‼️LEASED‼️
**LONG TERM FREE LEASE**
Hey everyone,
In February I will be heading down south to uni. Zig zag has a few things going on, which is why I would like him to be somewhere where he will be able to be watched by someone experienced. While he has his flaws, for some reason he is still one of my favourite ponies I have ever owned which is why I am offering him for long term free lease instead of selling.
Zig zag is a 14.2hh rising 12 year old QH x Appy. He has previously done SJ, Eventing, PC etc etc but for the reasons I am about to list he is now not to be jumped/needs an experienced home:
- He has cataracts in his eyes - no he is not blind at all but his vision isn’t 100%, vet’s said he could probably still jump however he made it clear that he is not comfortable jumping anymore which is why under no circumstances would he be jumped in a new home.
- He has had a laminitis flair up previously and gains weight very easily - needs to be managed feed wise
- Has a heart murmur - doesn’t affect him but something else to note
- Gets bumps in summer - biopsied by the vets and can’t figure out what causes them, so he wears a sheet in summer which seems to help reduce them/stop them
- Has sarcoids on his face - don’t affect him so were told to leave them, however could require treatment in the future
- Sometimes he can nip and kick in paddock especially when it involves food and can all round be a grumpy appy not often but something to be aware of - so not for kids without experienced supervision
- Is a complete ass to worm, you get it done eventually but it requires patience
THE GOOD:
- Good for farrier - barefoot
- Self loads onto the float
- Because he gets fat from the smell of grass he can live on very little feed
- Has always been bottom of peaking order
- All round he is pretty good to handle, just need to be aware of the nipping and kicking so why he needs someone experienced
- Very lazy to ride if this is what you like, happy to go on chill hacks every now and again
- Pull him out of the paddock once every few months and go, always the same
- Looks cool? 😂
With the free lease I would be happy to take him back any time if for whatever reason he didn’t work out. It sounds like a lot, but honestly he is happy as just in a paddock with little/low quality grass and he just chills. Ideally looking for someone who is wanting a paddock mate or light happy hacking horse. I am sure he could also be good lead rein, but as I said previously I think it would be best to have someone experienced handling him. I would like him to stay in the Wairarapa only and there will be a contract involved. I have had him for 6+ years so I will be picky!!!
Please PM me with any questions!!
