Looking for a superstar pony for a superstar rider!!

We are looking for a full size pony for a very competent, kind and ambitious young rider. We are after a multi disciplined (rider has done mostly show hunter but would like to event and show jump also) safe and fun with nice Flatwork. Open to younger or older ponies, budget depends on pony. Full height and ability or potential to jump 1.10+ non neg.

5* home, full time professional support. Most lovely family! Pony will get a huge variety and be absolutely adored 🦄

"You can trot and cry at the same time. And if you can't, this isn't the sport for you." One of my fav quotes from Kristin Carpenter.

This quote hit home this week as we had a few riders leave the arena with tears in their eyes.
Horse riding has a funny way of teaching us lessons that have very little to do with riding.... Patience, humility, perseverance, resilience, trust in the process...

It is a given that there will be rides where nothing seems to click. Where you question yourself, feel frustrated, and wonder if you're making any progress at all. Those rides actually matter the most... every rider I know has had moments where they've cried in the saddle (or after secretly haha). Every horse person has had days when they wanted to give up, probably more often than you know. What made the difference wasn't talent - it was choosing to come back and try again.

So to everyone who found this week a little tougher than expected...

Be proud of yourself. You still showed up! You kept riding. You kept learning.
Sometimes the hardest lessons become the ones that shape us the most, the ones we learn the most from! So if this weeks lesson was hard, don't let it define you. Because resilience isn't about never falling apart, it's about putting yourself back together and trying again. You're already doing better than the others who quit.

And don't forget that we'll be here, cheering you on every step of the way. 💛
