- Description
- Indie has lovingly been my daughters best friend for the last 2 years. We’re now tentatively looking for her new home as my daughter begins to advance in her competitive riding. She is in her element hacking, where she is constantly safe, easy going and a fun companion. She is comfortable throughout woodland, on road and passing farm animals. I have been able to let her take my daughter from the age of 9 and her novice younger brother too, out hacking with never a fear she will spook or be silly. She is unflappable around yard machinery, dogs and other ponies even having a stroppy moment. Whilst out hacking, she loves being asked to jump a log, canter through a field, so has great potential to be a great hunter or cross country pony, but we’ve not yet tested that out extensively. We have done various showing competitions and due to her striking colouring, she always brings home the rosettes. This year she qualified for Sunshine Tours Prettiest Mare and Coloured in Hand. Whilst my daughter has confidently jumped in the school with Indie, schooling is the one area she does not overly enjoy and where we have seen any resistance from Indie (if your leg isn’t on correctly, she might throw a bunny hop/buck in canter). Our trainer has managed to push through this with Indie and can school her with no issues at all, but she would need a strong confident young adult to excel from a life in the school arena. She is a dream to groom and will stand for hours to be fussed. Kindly picks her feet up and is confidently caught in the field by young daughter. Up to date with vaccinations, farrier regularly attends (she is barefoot), worming and dentist. She was five* vetted when we bought her 2 years ago, including clean X-rays on her feet. She has no experience of laminitis. She was showing some heat in her SI when she first came to us, so was injected there. However this has not reoccurred and no sign of needing treatment again. Searching for a 5* home for Indie. £4850 £5150 including saddle, 5 x rugs and 2 x bridles
