Ok, this may sound very strange too some but i am basically looking for a pony who is very forward and maybe even slightly naughty, strong, buzzy, etc. I compete BSJA and sometimes i just want too have a bit of fun but as my pony is dreadfully scared of cars i can't go on hacks and she isn't particularly lively on them anyway! I am a very capable rider and was just wondering how i would go about looking for this as its not the usual make people look for! I just find it super fun bombing around. Does anyone have one for sale of know of any? I post about this on here because people defo dont usually advertise there ponies as this! Im a very capable rider (that was not meant too sound cocky at all!) and i am an older teenager so looking for a smaller pony of around 13.1hh-14.1hh which i can just bomb around on and hack lots every week and do some jumping! Always put the weirdest topics on here but can't help myself as everyone's feedback is so helpful! Thanks!
 
Do you have the support of your parents and the financial backing? What you are looking for is actually not very hard to find - although you might want to refine a bit whether you just want to bomb about at speed or compete BSJA. A good BSJA competition pony may well not also tolerate being hammered on hacks etc. Equally a decent hunt / team chase type pony is not likely to make the tight controlled turns you need for a top flight BS course.

But it can be expensive - especially the competition pony bit. Do you need to sell your mare first? Or do you have the set up at home to have several ponies at once?
 
Hi, yes haha i do cause its for me and my sister. No i wasn't thinking too compete at all! And not wanting too 'hammer' them like i want one that just loves going fast but isn't bothered about competing. And backing i was looking for one that doesn't need backing just one that is basically for hacking most days and sometimes jumping at home really. I would refine it too a non-project pony who i can literally just speed around; and one that likes that too!! We have a set up for multiple ponies and keeping my mare and just have him or her too hack and jump and stuff. thanks for the help!
 
To be honest that just sounds like you want a forward all rounder. Aim for things that say "not novice ride" in the advert. Or possibly approach your local rescue center. You want something too forward for a novice / first pony. But not something which you want to compete. That at least keeps the cost down!
 
Sounds like my pony, but she's an old girl and would never sell ever! I know what you mean though love riding her but don't know how I would ever replace her, I don't like being bucked off but enjoy and fast fun enthusiastic ride. Most ive seen advertised that is what i like sound like they would be boring or rodeo

My old pony is exactly as you describe, she is 26 now and shows no sign of slowing down. I have so much fun on her! I found her via a wanted advert and she is exactly what I wanted. I found out afterwards that if I didn't take her, she was being shot because no one else would ride her! 😳. So it was meant to be!
 
 
 
They are all about different topics tho? All the others are when i was looking for a showjumping pony not the 'crazy pony' and they were about me asking about the hillgarth breeding sorry if its annoying
