***unfortunately I have had phone issues for a few days and lost all numbers/messages. I have decided to withdraw him from sale for the moment, apologies for not getting back to anyone***


Very tentatively offering my boy up for sale, through absolutely no fault of his own.

Strikingly handsome 6yo sports horse gelding, approximately 16hands (although he is incredibly deep and seems larger). Pongo has been started slowly and has not been rushed in anyway, owing to my pregnancy and having a baby. However, this has given him time to mature mentally and physically and fill out correctly. Backed by myself (whilst pregnant), he has been very uncomplicated throughout. I have been able to pick him up and put him down without any issues, and he is genuinely just wants to please.

This horse is bred to event, his dam is 3/4 sibling to Opposition Buzz and his sire did some grassroots eventing before concentrating on dressage. Pongo only started jumping this year but is proving to be quite brave and straightforward. He went to his first arena sj hire a couple of weeks ago (his first time seeing fillers or a full course and a water tray), and he was not phased in the slightest, surprising me with how genuine he was. Has seen XC fences and I truly believe he has the ability to be a future event horse.

Hacks alone, or in company, he is used to farm machinery/quarry trucks/cows etc. Pongo has three good paces and a naturally good rhythm, he would equally make a pure dressage horse. He is always snaffle mouthed - he’s slightly more whoa than go - and requires no ‘gadgets’. As easy as he has been, he will not be sold to a novice as he is still young and developing.

Asides from his ridden ability, this boy is a very sweet and friendly person. He comes to call in the field, and is fantastic to handle - I juggle him alongside the dog and baby in pram - he even took part in our wedding! He is good with the farrier, good to clip and to travel (never travelled in a trailer, but has loaded into one). Pongo is currently living out, although will require stabling during the winter, he can be stressed if left in on his own.

Owned from 8 weeks old, this is an incredibly heartbreaking sale, and something that I have been putting off for a very long time, however, a horse like this needs to be out competing and that I something that I’m not in the position to do right now. I will never be able to afford to buy a horse like this again, only for sale to the absolute best of homes

£7500, he would be worth so much more if he had been out to a couple of competitions. Fitted tack available by separate negotiation
