It’s hard to find the whole package, especially in a pony… Here she is folks! “Martini” is a coming 5yr old, 13hand, Draft cross pony. We don’t take it lightly calling her our wonder pony. Martini was raised here at our farm and was started and has been trained on the last year by one of the most talented young riders I’ve come across. She has been nothing but a pleasure to have here at the farm and has been our go to pony over the last year for just about anything. Martini stands at 13hands with a stocky build, great hair and good bone. She has wonderful ground manners and is easy to catch, bathe, load, shoe, etc. She knows all the Fundamental groundwork and will lunge, round pen, moves hips/shoulders and will do all the showmanship manuevers. Groundwork is not required, but is a fun tool to have in your box. Martini has done a very wide variety of things over the last year. She has been hauled to every local arena, barrel race, roping and horse show. Not only is she solid in the arena, but she has done more outside of the arena then your average 10 year old horse. Martini has participated in all of the Christmas, cowboy day and mule day parades including a parade in Columbia, TN with over 200 wagons, horses and mules. She has been rode alongside busy highways and roads, through drive throughs and all over town. Along with parades, she has carried flags (double) in rodeos, been rode on every trail under the sun and been on camping trips. She will stand highlined, to the trailer and she is also used to and quiet in a stall. Not only is she gentle, she is BROKE! She will side pass, turn around/spin, shoulder in shoulder out, soften to the bit and has easy upward and downward transitions all in a snaffle bridle. Martini has a ranch riding style foundation but could go anyway. She goes over cross country jumps, obstacles, cross rails… She will drag logs, lope through the barrel pattern and has been successful showing on the rail at both club shows and in all breed classes at AQHA shows. I can’t say enough good things about this pony, she has truly been a blessing to our farm and built many young riders confidence. Located in Birmingham, AL and up to date on everything. We keep four shoes on her only for trails and riding down roads.
