Colby Prince Charming

13yro bay British Riding Pony standing approx 12.3/13h.

A true 2nd pony and competition pony through and through, fit and ready for his new home.

Prince has previously been a pure show home and has shown both in hand and under saddle up to county level as a SHP, he has a real presence about himself and knows how to flick his toes and catch your attention. He has 3 nice forward paces and a very big eye catching trot!

He came to me for my 2 young daughters and although he is angelic with them in every way, he is totally wasted on the lead rein and has proved to be an outstanding competition prospect, loving the busy and active lifestyle.
So since being with me he has done a bit of everything, he is low mileage over a jump due to his previous home but he has been jumping at home and at different venues and proves to be ultra careful, we’ve schooled him up to about 80cm but there is definitely a huge amount of scope left in the tank for a competent rider, he would certainly jump the BS starter classes if not much more. He just needs a bit more time and mileage on the clock seeing different venues to build his confidence, that being said he is totally genuine and uncomplicated. He also jumps all types of rustic fences when out hacking and has XC schooled as a youngster, coupled with his showing experience he would go all the way as a WHP.

We have hacked a lot and he loves to explore, he’ll hack for hours across the downs and through the forest cantering in open spaces without ever getting strong or silly, jumping everything we can find, he’s always keen to look for an adventure. He is fantastic in all traffic and with farm machinery, he can be weary of livestock but I have never found him to become silly or sharp, just unsure. He has also hacked a lot leading my young daughter and her Shetland, so very trustworthy in that respect.

He has absolutely no ridden vices, never bucked, reared or bolted. He is a forward going buzzy and active type and won’t be for a slow and steady rider, however he is always snaffle mouthed and never sharp, he can be ridden once a month or every day and he is always well behaved.

On the ground his manners are impeccable, he once again has no vices, can be lead and groomed etc by my daughter. He loads & travels quietly, good to clip, good for the farrier (currently barefoot, may benefit from front shoes with more work), no trouble in the field or in the stable, just a total delight to be around in all respects.

This is a hard sale as we all love him, however he absolutely loves to be out doing things and with a yard full of clients horses and 2 young children he gets less work than he’d like to be doing. All we want for him is a best friend of his own to enjoy all things fun and be pampered. He is good enough to jump the BS classes or HOYS WHP classes but he would equally thrive in a family home for PC camp, rallies, low level competitions, hacking & everything fun. He loves to live the pampered life with a mic warm rug and a stable during the night for the cold winter as he is very much a Prince by name and nature.
