Advert Description
Alfie is available for part loan a few days a week. He is based in Radcliffe.
He is 14 years old. Not suitable for a novice as he has his little quirks which can make him unpredictable at times until you know him.
He hacks happily alone although may be less confident in unfamiliar situations.
He can kick out at other horses if too close so he is better at the back in groups.
Although he can be a challenge at times he has no malice toward his humans and is good natured and good to be around in the stable and field etc. he is full of character and super cheeky. He does need reminding of his manners from time to time and a typical pony who if given an inch will take a mile.
He needs a kind yet Confident experienced handler.
We have an exercise area/school but he does lack umph in this and hasn’t had much experience so bores easily. He seeks mental stimulation but with the right person showing him he can have fun this could change.
Alfie is on a strict low sugar diet and exercise is a necessity for him, he currently doesn’t get out as much as he needs and the fitter he gets the better he will be.
He can be nappy when leaving the yard or in unfamiliar settings but does go with a bit of encouragement.
He doesn’t like to travel but again with the right person this maybe overcome with training.
All in all if your a confident knowledgeable lightweight adult/elder teen who likes a challenge with a fun seeking pony to hack and play with and pamper,his your guy.
If you want to travel all over and just school and go to shows he’s not for you.
Requires a lightweight small Adult or elder teen. Kind patient and confident, Someone into horsemanship would be great for him.
He could thrive in the right hands.
He is an amazing pony!
Small financial contribution required to help towards his upkeep.
And own personal riding insurance is a must.
