Pony for Sale
12hh chestnut gelding, 16 year old, all-rounder / hunting pony. £3000.
Bobby has sadly been outgrown by my 10 year old son. He is a brilliant all-rounder pony who is fun to ride and goes in a snaffle bit. He will travel alone or in company. He is good in open spaces and will do all activities. He went on hound exercise last year, lots of fun rides, been to the beach, XC, SJ, polo cross and is on the mounted games team. We are looking for a 5*new home for this much loved pony. Videos and photos can be sent on request.
