KAPETA TRICKSTER | Eventing & Showjumping Pony

Tricky is a 14.2hh, 15 year old new Forest Pony X Thoroughbred. Bred, trained and competed by Kapeta Equestrian.

Leased by a junior rider for past 2.5 years.

 

Tricky has competed in both Eventing and Showjumping up to 1* and 1.05m. He is scopey and talented and rewards good riding and confidence. I believe he is most happy at EA95.

 

Dressage: Three flashy and correct paces on the flat and very capable, however he is a mixed bag of results in the arena, depending on the vibe of the day. He likes soft, settled hands and clear aids and to be ridden forward.

 

Showjumping: Quick, adjustable and nippy. He can take a great line to a fence and is a weapon in a jump off. You navigate, he will do the rest. He was Reserve Champion D grade at PCAV State Championships in 2024, against over 40 combinations.

 

Cross Country: Easily his favourite phase. Knows his job and needs the rider to set the path. Scopey to a fence and a technical line. Leg on, hands steady.

 

Tricky is as quirky as he is talented and gains and utilises the confidence that his rider gives him. He is point and shoot if you mean it, but unforgiving of bad riding and short tempers. If you give him your all, he will respond equally.

 

For the past 2.5 years he has been piloted by a child who he took from level 4 pony club to Grade 2 Pony Club /EA95.

They had much success as well as many learnings and he has created a rider who will be able to apply their skills to future rides.

 

I could list his results over the years, but would much rather the interest of someone who is seeking a horse to work with, listen to, learn from and most importantly, completely adore.

 

He is NOT for a beginner. I repeat, he is NOT for a beginner.

 

It is always said, but this is indeed a VERY hard sale of a much loved character of a pony who has been with me since his very first moments. We will be very particular about who he goes to. Price is negotiable to the perfect home, references required.

 

He is currently back in work after a break and out competing with a friend. His price will increase as his competition and work load does.

More photos and videos available to those seriously interested.

 

He comes with a non-negotiable fan club and friends
