My friend (an adult) has a 7/8 year old 14.2 hand pony that needs a very experienced rider to get her going again. The story is this pony was rushed and highly abused as a youngster (jumping 4ft by the age of 3, and was flipped over on purpose) and shes very sweet, but very stubborn, likes to rear and sometimes kicks out, but VERY VERY VERY athletic and an AMAZING jumper. She just got her eye removed (from the abusing from her past) and the owner wants someone to ride her, or get her going again, or if any one wants a lease project. She is brave, and doesnt spook much despite the eye thing, she just wouldnt go forward, tosses her head, and will rear. This pony needs a quiet, confident rider to bring her back very slowly because she goes in cycles where she will be coming along great, and then reverse back to old habbits (which happened right before her eye got removed and then she was on rest) Since her eye has been removed, the owner said shes much quieter, doesnt really toss her head much on the lunge anymore or anything, but she doesnt want to start her back undersadde because she has not rode a green horse in a very very long time. She was jumping 2'9 solidly, does lead changes in a snap, nice nice movement, could be a A rated show pony easily... but then one day she just revereted back started rearing, ect. and then they needed to get her eye remove, and she hasnt been backed since and so its been a good year. Was great on trails. Onetime, someone set up like 6inch caveltties (like trot poles) and the striding was too short, so she just jumped the whole thing which was a good 6ft wide. Shes very atheletic, and could be very nice, just needs a rider willing to take on the challege. Owner does not want to sell, but will lease her out or pay a rider. PM me for more details.
). He is over in the Deale area and he used to do Endurance or something. I think he just does the basic manners which this horse sounds like she needs. Freedom Hill Horse Rescue uses him for their training. I've heard he works very well with the horses and is very effective. Sorry about the confusion and uncertainty.
