Best place to look for childs happy hack?

[SpruceRI]

Friend is looking for a happy hack pony around 14hh for her 11yr old boy.

Safe to hack on his own round the village and with friends.
He doesn't want anything speedy - kick along (but not willfully lazy!) would be better as anything sparky would frighten him.

He's nearly outgrown his 12hh teeny New Forest and would like another New Forest preferably or a cobby other model.

We've looked on the New Forest pony website, but most of the stock on there is recently broken.

Have seen one or 2 suitable ponies on Horsequest and Horsemart but they're all miles away.

Anyone got any ideas of where to look in the S East?

Thanks

www.nfed.co.uk - New Forest Equine Directory.
Often New Forests for sale on there - covers a lot of the south area so may be what your looking for??

local pony clubs are always a good bet

I'd go on word of mouth/local pony clubs/riding clubs.

how strange I was going to suggest a NF before I read your thread. Don't discount a younger pony I am an adult and my NF is 5 and he is a super hacking pony just like what you are looking for (but he's not for sale)

I would hold out and get a nice forester Hamlets House a native pony website has nice natives for sale on it.
