Topbrave New Forest D-pony All-rounder incl. 2 Prestige saddles

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

Hero is a true all-rounder: dressage, showjumping, and hacking. He is well-behaved and reliable, yet has enough talent to further challenge and develop a rider who already knows the basics.

It breaks our hearts to look for a new, suitable home for Hero (Altrido Wiona’s Hero). Because our son has stopped riding, we want to give 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 owned him since he was six
Pedigree: Holthausen Frodo II

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

Hero is a great pony to keep learning on once you have mastered the basics. He is also a lot of fun for a more advanced rider to work with: he picks up exercises easily and is eager to work with you. When you ask something of him, he will put in the effort. This makes him a wonderful pony to grow with and develop your riding skills.

Hero has previously competed in L dressage. Because our son had no competition ambitions, he mostly competed in club shows in dressage and showjumping.

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

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

Hero is a pony you can easily catch from the pasture; he walks along relaxed on the lead rope. In the wash rack/grooming area, he stands dozing peacefully while being groomed and tacked up. He truly enjoys the attention.

Hero stays out 24/7 in our fields during summer, and outside during the day in winter. At night he is stabled. In winter, he wears a 0-gram turnout rug.

He is well-behaved with the farrier, dentist, and saddler, and has always been properly maintained. He is up to date on vaccinations and worming, and has no stable vices.

He recently passed a clinical pre-purchase exam.

Trailer loading went well in the past; this currently requires some calm practice again.

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

Important to us:
We are looking for a buyer who will enjoy doing all-rounder activities with him and truly sees him as a companion.

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

Because Hero’s well-being is our top priority, we are open to a reasonable offer if there is a great match.
