12.3hh Piebald Cob Gelding

Overview

Mickey is an awesome 12.3hh (+-) four year old (turns five in January 2023) piebald cob gelding. He is fab to catch, groom, tack up, bathe, shoe, etc as well as to ride.
Don’t be put off by his age! He has an incredible temperament and has proven bombproof in many situations out hacking and in our busy riding school/pony party business! An old head on a young body, he has already worked in our riding school for six months, carrying a mix of riders from total beginners through to experienced children. He is used to a busy pony party environment- lots of children, loud noises, bunting, balloons, you name it! He’ll stand happily and patiently all day, tied up with a hay-net and water bucket. He loves to be groomed and pampered, often has six children brushing him at a time here. He is an affectionate, kind pony who loves humans. Vice free, open to any vetting.
He has been professionally produced and loves going cross-country! With us, he has done some jumping, further dressage schooling, taken part in fun gymkhanas and also done lots of hacking (roadwork needed to access all of our local bridle paths) alongside his regular work in the riding school.
Mickey shows lots of potential to be an awesome all-rounder/PC/sports pony and we believe could turn his hoof to anything with the right child/family. He is pretty, well mannered and correct enough for the show ring – he was also trained to drive as part of his early education (was driven out on busy roads with lorries, motorcycles etc – hence extremely quiet and confident on hacks).
He is very well behaved when on lead-rein and is sensible with younger rides on him, never silly. May have a look if something jumps out a bush but has never reacted to hazards in a dangerous way (he is calmer/more laid back than many of the older horses). He is also tons of fun for the more experienced and confident rider. Loves cross country jumping and going on long hacks! He has a super, ground covering walk and easily keeps up with our 16hh horses out hacking. Not yet taken him hunting, but we imagine he’d love it.
Comes with tack, 5 ⭐️ home is a must for this gorgeous chap where he will be loved and pampered!
