SHAY 

14.2hh grey Irish gelding rising 5 yrs believed to be Connie X Cob but no breeding recorded 

 

 Currently not for sale as we have decided to run him on pony BS!

To go on and do any job. Shay is riding well, he’s green in the school but keen to please and always tries his best. He’s built on the bridle and it won’t take long till he’s dressage test ready. He gives a good feel on the flat and tries his best to please and improves with every ride. He is a forward thinking ride and is not a kick along! Shay is jumping round a set of coloured fences, he’s got a scopey jump and has a lot of potential, he wants to leave poles up and has a good technique currently training round 90-1m with plenty of scope to go on. He has been to a couple of training shows with us and attended grid work clinics. He’s brave and genuine with all fillers and coloured poles and a lot of fun to jump. We have taken him XC schooling and he’s awesome, very brave and gives everything a go in a very straightforward manner. I have hunted Shay a couple of times last season and he’s a lot of fun, jumps everything and anything and gives a great feel over a jump, he’s naturally quick and very clever, growing a fifth leg when needed! Cracking pony out hunting, stands quietly when asked, good with hounds and gives the big horses a good run for their money!  He’s a lovely pony ready for his new home to put their own stamp on and start competing. He’s a really smart pony with plenty of bone who I feel may make a nice WHP or be produced on for just about anything PC, BE, hunting or BS. I really like this pony and he’s definitely my favourite currently.  Been to pony club camp and absoloutely bossed it. He is still green and wobbly in some aspects and appreciates a quiet rider currently but will numb off in to the perfect child’s pony in time at the moment is probably best suited to a confident teen or small adult. He can be on the Moree reactive side especially when he doesn’t’ know his rider so needs a half decent jockey  Has been to the beach and was a very sensible escort, has also attended sponsored ride. I am enjoying producing him and in no hurry to part with him, I would consider options with a good kid who wants a competitive pony as would be open to part sale/ letting him get miles on the clock with a good junior as think a lot of him.

Perfect to box, clip ( don’t even tie him up and can do him top to toe!) , load, can be slightly shy to catch with strangers but your best friend once he knows you. Hacks out sensibly alone and in company as has been very good in all traffic met to date.
