Dinky came to me in Feb 24, having come off the forest in December 23. She was unsure of domesticated life but has always shown a willingness to please and learn. I have given her all the time she has needed through each stage of groundwork and ridden life.

Dinky is now a happy, bubbly little pony who is enjoying learning everyday. She is impeccably well-mannered and can be handled by anyone, often being led by non-horsey relatives. She has 3 balanced, floaty paces on the flat and has proven confident over poles. She is now jumping small courses and has seen fillers, water trays, oxers and combination fences without a worry. She is an extremely quick learner and is progressing in the school everyday, she is forward and riding nicely in a contact, leg yielding and starting to get flying changes when jumping. Although much more confident than when she arrived, Dinky can be green at times, where she will take a moment to process new things, and therefore will need a quiet, confident person to continue her education.

She is snaffle mouthed, always sane and sensible, never strong or silly. She loves hacking! She is happily hacking alone and in company, in front or behind. She is forward out hacking but not silly or strong, just loving life. She has proven to be good in traffic, she will sometimes have a look if something rattles or flaps in a funny way, she has been past tractors, lorries and heavy machinery without a problem. We hack on small country lanes with only small pull ins to get out of the way of traffic but this has never been a problem.

Dinky has been to multiple arena hires, spider rides, clear rounds, an in hand show where she behaved impeccably, two ridden shows where she won her first dressage with 66.52% after just 4 weeks of being backed, and picked up 2nd and 3rd in prelim tests at British Dressage under an affiliated judge. She has jumped on grass and on a surface, including indoor and outdoor arenas. She takes everything in her stride and is a pleasure to take out. On her first beach ride she went in the sea, walked, trotted and cantered in front and behind and was an absolute pleasure. The longer she is with me the more she will do and price will increase, we’re currently going out in the lorry every week to different venues doing different disciplines. She would make an ideal allrounder, PC/RC pony, competition pony, endurance pony or would thrive in the show ring.

Dinky is happy to live in or out, with others or on her own. She is completely unfazed if all the other horses are brought in and she is left out, or if everyone leaves the yard and she is left in, she really is so easy to have around. She’s good to catch, clip, bath, for the vet and farrier, and loads well into our 3.5t lorry. She is currently barefoot and is up to date with feet, teeth, wormer and vaccinations.

Dinky is a forward thinking pony, she is still green and takes confidence from her rider, therefore she would not be suited as a first pony but would be ideal for a competent child, small adult or mother-daughter share. I am 5ft7 and ride her comfortably.

Dinky will try her heart out and make the best friend for her next jockey. She really is the sweetest mare and is a much loved yard favourite. The first person to view her will love her. She is fit and ready to go.

5* experienced home only for this super little mare. I have an abundance of photographs and videos to share. Open to any vetting.
