This is a very sad sale of a much loved pony. Sid has given my son so much fun and really taught him how to ride. Sid can turn his hoof to anything:-
*XC machine, show jumping (competing 70/80) Team chase, ODE's, local shows, PC rallies & camps, NSEA, Arena eventing, hunter trials, beach rides, hacks alone & in company - he really is a supercob! Qualified for PC mini champs last year show jumping and always in the rosettes. He would be great hunting prospect although we haven't done so, he has with previous owners.

Sid is a forward but safe ride therefore would not be suitable for a novice or nervous rider, he is better suited to a confident rider who wants to get on and get the job done at a decent pace. His real love is jumping competing at 70/80cm and is an absolute machine at XC, never refuses a fence with a good controlled pace. He excels in both these disciplines but can get very excited. He has jumped 1.10cm at home.

Sid is good to load, infact will load himself he is so keen, good for the farrier, good with traffic, never sick or sorry, no history of laminitis, turned out in a mixed herd, doesn't buck, rear or bolt, up-to-date with vaccines, worming & dentist. Do not be put off by his age as he has so much more to give, if I thought he could retire to a field then I would but he would be miserable and has so much more to give. He has sadly been outgrown by my 14 year old son, who has also lost interest in riding.

The not so good bits - Sid does need sedating to clip him, however you can hog him without. He would benefit from being turned out in a small paddock as catching him in a large space is not always easy until he gets to know and trust you. However this is reflected in his price along with not having a very enthusiastic rider anymore.

This really is a very sad sale and he will only be going to a five * home. Good trial facilities. Taunton Vale PC DC is happy to chat to any prospective purchasers. This is a honest ad as I want him to be in a forever home. No dealers. Video's on request.

Sid has been professionally bitted by Charlotte Warman and saddle fitted. Tack will be included for this reason.
