Topbrave New Forest D-pony Allrounder incl. 2 Prestige saddles

Looking for a well-behaved, willing D-pony to grow together with?

Hero is a true all-rounder: dressage, showjumping and hacking. He is well-behaved and reliable, but at the same time has enough to offer to further challenge and develop a rider who has mastered the basics.

It is with a heavy heart that we are looking for a new, suitable home for Hero (Altrido Wiona’s Hero). Because our son has stopped with the hobby, we wish Hero a place where he can be someone's buddy again and receive plenty of attention and variety.

Breed: New Forest gelding
Date of birth: 13-04-2012
Height at withers: 143,5 cm
Ownership: we have had him since he was six
Pedigree: Holthausen Frodo II

Hero is an honest, sweet and willing pony with a fine character. He thinks along well with his rider and is well-behaved on the ground and under saddle. He is a true people's pony and suitable for riders of various levels.

On Hero you can happily continue learning once you already master the basics. For a more advanced rider he is also fun to work with: he picks up exercises well and likes to work with you. When you ask something of him, he will put effort into it. He is therefore a fine pony to grow together with and develop yourself in riding.

Hero was previously competed in L dressage. Because our son had no competition ambitions, mainly club competitions were ridden in dressage and showjumping.

Hero also really enjoys showjumping. He easily jumps a course of 70/80 cm and gets enthusiastic about it, without becoming hot or strong.

Out hacks he is well-behaved and reliable in the woods and in traffic. He can go out alone or together and sometimes asks for a bit of confidence from his rider.

Hero is a pony that you easily catch from the pasture; he walks along relaxed on the lead rope. At the grooming area he stands dozing away during grooming and saddling. He truly enjoys that attention.

Hero is turned out 24/7 in the summer with us and outside during the day in the winter. At night he is stabled. In the winter he wears a 0-gram rain rug.

He is well-behaved at the farrier, dentist and saddler and has always been properly maintained. He is properly vaccinated and dewormed and has no stable vices.

He was previously clinically and radiologically approved without remarks. Re-inspection is of course allowed, costs for the buyer.

Trailer loading went well in the past; this now requires some quiet practice again.

The asking price includes complete equipment: 2 Prestige saddles (jumping and dressage), bridle and other accessories.

Important to us:
We are looking for a buyer who will enjoy getting to work all-round with him and truly sees him as a buddy.

Serious interest only. No dealers or riding schools. We would love to keep Hero in the Netherlands.

Because Hero's welfare is the most important thing to us, we are open to a reasonable offer if there is a good match.
