Ponyboy "Pony" is an 11y/o Arabian/Paint gelding looking for his forever home. He is approximately 16.2 hands in height and is great shape overall. When i first met him, i was told that he had been previously used in cross country and was frequently used for trail rides under the care of his previous owner. Although he has not been used for cross country activities for some time, he is fully capable of going over small jumps with some reassurance, though, i would prefer that he goes to a home that didn't jump him on a frequent basis. For the past few years ive had him (~3), I've mainly worked him western pleasure (which he seems to have taken a great liking to), but he is very comfortable with riding English too. Although I was unable to work him as much as I wouldve liked to, he has remained a very sound and gorgeous mover for as long as ive had him for. I must stress thay Pony is in need of a rider who has light hands and corrections and is willing to work with him through both good and bad days. He has a brilliant mind and is heavily focused on his work. For as long as ive known him, he has ways taken his work seriously. Every step of the way, he is thinking about his next move and is very mindful of the cues that his riders gives him. He still has a bit more to learn, but with the right rider, he will reward you handsomely for your patience. The first thing youll note when you work with him is that he is a very quick learner and takes pride in pleasing his people. Pony can get frustrated at times (e.g., bunny hops) if his rider overcorrects him or is too harsh with their hands. That being said, he would do best with someone who has soft hands. To ensure that pony and his new rider can get the best out of of every experience, please ensure that you would be willing to work with a horse that needs a little extra care in how they are handled He is familiar with the lungeline, groundwork, western pleasure, english, walking/trotting/loping in saddle, standing for the farrier, being blanketed, putting on a fly mask/fly spray, getting bathes (which he absolutely loves!), and more Pony is an absolute sweetheart who enjoys lovinf on his people, showering them with hugs and kisses, and playing with their jackets. He is very gentle and mindful of people, littles, and other pets (chickens, dogs, cats, goats, etc.) Other important info Location: Renton, WA Any questions? Inquiries? Shoot a message!
