Sparky - 14hh registered Welsh section D gelding, 12 years old.
Been there done it, seen it and won it.
Sparky has been in the same home for the last 5 years as a mother daughter share. Takes the leg well so could easily take a small adult.
Competed regularly SJ up to 90cm, happiest around 70/80, has wins at 90 just needs setting up properly at this height. Competed at Hickstead and was 2nd in UA champs and 2nd last year in UA summer Champs at GW equine. Knows his job and is well behaved at shows, super against the clock.
Done a few ODE and won his last one, loves XC and has schooled round some big fences. Done arena eventing arena hires, been on pony club teams, wins at Prelim dressage. Flatwork a little rusty due to owners lack of facilities at home but can go nicely if asked. Loves his hacking alone and in company and is good in traffic, can get a little strong cantering behind but absolutely not nasty just a keen bean. loves nothing more than a bareback gallop round the field with his young rider!
80% of the time Sparky is the perfect pony, the other 20% can be a bit of a typical Welsh if not in consistent work. In no way a naughty or dangerous pony, just can be a bit hot/keen and have a very occasional cheeky buck - not head between the legs, more of a whoopee this is fun! Never unseated anyone (and hasn’t done it here with us at all as been in consistent work) so wouldn’t be for a nervous or novice rider. I actually borrowed him yesterday as a sensible lead horse that I could ride one handed and video from, to box up for a hack to the woods with a young one and he was perfect for this job!
Very very sad sale on behalf of owner. Daughter has outgrown/lost interest and mum is only getting the opportunity to hack once or twice a week which isn’t enough for him. He doesn’t need working every single day but a 4 day a week type of home with some fun stuff included is more what he needs.
Very easy to do day to day, an absolute pleasure to have on the yard. Loves a fuss and a groom, a really kind pony.
Happy in or out. Barefoot never needed shoes, can be a touch nervous with vet/farrier but just needs a kind hand and to get to know them. Up to date on vaccinations.
Good to load, wash off, clip (again a touch wimpy about it but mum has been doing him herself and gets along fine).
Comes with his saddle, two bridles and some rugs.
