Looking for a second pony for my daughter and everything we've looked at is either totally dead to leg or neurotic

She needs a 13.2 - 13.3 which is capable of popping a 2'6" SJ and XC course if the rider does the job. Must be forward off the leg but not silly and hack out sensibly. Not looking for a superstar. Just a good second pony that will teach her a bit more.
Willing to travel (and have done) for the right pony. Loan or purchase.
So if anyone know of a pony that would fit the bill please please please let me know. My ears are hurting from the constant hassle from wife and daughter.

PS...this is not advertising. It's a cry for help!!!!!!!!
 
Well I was going to say I'd got the perfect animal until I re-read that it mustn't be neurotic. That's my Welshy out of the running!
 
Look here

Love this pony hehe! Used to be a trekking pony so is quiet and sensible but not dead off the leg. I've been round a fun ride with it and if anything canters off it's not bothered it will wait or canter behind happily depending on what the rider wants to do! Will jump sweetly as well

Has been out of work through some of the winter because they've had 4 others out competing, but may be back in work now!

I was reading somewhere recently that the ideal second pony is rarer than hen's teeth! So perhaps you'd better buy some earplugs...

So it would seem. have tried the ear plug route but they either remove them or leave me notes all round the house.

I know a nice pony, how much do you want to spend?

[/ QUOTE ]
As little as possible but up to about £2000. Would push a bit higher for the perfect match.

We've a couple of nice ones for sale at my yard but we're in Somerset so probably a bit too far for you.

I'll swap a numb bum for ear ache any day. Dont mind traveling if pony seems to tick the boxes
 
Our old 2nd pony is being returned to it's owner as the people who have her on loan really need a just off LR pony. She is 21 yr old full up 13hh, but x wide saddle so will take up the leg. Regularly hacked out by small adults. She had done loads of PC and camps etc.

Took Bee past the hacking out alnoe stage and did all th e 2'6" stuff with her, including PC teams.

The down side is she is a real redhead and can be a little grumpy, it's all threats though and not usually followed up. Once you have her sussed she is a sweetie.

She was measured down at 13hh by her owners prior to us so she could do nursery workers, I reckon she may be bigger though.

Travels in trailer or lorry, 110% traffic, good to clip, shoe etc and currently looking for a loan home. Not too far from you either in N Herts. Does a nice dressage test but will take the pee is the rider is totally helpless (that's why she is being returned). She taught Bee loads as she only does what she is told, no more no less, not the most generous nature but a fantastic school mistress. I owned her for 2 years and have a huge spft spot for the grumpy old cow.

Would you like me to check if she is still available?

I have loads of pics from when we owned her 4 years ago. Guess she may be feeling her age a little more now but is years away from retirement as the loaners are sending her back as she keeps peeing off (well in a slow canter) with a tiny just off LR nervous 9 year old.

Bee is 5'5" now and skinny, she is 15. We had her from Bee being 10 to 12.

I have seen adults on pony height about 5'2" and they look fine on her.
