Barn Name: Pal
Breed: Pony
Height: approx 13.2hh (will measure)
Age: 15 y/o
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Palomino
Health:
Excellent, Easy Keeper, UTD on Shots May
'09 (Flu/EVR, WNV, Rabies, Tetnus,
Strangles)
Lameness: None - Sound
Vices: None
Personality:
Friendly. Easy to Catch, Lead, Groom,
Tie, Trim, Trailer, etc. Good with other
horses, ponies and donkeys. Downside
is..... he is too hot for timid riders
such as his previous owners, which is
why he is here. He may also have some
previous abuse as he has trust issues
under saddle.
History/Training:
Purchased for $2500 from a dealer in
Sept '07 they had hoped that with
regular riding and lessons that he would
be suitable for their daughter but sadly
she never felt comfortable riding him as
she always felt like he could explode!
Future/Suitability: English or
Western, Show or Pleasure - Not Suitable
for a Beginner Rider
Additional
Info: Provided by previous owners ....
He certainly knows walk, trot, canter.
Never refuses a jump. Just has a
tendency to be quite goey (how do you
like that word). You will find he just
doesn't seem to relax as most horses and
ponies do after you begin to work them
regularly. He holds his head quite high
and may scoot if you use too much leg.
When you get on he may also kind of
scoot. He does not buck or rear. He was
more suited to a jointed pelham and a
running martingale. He also gets quite
goey when you reach forward to praise
him. He has confused me because he is so
good on the ground - and yet quite
nervous under saddle. He does have some
holes in his training, but someone did a
lot of ground work with him. I am
thinking he may be more suited to
barrels and such - something that has a
pattern - he goes - does his job - and
is finished. I really don't know his
calling but certainly hope we (you) can
figure it out.
