Duncan has successfully competed in the 3’ and 2’6” eq & hunters with many accolades along the way, and is now looking for a “step-down” flat job. He is THE ultimate horse for a rider to build a solid flatwork foundation on and learn to navigate a course over ground poles. He is beyond comfortable, rhythmic and adjustable with the best lead changes… and a beautiful mover!

“Balou” is the ultimate {adorable} leadline pony for your tiniest rider looking to fall in love with ponies. He welcomes stall snuggles and will stand for endless hours to be groomed, bathed, tacked, get dressed up, stand ringside at shows or be hand grazed.

Short term leadline only lease available in the 4 figures. Would love to see him go south for the winter.. He freshly body clipped and ready to go! Please pm or text 484-824-1110 for more information.
