Introduction

Spencer has been a much-loved member of the same family for two and a half years. He was purchased for his, then 14 year old rider, coming off her pony and has been enjoyed and loved - by the whole family - ever since.

Spencer's ability to adapt to each rider is one of the things that has made him such a lovely family horse. He is the perfect safe all rounder to have fun on and be competitive in many disciplines.

At 14.3hh, this Riding Pony/ Part Welsh - by Royalwood Boy Soprano - is a seasoned competitor and a versatile small horse. He has the education for someone who wants to enjoy dressage and showing, get out to Pony Club or Adult Riding Club and pop the occasional jump course.

Education, skills and experience

Spencer is well educated on the flat, willingly works in a frame and can collect. He is currently competing and has previously qualified for shows at national level.

His experience also includes schooling over cavaletti and cross-rails, low-level cross-country schooling and being ridden bareback. He lunges and has had the variety in his education that makes him a useful allrounder.

General demeanour under saddle

Spencer is willing, responsive and happy to give his rider what they ask of him. He adapts to the rider’s ability and confidence, is tolerant of mistakes and offers more when a more experienced rider asks.

Spencer does not have any vices or quirks. He remains safe but not completely bomb proof if something significant happens.

Current workload / fitness

Spencer is in regular work and is ridden three or more times a week. He is safe to hope back on, straight after a spell.

Handling

Spencer is calm and well mannered on the ground. He is easy to catch, lead and tie and is tolerant of handler mistakes. He is safe for children to handle.

He self-loads onto a float or truck, stands quietly while travelling and unloads calmly. He is easy to clip and wash, good for the vet and reliable for the farrier. He is currently barefoot.

Spencer is settled in busy environments and takes the activity of farm life in his stride, including tractors, trucks, motorbikes, livestock, dogs and other pets. He is comfortable around fireworks.

Feeding and management

Spencer receives hard feed and hay and is accustomed to lucerne and Rhodes hay. He can live alone or in a herd. He is fine to be outside 24 hours a day in the paddock or on a routine of 12 hours stabled and 12 hours paddocked. He is settled when stabled around the clock in a busy environment if required.

Medical history

Spencer does not have any medical issues. He is up to date with vaccinations and dental. Vet checks are welcome at the buyer’s expense.

Rider Suitability

Spencer would suit an intermediate rider who wants an educated, kind allrounder for dressage, showing, Pony Club, Adult Riding Club and some low-level jumping. He could be a lovely match for a balanced and capable junior, young rider or adult amateur who values a horse with competition experience and enjoys doing a bit of everything.

Reason for sale

Spencer’s rider has moved on to a new horse. After two and a half years of sharing him, training him and enjoying him as a family, they’d love to see him find a home where he’ll be just as appreciated.
