This is a very sad sale as Cherry is such a great pony and I lot her to bits! Only selling as I'm moving to the mainland and will be taking a break from horses. Cherry has been with me for the last year and a half, and she has gone from being very green to now confidently competing at 105cm SJ and Grade 2 eventing. Cherry qualified for her first Grade 3 trials with just the required three events and took me to compete in my first trials successfully. Cherry rarely comes home without a ribbon. She has established leg yield, walk-to-canter transitions, and is currently learning flying changes. Cherry can also be ridden bareback and loves a trail ride alone or with other horses.

Cherry is not a spooky pony; great with water, around goats/dogs/cows/cats, and motorbikes/farm machinery. Cherry has never shown any signs of bucking, bolting, kicking, or rearing. She's great to just jump on and go. She does have a constant resting mare face but has never acted marey. She is good to shoe, worm, tie up, handle, etc. She is good to load. She does like to be paddocked with company, as she can walk the fence if alone.

Cherry is forward-moving and responsive off the leg, so would be best suited to a young rider looking to go up the grades in competition to get the best out of her.

No time wasters, please, and will only go to a suitable home. Heaps of videos available. Fitted saddle/rugs/tack can be added to the price.
