Hickory is an Arabian X Welsh Pony! He has the most darling personality, when you're working around the barn he nickers to you to get your attention. He is a black base coat turning grey with a striking star and small socks on both hind legs. He has a "go with the flow" personality that makes him a pleasure to work with. His sire, LV Concluding Request (14.3H), is extremely talented & is competitive in Western Dressage & Sport Horse. His dam, Hickory Hollows Miss Jasmine (13.2H), is a child's jumping & lesson pony. We expect him to stay small, around his moms size. He can be triple registered: Arabian Horse Association, Welsh Pony & Cob Society, and Virginia Pony Breeders Association. Both parents are athletic sport horses. Hickory is conformationally correct and we expect him to follow in their "hoof-steps" by growing into a fantastic sport pony who could excel in dressage, eventing, hunter/jumper, fox hunting, endurance, etc. Our babies get extensive handling, at weaning all of our foals can lead, load in the trailer, have their hooves trimmed, stand to be groomed & have had a exposure to a variety of situations and "spooky" objects. We are expecting our first human baby in the Spring and looking to downsize the herd for winter.
