most insane pony I have ever seen?!

Ah the Welshies - you either love them or run screaming! My old girl was half Welsh D and while she had no enormous talent for jumping, she was every bit as mad, bossy, opinionated and strong as this chap. Thankfully though she didn't jump out of fields although she did barge through a few electric fences when the fancy took her. But why on earth do people want to get on stupid 16hh + horses when they can have so much fun with a pony like this?

Gosh that's my idea of the opposite of fun! I would be absolutely terrified of him! Fab jumper though, he really does seem to enjoy it and I'm sure perfect for a super confident person!
 
Wowowow!! What a jump! He jumped higher and higher the bigger the fences got! He would probably give the puissance wall a foot! I see the Youtube video is an advert for him being sold... How is his new owner getting on with him? I imagine it would be pretty daunting riding him after seeing the success the last girl had with him! I think I may have seen him compete at Cricklands and being majorly impressed.. either that or it was his ringer!
 
he is actually competing at a higher level with his new owner (ones i posted) i think the reason he was sold is because he wasnt being ridden at his potential capabilities! and yes he has competed at cricklands! old owners i think?
 
Absolutely fantastic! I bet someone is having so much fun on him! I would die for a pony like that! Although saying that i wouldnt give my bad tempered connie up for anything! :o
 
The girl in the first video had a brilliantly secure lower leg position (as you'd need on that pony!). Her heels were absolutely not coming up :D
 
I've seen a few vids of him with his old owner, he really is phenomenal. I believe a USA show jumper saw the vidoes of them together on Youtube and offered her a job stateside. Last update I heard was that she was hoping to bring him over eventually. Sad to see this hasn't happened, though I can understand why and I wish the new owner all the best.
 
My daughter has just fallen in love!!!!

Ticks just about every box we will be looking for in the not too distant future!

****swoon****

How big was he?

:D:D:D
 
I knew one identical to that but a roan.

What an amazing jump, heart of a lion!! Would scare me rigid though :p
