This is Tyke, 13.3hh 8 y/o registered NF gelding. Unfortunately due to my height and commitments I am unable to give Tyke what he needs, time and exercise wise, and am therefore looking for a long term loan home - to be moved to loaner’s property.

He has not been ridden since mid-July, so is very green at the moment.
Tyke has huge potential, he hacks alone or in company comfortably, has competed at dressage and also popped over small jumps. He is so eager to learn and loves being busy. He has been clipped and shod and stands happily for these. He recently took a while to load, and will require practice, usually loads fine but I believe his recent resistance was due to infrequency.

Tyke has been ridden by a young teenager, as well as a 12y/o, and would suit a small, kind, experienced rider who is confident, patient and willing to commit to helping him to reach his full potential.

Some notes:
- Tyke has recently undergone physiotherapy due to a hamstring injury. This is now resolved thanks to physio and a number of exercises. I would like this to continue whilst Tyke is on loan. Ideally 3 monthly physio and regular exercise.
- He will come with all tack, and will require a saddle fitting using his current saddle immediately before ridden work begins.
- Tyke has seedy toe which is clearing up nicely, his farrier is happy with the progress and has reassured me that this is not due to any underlying issues. He has antibacterial purple spray to apply to his foot.
- He is shod on his fronts.
- Teeth and vaccinations due in December.
- Tyke is a good doer, being a new forest pony. This must be considered when turned out on grazing.

I would like to visit Tyke regularly, so would like him to stay around the New Forest/surrounding areas.
