Pal is looking for his next home. He would do great with a confident, advanced beginner in a riding program. He is a great size, small enough for a smaller rider but large enough that an instructor could hop on and school if needed. He is currently being used 2 days a week as a lesson pony and ridden 2-3 days a week by an adult to continue his education.

He loads, hauls, bathes, and clips. Stands respectfully when tied to trailers or in the barn.

Under saddle, most days he has more whoa than go, however has enough forward to jump and long-trot/canter down trails (or even XC). (which is why he isn't well suited for a green absolute beginner just learning to ride). He would be best suited for a kid ready to move up from the walk-trot cross rail horse. He is a great step up horse before a regular sized horse. He has a solid walk/trot/canter with great cadence. Currently working on accepting consistent contact, lateral movements, and overall smoothness. He has also been ridden western and neck reins.

Currently jumping 2 ft 3 inches at shows, schooling up to 2 ft 9. He loves to jump.

He is confident on the trails. He is normally not spooky, but when he occasionally does, he jumps in place, stops and looks.

He doesn’t have a lot of show experience but has been shown this year. What he lacks in experience he makes up for with heart and try. He has only been to three shows (one jumper show and 2 one day events) and a horse camp. The show environment is new to him but he handled himself very well. This horse has lots of potential.

If jumping or eventing isn't your thing, I could see him excelling in any area. He has a great foundation which lends him to be able to go in any direction.

More photos and videos on a google drive available, just send me a message.

Unknown breeding. Cute, short and sturdy.
