Still gushing about this pony - SERIOUSLY cannot stress how good of a match him & mini are...
He is fantastic both on the ground & under saddle - He already follows Mini around like a sheep and she adores him to bits... Am so glad we got something that fits her height wise - sick of reading posts about people taking shortcuts & buying their kids ponies way to big for them so they can grow into them.

We are in regular contact with the person we bought him from & they are delighted we bought him as he was headed to people that wanted him in Italy if we didn't - means they can see him out & about etc & visit him at any time.

So this week Mini's coach took them to the field to start jumping small XC Fences as she is off to a NI Festival WH Cradle stakes qualifier next weekend & weekend after that is XC phase of yard mini ode..

What a star he was - totally looked after her.. Mini now learning to adjust to a very forward going pony & learnt heeps in lesson ... We only had one whooops moment when Mini forgot she wasnt on her old pony & she used more leg than needed so they had their first non intentional gallop lol...

So two short videos below - I think they did fab for first time out jumping in the field..

Ah thank you so much. Im just so happy that we have found such a good pony that mini can progress on. . did have a giggle today when a so called friend said I was a very pushy parent ( jealousy I think) I'm so not the type to put any pressure on mini at all ... She has been addicted to ponies since she was 3 !

I was an obsessed child. Neither of my parents were horsey or even really interested although they did support us as much as they could cope with...but nothing could have stopped me. Your daughter is lucky to have a mum that wants to make her dreams come true and if others can't see that, they are either jealous or delusional and should be swiftly ignored :)
