This is the most difficult horse sale
our family has had to make, but it is
time to sell our little Peek-a-Choo. He
is a very special, unique little horse
and I can honestly say that he taught
both of my boys how to ride. He is
BROKE. Really broke! If a pony could
be "bombproof," this guy is.
From
the day we got him, my then 5 and 4 year
old boys have done everything with this
little pony - picked his feet, climbed
all over him, saddled him by themselves,
given him baths, and most importantly,
safely ridden him both bareback and
under saddle. He is a sweet, gentle,
kind little pony and he has had more
kids on his back than I can count. He
has been taken for "show and tell" at
school, exercised with a golf cart
around our neighborhood, carried my sons
safely to get lunch at the local
sandwich shop (and tied calmly to a tree
while we all ate), and navigated
Yosemite like a pro. He slept overnight
on the picket line with the big horses,
walked CALMLY through the covered bridge
over the Merced River, and rode nicely
for my son around the golf course trail.
(We have had many big horses spook on
this trip and as always, Peek-a-Choo
stunned us with his relaxed attitude
through it all).
However, my boys
are now ready to transition. My husband
and I ride gaited horses and though
Peek-a-Choo can still easily carry our
boys, the gaits are incompatible. We
bought Peek-a-Choo for a season (to get
our boys into horses without scaring
them) and this little pony has exceeded
our wildest expectations.
As for
his price, you simply can't pay enough
for a horse/pony like this. He is
priced based on his MIND and the peace
of mind he will give you when putting
your children on him. I spent $5500 on
a 19 year old horse for the same reason,
and he taught both of my older children
how to ride. If you skimp on price, you
could end up scaring your children away
from horses completely and as far as I'm
concerned, better to pay the money up
front for a horse you can trust than to
save a little money for a horse that
isn't predictable.
As for the
standard questions, Peek-a-Choo
literally hops into the trailer. His
best buddy is our giant Tennessee
Walking Horse, whom he stands under most
of the day. He has NEVER kicked and has
no vices. Though we've never tried it
ourselves, his previous owner used to
bring Peek-a-Choo into their house!
(And he was also in a couple of movies
in Los Angeles).
If you have any
questions, please call Kerry at
559-903-8393. I have lots of video that
I will post shortly (you will note that
my son LOVES Native Americans and is
often dressed like an Indian -
Peek-a-Choo was a real live prop in his
imaginary play!). Needless to say, this
pony must go to a long-term, FABULOUS
home...
