Besonderer kinderlieber Irish Cob

We are offering a lovely pony for sale.

Originally, he comes from a riding school environment where smaller children also rode him. However, his motivation in the riding arena is not very high; he enjoys groundwork immensely and responds beautifully to voice commands. He needs a consistent handler and is very attentive to the person on the ground. My friend has regularly given guided riding lessons on him to her 6-year-old daughter, which he handles very well. 

Without a person on the ground, he can sometimes be a bit skittish on certain days, but never maliciously; he is always manageable. Therefore, I wouldn’t classify him as a pure children's pony or beginner horse. A mother-child team could work well with him. He is a typical pony with a bit of a stubborn streak but is very adorable. He is easy to groom and spray, and is well-behaved at the blacksmith and with the veterinarian. He was loaded onto a trailer without issues in the past but has not been in one since.

His teeth are recently done, he is vaccinated, and he is regularly checked by the osteopath. Currently, he has a few extra kilos.

I wish for him to be part of a large herd, as he is very sociable with other horses. He comes from a big herd with mares and geldings. The condition is that he must not have access to grass, as he gets colic from it. This is also the reason why the housing at our place is not ideal. He is only sold for pasture turnout in a paddock with a shelter.

A viewing costs a flat fee of €35.
