Introducing "Boo" 🖤

13hh Welsh cross, 18 yr old gelding.

This delightful wee guy is regrettably for sale as his rider has outgrown him. He is a lovely natured pony, and has been there done it all - with an outstanding history as a genuine kids pony - super safe, with absolutely no dirt whatsoever.

Boo has spent the last 2 years with his current family, living a lovely relaxed lifestyle - taking his young rider from lead rein, learning to canter on the lunge, and then riding off lead, jumping cross bars, attending pony club, ribbon days, hacking out and dressage days. Has done plenty of show jumping, show hunter and hunted with previous owners, and is a very honest jumper.

He is easy to handle in every way and stands quietly to be fussed over; kids can catch, lead, tack up etc etc. snaffle mouth, great for farrier (currently in front shoes but has been barefoot), and travels well in a straight loader float.

Boo has had no history of laminitis.

Boo is currently coming back into work after some time off, due to no fault of his own; his current owners have just found having two ponies in work a bit of a juggle since the new pony arrived. This has been factored into his price, and price may go up the more he comes back into work.

He has had arena rides as well as hacking out while he’s been here. A 10 year old rider of mine took him for his first hack across our farm, where he has never been before, and he happily marched along on the buckle, out on his own, off lead, no spook, not fussed by the dogs running around. Totally safe. Video of this available.

Boo is not hot or forward, but riders also don't need to kick, kick, kick to get him going and he has an easy-to-press canter button.

Comes with full wardrobe - fitted saddle (mounted), saddle pad, bridle, boots, covers etc.

Experienced homes only please - this is a special wee guy who deserves only the best of homes where he can show another young rider the joys of life with a pony.
