Jack came home about a year ago, bought from the partner of a work friend who had had him as a petting feature at a tourist lodge.
He was friendly, but had not really had anything done with him.
I took him to PC and let him have a look around while my daughter rode her pony, and found him to be very calm.
He stared out with no problems on the lead rein with my oldest daughter aboard, and she attended a couple of PC rallies on him when her own pony was lame.
He made the transition to being ridden off the lead with ease, and spent several months with a good local instructor, being schooled under her supervision by her daughter, and several of her pupils.
He attended PC while with her, started jumping, and showed a talent, and liking for games.
He has a super ground covering walk, and genuinely forward without being a puller or taking off. His trot and canter are also reasonably quick.
He will best suit a confident child with some experience. He does not require a huge amount of talent, or skill, but is not suited to an absolute learner.
He has just been returned from trial as the people who took him decided he was too small,(I'm thinking he hadn't shrunk since he left here!?), and has unfortunately come home with a nasty skin infection on his face and ears , and 2 pressure sores on his wither, so as a consequence will be unavailable for 2-4 weeks while they heal.
I have $3500 on him, and if you come and see him and like him, 50% deposit will allow you to take him on trial for 4 weeks.
The balance is due if you decide to keep him at hte end of that 4 weeks, or if prearranged, then he can be paid off over a maximum of 6 months.
