Our wonderful, safe, honest, fun pony Woody is now sadly for sale as he has been outgrown. We have owned him for over 3 years and he has been ridden by my two daughters and my friend's son. He has been brilliant with my very nervous daughter, teaching her to jump and making her love the sport again.
Woody is an amazing confidence giver and is almost always in the rosettes when he is competing. He has a heart of gold and is good to do. He hacks alone or in a group, including beach rides and fun rides. We have taken him to the gallops and he has never been silly or strong. He doesn’t buck, rear or kick. He has been ridden bareback to the field in a headcollar. He is great to clip, shoe, travel etc. He loves to be out in the field and can be a little keen when handled on the ground sometimes.
He took his previous young jockey from jumping 60cm to 90cm+. He also helped her develop her riding on the flat. Dressage is something he excels in; they won their section at the pony cub grassroots area competition and they were usually in the top 5 after the dressage when eventing. Woody has represented the Whaddon Chase PC in many teams both jumping and dressage and almost always been placed.
He is well schooled. Woody really knows his job cross country although we haven't done that with him. His previous owner reported that he was excellent at ditches, banks, water and skinnies, tricky lines etc. He is keen but he will only go as fast as the rider wants him to go, which instils a lot of confidence. In show jumping, he jumps all fillers, water trays and is a careful jumper.
Whilst he has had numerous clear rounds at 80cm and 90cm show jumping previously, we don’t think he is happy competing at 80cm any longer. He would be perfect for a new, young rider who wants to start out show jumping/ eventing / dressage at a lower level. At 50, 60 and 70cm he is an absolute rosette machine. and a very straight forward, fun and safe ride. At this height Woody will help his jockey and jump anything. He is very honest to jump.
He is fit and ready to go. He passed a full vetting when we bought him and has been sound throughout the time we’ve had him. Unfortunately, he does suffer from sweet itch during the summer months, which we manage with a sweet itch rug, bathing, herbs and creams.
Woody is one in a million and we love him to bits. We want to find the best possible home for him.
