Are you an experienced adult rider looking for a relaxed, enjoyable share, rather than endless schooling or fast-paced hacking, then Zig could be the pony you’ve been looking for.
Ziggy is a kind, friendly and sociable 14.1hh New Forest gelding, based in Sway with direct access to enclosure and Forest, so no road riding required.

He is a genuine pleasure to be around, both in and out of saddle. He loves gentle hacking, adores being fussed over and is very easy to handle in the ground. I also take him out regularly in hand which he loves - although he will try to seize any opportunity to grab a sneaky snack or browse along the way. He is a much loved, happy pony.
I’ve had him since he was a foal and he is now 11, so he is very relaxed and settled, and does not suffer from separation anxiety. He can go out alone and in company.

He is non- spooky and straightforward, doesn’t bolt, buck or rear.
He is looking for a sympathetic rider to match.
Would especially welcome an older rider who appreciates a slightly gentler pace and simply wants to enjoy a safe pleasant ride, with no ambitions to race around - just a calm, relaxed partnership.
Maximum rider weight for the share is 10 stone.

One thing to be aware of; Ziggy has PSSM1 (a common muscle condition found in some native ponies and other breeds), but please don’t let this put you off. He is very well managed through careful diet and appropriate exercise and rugging, and he lives a full and comfortable life. The only requirement is that you are sensitive to ensuring he is fully warmed up in walk for first 15 minutes or so, before asking for more.
If you’re patient, calm and looking for a loving partnership I’d love to hear from you.
He is a real gem for the right person.
Times are flexible and can be arranged, but you must have your own rider insurance.
Ideally I’d like to find someone for the long term rather than just the Summer months.
