It is with a heavy heart that we offer Benji for sale. Sadly, my daughter has outgrown him. In the past five years, Benji has taken my daughter from a beginner rider at 10yo to competing in Grade 1 PC, Elementary, and training at a medium level. We have focused predominantly on dressage with professional coaching and campaigned heavily in FEI CDI, Official EA, Interschools and PC competitions, achieving many successes. Benji’s a ripper pony that will take another rider a long way under correct coaching. He’s not a beginner's pony; he requires a confident, balanced rider who is on the way to developing a seat. He’s mostly straightforward, but as an ARP, he will occasionally need a reminder to focus on his job. Benji also loves to jump, and we’ve competed him up to 70cm; he’s very careful but can get excitable. We haven't done a lot of jumping with him, as dressage has been our primary focus. He competed at the 2024 Interschools Nationals for CT65.

Given Benji’s petite frame, he would suit a pre-teen or small teen/adult rider looking for a school master dressage pony that has been there, done that. He’s well-mannered on the ground for a young child, never kicked or bitten. Perfect to catch, clip, shoe and float. Despite rising 15 years old, he is in excellent sound condition and can offer many more years of education and competition to his next partner. All vetting is welcome, and recent X-rays are available on request. He has been adored by my family; he’ll only be sold to the perfect home.

Asking $27,500 negotiable for the right home.

Plenty of videos are available upon request, and I’m happy to discuss Benji in more detail with any serious buyers.
