New Forest x Welsh Performance Pony

Once-in-a-Lifetime Performance Pony — New Forest x Welsh

A truly exceptional and rare opportunity to purchase a beautifully bred, versatile and impeccably put together performance pony.

This outstanding gelding is an offspring of the well-known FEI Grand Prix Champion Westbury Spitfire, out of performance mare Kepeta Fantasy (New Forest), combining proven performance bloodlines with an exceptional temperament.

Temperament & Trainability

Obi is renowned for his calm, intelligent and unflappable nature. He thrives in busy environments and consistently demonstrates outstanding reliability both at home and away.

• Completely unfazed by horse and carts, carnival rides, loud music and speakers

• Extremely relaxed at shows — never requires working down and can comfortably skip the warm-up ring

• Polite and tolerant around other horses, even in busy event settings

• Happy to stand quietly for extended periods

• Highly intelligent with a soft mouth and correct training

He loves having a job to do as he is very inquisitive and loves to be involved in everything

He has been professionally managed throughout his life, with regular bit and saddle fitting ensuring comfort and correct development.

Handling & Care

A pleasure in every aspect of handling:

• Excellent to float — and travels beautifully every time

• Well manners for farrier and routine care

• Textbook teeth and hoof quality

• Consistent, reliable behaviour in all situations.

Ridden & Experience

Obi is wonderfully versatile and enjoys a variety of disciplines.

• Comfortable hacking on a loose rein

• Experienced in obstacles and Stockman’s challenges, trail riding, showing and pony club

• lower-level horse trials and jumping

• Ridden confidently in both indoor and outdoor arenas

• Calm around busy sports fields with soccer and football occurring nearby

He is exceptionally forgiving and genuinely looks after his rider:

• Safely accommodates inexperienced riders, tolerating unbalanced aids and flappy arms or legs

• Adjusts naturally to the rider’s ability while still offering quality performance for more experienced riders

• Safely ridden independently by a young rider from age 7

Safety & Exposure

Obi is

• Trained to remain calm if caught or momentarily stuck — he does not panic

• Unbothered by dogs running underneath him, heavy machinery, traffic and loud motorbikes

• Reliable and consistent in temperament every day

The Perfect Family or Performance Partner

This is an incredibly regretful sale as my daughter has sadly outgrown him. Obi deserves a loving home where he will continue to be cherished and enjoyed for the remarkable horse he is.

In my opinion he isn’t a first pony due to his solid build and age.

A genuine confidence-giving partner with an outstanding temperament, versatility and proven bloodlines — opportunities like this are truly rare.
