Flo is a pleasure to have around a yard and is excellent on the ground. She excels at hacking and would be content as a lead rein pony. She hasn’t hunted but would make a great hunting pony although she would want to be up the front with friends so no novice riders for that. She has enjoyed beach rides / fun rides.
She has worked in a trekking centre, and has been in a riding school. She has excelled for the stable management side and will stand and be groomed and fussed all day. She has worked with people with disabilities in that role. She however is school sour off the lead rein and as she is clever, she now has a bunch of tricks she can use to try and get out of work in a school.
On lead rein she is much more compliant and so this is why we say lead rein only or hacking but even on lead rein school time should be monitored. She has a weight limit of 10 stone so can take a light weight adult rider.
Good to clip (child can do, but she needs sedating for her feathers to be removed). Great for farrier and is bare foot. Lives in or out and can be in a mixed herd. Can be a monkey to catch if she thinks she is coming in to do some work and so often have to trick her with putting head collars on all, or tempting her with food.
Up to date with all vaccinations and dentistry. Currently is living out in a field and so will need a little time to get back up to full fitness.
Can be viewed in West Dean which is on the Wiltshire / Hampshire border. Please contact for more info. We have had Flo for over 3 years and know a lot of her history. Happy for her to move yards, but in Hampshire, Wiltshire or Dorset, at experienced homes only that will be vetted.
Flo is a very much loved pony and she deserves a job and some fun.
