This beautiful 14 hh 10 year old pony is for sale to an experienced home that can further build on his training. He is by the GP pony Hilkens Denali out of an arab mare.

He has 3 correct paces and is very forward moving and supple, working off light aids and responsive to all seat/weight aids. He is currently working nicely at prelim to novice level (L1/2) with leg yield and shoulder-in well established and all the other lateral work underway. He loves to work, tries very hard to please and is very intelligent picking up new exercises and movements quickly. He loves to get out and has enjoyed riding down our quiet road and on the farm. His previous owners have had him jumping comfortably over 80 cm.

Disco is very sweet and thrives in regular work with variety. He was bred for dressage but would excel in any type of performance sport. He has been in and out of spelling with short periods of work for most of his life so he is very low mileage for his age but it means he is green. He has had very little exposure out so can be tense and looky in new environments. Over the summer months he has had several successful outings at a local show, endurance rides and dressage ribbon day. He loved the endurance rides, finishing fourth in the 20 km ride at Matahiwi in just over 2 hours and vetted before/after in the 40s for his heart rate. He coped well riding through cows and sheep, through a creek and under the running dairy farm pivot irrigator. He also qualified at Black Rock handling the hills well despite no training.

He has great feet and is well behaved for the farrier (both shod and trimming) and to worm. He is good to ride out/paddock on his own/with others. He will be sold with his rugs and bridle while his saddle will also be available to purchase.

Due to being so green, Disco is not suitable for a younger child and would better suit a confident older child/teenager or adult who has the experience to finish shaping him into a well rounded and confident horse. Video avail https://youtu.be/NLfO0RQn05Q
