Started under saddle in spring 2007, Tony has also had six months professional training (90 days under saddle with a dressage trainer). Shown intro level--winning second place (out of nine horses) his first time out at the 2007 AHR National Show--working training level. Tony's natural athleticism, self-carriage and willing work ethic, combined with his quiet and gentle (not at all spooky) nature, makes him an outstanding youth or 4-H horse. While his training has focused mostly in dressage up to this point, Tony would also be an excellent hunter under saddle pony.

In addition to working under saddle, Tony leads, clips, ties, loads, and has excellent ground manners, standing well for the farrier and vet. He has been worked in the round pen, lunges, and has been ground-driven and long-lined (inside and outside). He would make a fantastic pleasure or combined driving pony as well; we have just chosen to focus on his under saddle work. Tony gets along with any other horse that he has been turned out with--mares, gelding, and even our young stallion! He is just as happy turned out in a pasture with a run-in shed as he is in a stall.

   

Tony is currently being ridden on trails and the roads, and will be shown under saddle in some English, western and dressage classes this summer and fall until sold. Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to purchase a talented FEI Pony Prospect or hunter/eventing prospect. We are finding ourselves with too many horses and too little time, and so have reduced Tony's price until we begin our show season in August. You will not find a better tempered or talented horse with so much potential at this price! Serious inquiries only please. New photos coming soon!
