It’s with a very heavy heart that we look for Ruby’s new 🏡.
Ruby is currently ridden by children of all ages and abilities (owned by 11 year old) and all off lead. However, we feel Ruby would be best suited as a lead rein or 1.5/2nd pony to reach her full potential. Ruby is one in a million. Happy to be dressed up, painted, plaited and will stand there all day long to be pampered, she is a regular at pony club rallies and attended pony club camp this year. She has been to arena hires, XC, the gallops and competed in local shows proving to do very well in the dressage arena. Ruby is well schooled and has started her lateral work with a competent jockey but she is still young and so would need to continue her education. She hacks out alone and in company. Not fazed by any traffic/farm machinery, she is confident out on the open forest with ponies, cows deer and pigs roaming around. She absolutely loves a good gallop across the forest if you ask. But will adjust to rider, so if you want a steady walk and trot she is just as happy.
Ruby is one of the most versatile little cobs out there.. with her eye catching looks and powerful compact short backed conformation she is a serious show ring pony ⭐ and would suit a showing/ dressage home if you really want results. She is happy to pop a small course and really loves a jump out on the forest!🌳
Ruby’s negative areas: *After coming to us with bad mallenders, which is all cleared up with no further flare ups, she is sensitive around her legs and needs an understanding farrier (she is unshod). However she is good as gold to have her feet picked out daily and washed for shows. *If ridden in the school by a complete beginner she will be lazy and yet will be forward off the leg for a confident jockey. *she is young and does have the odd small excited bronks. They are never nasty and haven’t unseated anyone. *Ruby travels like a dream in a trailer or 7.5t but didn’t enjoy travelling backwards in a 3.5t the once we tried, however as she is so chill normally we expect it to get better with practice.
