Could he be a show pony??

[monica987]

Well i have never shown before and dont think i would as im dont 'do' showing but i have been told he would do very well by a judge at my yard so was just wondering what you think.
He is a New Forest, can give you breeding if wanted but he is pedigree.
Here are some pics and would like comment please

If you need a jumping one just say, also working hunter i was tyold he would excel in.......
Comment please

I only do riding club level showing but I think he would excel in working hunter

He is a very smart chap

It does make me jealous though, I wish I could still ride ponies, legs are too long though

Post some recent pics, he is lovely

blimey he jumps a bit doesnt he! just out of curiosity, how big does your pony jump comfortably, mine 13.2hh new forest starts getting a bit sticky at 3ft3 on a bad day. mind you, my pony seems a hell lot chunkier than your for some reason. nice looking pony

yours looks a nice tidy type. go for workers i reckon, with that beautiful jump!!

 

[malibu211211]

Oh Wow

I say go for it with the showing

He looks like he is really well put together, I really like him and with a jump like that I think he'd do well at working hunter
He really is stunning

He looks like he'd make a cracking WHP!

Lovely lad!

those piccies were from last year-like yours mine is only just getting his summer coat!! good luck with whatever you decide to do and sorry bout the piccies size!!

Thankies, well i personally wil jump 3'6 comfortably on him outside, inside is a different matter as he doesnt like it much and starts stopping after about 3' inside as there isnt much space in our school..... however when i bought him he was at my yard already so saw this other boy try him and holy moly.... jumping 4ft+ oxer with ease...... im really not sure what his limits are! He isnt the bravest chappy but he is very scopey.
They are fabby.... i Love newfies

If he is registered, then you should perhaps consider doing M&M workers with him. You could also do flat M&M classes, but he appears in his element over fences, so that is what I would try first! There is a M&M website that Toadeyes from here helps run (Hamlets House) - they would be the best place to go for more advice on him and they have very successful NFs themselves.

agree m&m workers or whp as he seems to love his jumping. he's too heavy for a show pony x

i really like him, he does look smart and he cant half jump!
