Description
Cadarn Roberto – Rodney
Date of birth 28/10/12 Sire: Gundagai Booraboora. Dam: Kinkora Olivia
13hh (home measured) Flaxen Chestnut Gelding. Rodney is excellent to float/dentist/clip/handle in general. Has excellent feet and has always been barefoot.
We have done all sorts of things with Rodney, including – pony club, river riding & swimming, hacking, showing, dressage, obstacles, bareback riding. Rodney is full of personality and welsh pony cheek. We brought him as a first pony type for our daughter, however I think he is best suited as a second or third pony for a competent rider to bring out the best in him. He is still relatively inexperienced at some aspects (low mileage for his age) and requires a competent rider to give him confidence and leadership.
Rodney has 3 lovely paces, is very eye catching, and has a beautiful soft mouth. He stays in a lovely rhythmical canter, and has a fabulous natural style over the jumps. I think he would excel in Show Hunter and had our daughter’s legs stopped growing we would have liked to aim towards this area. He is faultless to hack out, but does prefer a friend to go with. I wander down the road with our mini, while my daughter trots and canters off bareback.
As with all ponies, he runs off the smell of an oily rag. We keep him on a hay diet with a daily hardfeed with his vits n mins.
We have lots of photos and videos available. Clink on the link below for some short videos of him. If you click onto my profile there are a bunch of clips. https://youtu.be/ixwtZPDJkCE?feature=shared
