really fit.

Sorry to have to say this but no nervous or novice people, or big livery yards, or dealers pease.
