YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A BUYER BEWARE
HERE !!
Our pony has a history as do
all but, we will disclose all to you as
well as give referrences, our trainer's
#, and full access to our veterinarian
records to you. We do need to sell as
we have no more room at the barn, so to
speak, but we will allow a trial (to
good home, also w/referrences) if you
need one as we are confident and want a
great home for this pony and not a quick
sale with a disappointed buyer and have
our pony not be loved or well cared for.
FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW:
"Dream"
will be a pony your child can learn with
and be safe. We bought her when our
daughter was 3 yrs old to accomplish
just that confidence, Dream was 4 then
and was being used as a lesson horse by
our trainer. She is a beautiful liver
chestnut, very cute with a body more
like a horse, not the pony look. She
has very fine legs and a welch pony face
and head. Her hair is short-never needs
to be clipped aside from the ears and
face before the shows. She is safe in
the stall and on the ground with 10
little girls crowding around her and
dragging her around the yard - or
painting her w/chalk paint! She puts up
with it! She does not bite or kick. If
your child was alone with her in the
stall you'd never have to worry. She
will help build that confidence in horse
care for your pre-rider. She is great
for the farrier and vet, she loads
easily - just walks in and clips easily
too. She's been in the childrens shows
these last few years but she will
trail-ride for hours -she loves to trail
ride the best; we've been on 5 hour
rides with overnight camping w/her. Our
14 yr old daughter learned to ride with
this pony at age 10. She loves
pretending to be dog and follow you
around and put her head in your
lap.
She is up to date on coggins =
Sept '09-10.
Teeth were floated Tues.
Sept. 29th.
Vaccines will be due
again in 2 months. She is in egg-bars
up front if used for lessons or show,
otherwise she can be barefoot. She can
do w/t, low poles. Crossrails have been
done and lead changes need further
training for the shows. Jumping her any
higher is not recommended d/t her
conformation since it would put risk to
her fetlocks/suspensory ligaments.
Anyway, she doesn't like to jump any
higher.
We began using her for
leadline when our daughter was 3, our
daughter is now 7 1/2 yrs old and needs
a stepping stone pony for the shows.
Dream will pull and challenge her rider
once in awhile (classic pony) so she
needs a child who has evolved enough in
riding/arm strength to redirect her when
she does this. If you are buying her for
the shows specifically then I recommend
her for lead-line and then skip to
advanced beginner-w/trainer, new
beginners would be pulled over to the
grass and not be able to learn. Advanced
beginners = young girls 8 yrs old w/1
year of riding have done fine on her at
our trainers facility during
lessons.
This is a learned behavior
and if your child doesn't let her get
away with it, it will stop. We put
anti-grazing lines on her and it worked
perfectly. Dream has had some
professional training and will respond
well with more.
She is not spooky, in
fact I have only recently seen her jump
at a Tennessee Walker that was coming at
her in the September show, the
exaggerated head movement did it.
Otherwise I have never seen her spook on
the trail or ring or show in last 4
years. She will walk over any thing in
her path rather than trip or
spook.
One more reason I bought her
for our daughter.
She gets along
with all animals (we have many) but
other horses do pick on her, she is
wimpy that way but will bond with other
mares.
Dream is very used to
machinery, tractors, cars, atv's,
children running and yelling, etc. She
will not flinch, in fact walks right by
our working backo, etc.
We can
trailer her to you depending on how far
you are.
She will be w/trainer again
after 10/10.
She is a sweet pony but
we need to clear room in the barn and
move on.
She has been used by us
and will be good for the
following:
lessons, trail, family
horse, pony rides,
at shows:
lead-line, walk, w/t, w/t-poles.
She
must have a kind, consciencious new
owner to love her.
As our daughter
loves her and will never forget
her!
