Talented Riding Pony: Athletic, Sensitive, Willing

Pyrite Park Devine Daisy

Registered Australian Riding Pony mare – sensitive, athletic, bold, and ready to continue her development.

Forward, willing, and best suited to a confident rider seeking a sensitive, tuned-in performance pony with genuine talent.

Daisy is a beautifully bred, athletic Australian Riding Pony showing excellent potential for dressage, pony club performance, working equitation, and all-round competition. Sensitive, forward, and highly trainable, she is best suited to a confident teen or small adult wanting a pony with feel, movement, and real upward potential.

She is NOT a beginner pony, but for the right rider she is a truly rewarding, talented partner with a bright future.

➤ BREEDING

Quality lines known for movement, presence, and rideability

Sire: Turberry Tom Kitten (Imp)

Dam: Mandiso Park Just Devine

➤ TRAINING & EDUCATION

Daisy has been thoughtfully started and is now developing a correct foundation. Recent work has focused on relaxation, rhythm, softness, and responsiveness.

Under saddle she is working on:

✅ Walk–trot–canter transitions

✅ Consistent rhythm and balance

✅ Stretching and early contact

✅ Early lateral work (leg-yielding, shoulder-in, haunches-in/renvers)

✅ Small confidence-building jumps (very willing, careful, and brave)

✅ Trail riding around paddocks and local bush tracks

She becomes softer and more relaxed the more she moves. A pony who settles into work beautifully once she is in a rhythm.

➤ GROUNDWORK & HANDLING

She has been extensively handled and is confident with varied groundwork tasks.

Daisy currently:

✅ Lunges (walk/trot/canter)

✅ Early work on double-lunges/long-reins

✅ Works over poles, obstacles, and environmental challenges

✅ Ground-ties and hard ties

✅ Leads quietly

✅ Floats well

✅ Worms, rugs, and hoses easily

✅ Stands for farrier and general handling

Is improving steadily with touch sensitivity. Now much softer and more trusting.

She thrives on obstacle work and problem-solving. This has been a huge part of her confidence development.

➤ TEMPERAMENT & SUITABILITY

Daisy is:

⭐ Forward, willing, and motivated to work

⭐ Sensitive and responsive to rider intention

⭐ Curious and brave in new environments

⭐ A thinker - she pauses, processes, then tries

⭐ Not spooky in a dangerous way (a quick look/spook then settles immediately)

⭐ Not herd-bound (leaves the herd easily, no separation issues)

⭐ Emotionally intelligent and bonds strongly with her person

⭐ Best for a rider with soft hands, good body control, and clear leadership

She is NOT:

❌ A beginner pony

❌ A kick-along type

❌ A suitable match for very young or nervous riders without strong supervision

She is IDEAL for:

✅ A confident teen wanting a competitive pony

✅ A rider wanting a sensitive, athletic project

✅ Someone who loves a forward, tuned-in pony with high potential

➤ KIDS & SUPERVISION

Daisy has been ridden by my supervised children (ages 6 and 8) at the walk and small trots. She is safe enough with supervision, but she is not ready to be a child’s independent pony.

She is:

● Happy to carry kids for obstacle play and small arena rides

● Accepts kids being lunged on her in W/T/C - stops immediately when they become unbalanced

● Loves trail walks with kids on her back

● Comfortable being led by kids on the ground under supervision

● Good with noise, movement, and new situations

But because she is forward and sensitive, she is not suitable for a true beginner child.

➤ HEALTH & MANAGEMENT

She is extremely sound, healthy, and easy to keep.

❌ No itch

❌ No laminitis history

❌ No hoof issues

❌ No metabolic issues

❌ No past injuries (in my care)

✅ Excellent feet

✅ Easy keeper (tends to stay on the rounder side if not in work)

✅ Lives happily in a mixed herd. No vices, no windsucking, no weaving, no cribbing.

➤ EXPOSURE & OUTINGS

Daisy has been taken out frequently.

She has been:

● On bush trails

● Walking out on roadsides

● To the beach (in-hand)

● Around machinery, children, dogs, and changing environments

● In the arena and round yard for consistent schooling

She travels well and settles quickly at new places.

✨ LEASE OPTION FOR THE RIGHT HOME ✨

My priority is finding Daisy a rider who will continue developing her correctly and bring out her potential. For the right, experienced person, I am open to discussing a lease arrangement instead of a sale.
This could be a great opportunity for a confident teen or small adult wanting to produce a talented pony without the upfront purchase.
Home, horsemanship, and the rider’s ability matter more to me than the transaction.
