Been there, done that - honest kids pony

Snowflake is a stunning 11.3hh, 15yo Cremello gelding. This little man has been attending Pony club since he was 3yo. He has always been in a horsey home and is the most compliant, easy to manage pony, both on the ground and under saddle. He is just a pleasure to be around. He would suit Lead line/confident beginner/second pony. He is free moving, and has the best breaks you will ever find on any horse/pony. Just the slightest indication that you want to halt and he halts, give him the go signal and he will stay in that rhythm, in that gait, until told otherwise.

Snowflake is a sweet, friendly pony who loves attention and has a genuine willingness to please. He is an allrounder under saddle, safe, responsible, reliable, consistent and well educated. Suitable as a lead line or for a confident beginner looking to step up to their next pony. He has a lovely soft natural way of going and a natural correct head carriage even with the smallest jockey on board. He is always first to the gate and will stand there all day with kids brushing and milling around him to do all those things kids love to do. The kids can do it all with him and all on their own with confidence, catching, saddling and then loading him on the float.

Snowflake is a pony that is not bossy in the paddock or matey with other horses. He is happy for the kids to take him away from his paddock mate for a ride and no issue from him at all. The other horses love him so much, they are usually the ones kicking up a stink. Snowflake has always been around stock, motorbikes, dogs and farm machinery and dare we say it, pretty much bombproof. He is the best pony ever to lead off other horses too, he just goes along side any other horse with out any fuss. Never any nonsense at all and just trots up as required. He has been to Pony club rallies, done heaps of trail riding and some stock work around the farm, camps, gymkhanas, Ag shows and most of all he loves to jump. If there is a little kid out there that wants a super pony to start their jumping career on, this is him!!!! He loves to jump, but only goes at the at the riders level, I have never seen him stop at a jump, as mentioned above has the best breaks and is very responsive to the slightest touch. He has been used for lessons for as young as 3yo children. His most recent rider has learnt to independently walk, trot and canter on Snow and has ridden him from the age of 6-9. If we could just stretch his legs and make him 2 hands taller all our prays would be answered. He really is just a perfect pony.

Snowflake has always been barefoot, he always looks a million dollars and he has never been foundered. He has never missed a day due to unsoundness or injury. Price includes his Wintec saddle (in extremely good condition, which are now over $1000to buy new), saddle bag and bridle.

This is a very sad sale of a much loved pony, he is far too good to retire and he still has many good years left in him to teach some other lucky little jockey the ropes. Current family have out grown him and the younger kids are not interested in horses, which is heart breaking. Currently in work, farrier, drenching, chiro and all up to date (teeth are a little over due, done May 2024) Snow is 100% sound, no blemishes, vet check welcome. Asking $7,500 ONO. price is negotiable, but the home is not!!! Phone 0437 431622 for further enquiries.
