Wanted: Experienced adult to love my older pony and enjoy gentle hacking.
Located nr Yelverton with off-road hacking available.
I’m looking for a kind and experienced person to help gently hack my 16-year-old New Forest pony. He’s well-mannered and loves to explore, not ready to retire, but is starting to slow down a bit now. He does occasionally get the zoomies, but on the whole prefers a leisurely pace with stops to splash in puddles. He is a character and doesn't take life too seriously but is a solid, safe and reliable chap too. With fitness he can do more and loves long picnic rides in the summer, though fitness does take more time to build now.
I'd love to find someone with a bit of time on their hands who would enjoy spending time with him and love him as their own. No pressure to ride every time and I won't hold it against you if you prefer to pass on the worst weather days.
He lives with my Arab mares and will leave them happily to come in, be fussed, ride out etc but the right person will need to be calm and confident due to the herd living environment.
He is barefoot and wears hoof boots for hacking. As he's only 14h, he also has a weight limit of 10.5 stone.
No financial contribution required and I won't micromanage or rope you into all sorts, but I do require reliability and good communication. Please no novices.
