Dakota Blue:
Dakota is a solid 12.2/3hh piebald gelding and he should mature to 13hh - as he's bum high. He is broken in and riding away. Hacking out confidently alone with someone on foot with a child riding or with other ponies. Excellent in traffic and very used to all farm machinery.
Schooling nicely in walk and trot, still a little rushed in the canter, but he's learning quickly. Jumping little cross poles independently with a novice, young rider. Beautifully marked boy - he is stunning in every way. Wormed, vaccinated and feet are trimmed up-to-date. Very sad sale, he's just a little smaller than hoped.
I have owned him for 18 months. He is kind, genuine and a real trier! Two beautiful blue eyes, long flowing locks and lots of feather. He has been in-hand showing and goes down very well with the judge!
I was told he'd make 13.2hh and the seller didn't know his exact birthdate. Jan 2020 was a guess from the seller. After I had passported him, my dentist aged him at definitely at least 6 months younger if not more, but I'd already passported him with Jan 2020 birthdate. With the dentist estimate that would be a July 2020 birthdate making him just turned 4. So he might reach a little closer to the height I was told.
He will make someone a stunning pony, he's genuine in every way and loves fuss and attention. Loves a bath and the solarium! I have videos of him being ridden by a novice young rider and he is kind and sensible. Even though I am too big on him, I have hacked him out on the buckle of the reins, just for 10 mins at a time and he is amazing in traffic and not at all spooky at anything! Β£3500
