Introduction: Valley View Shogun, known as Russell, is a super quality and very cute 13hh Welsh B gelding with genuine results across pony club and the interschool circuit. He is a versatile, well-produced pony with the education and experience to enjoy dressage/showing, showjumping, eventing, pony club and interschool competition. He would be a smart choice for a capable junior rider who wants a fun, competitive and established pony to go out and enjoy. Russell is currently competing and has placed at National level.

Education, skills and experience: Russell has extensive education and experience, including low-level jumping and cross-country schooling, working equitation-style obstacles, trail riding, beach rides and swimming. He has also been exposed to busy roads, farm life, dogs and the general commotion that comes with children.

General demeanour under saddle: Under saddle, Russell is willing, responsive and forward, with a sharp and energetic way of going. He is also tolerant of rider mistakes. He suits a confident child rider who enjoys a willing, competitive pony.

Current workload / fitness: Russell is currently in work and is ridden three or more times per week. He is safe to hop on after a spell and does not need daily riding to remain reliable.

Handling: On the ground, Russell is easy and straightforward to handle. He self-loads and travels well, stands quietly, is easy to clip and washes, and is good for the vet and farrier. He is well mannered, with occasional pony attitude. He is shod in front only.

Feeding and management: Russell is on hard feed with salt and ample hay. He is currently in a paddock and is best with a companion within sight.

Medical history: No known current or past medical issues have been reported. His vaccinations are up to date and his last dental was March 2026. Recent radiographs, taken within the past three months, are available, along with past vet checks. Further vetting is welcome at the buyer’s expense.

Rider Suitability: Russell is best matched to an intermediate child under 14, or a small teen, who rides regularly under professional instruction and is looking for a competitive pony with scope to succeed at all pony club and interschool disciplines.

Reason for sale: He is very much loved, but this is a genuine case of “perfect pony, wrong kid”. He was purchased six months too soon and is proving too big and too willing for a nervous child. His owners are now seeking a suitable, competitive home where Russell can be enjoyed and appreciated.
