Pony For Sale $500.00 OBO

Name: Digger

Breed: Welch Cob/Hackney mix

Height: 13.2 hands

Weight: 680 lbs.

10 year old gelding with great conformation for a pony (looks like a miniaturized quarter horse). No big fat pony belly, nice muscle, great neck, beautiful mane and tale.

Color: Dark Bay/sooty/Brown (black mane and tale and hard to see black points) small white snip on the muscle and forehead, small white band around right rear hoof.

 

6 year old daughter has rode him around 8 to 10 times in the last 6 months of ownership and he did great with her, no problems at all. He walked, trotted, stopped, and backed just fine. A few other children have rode him a few times and had no problems at all. He has speed if asked for, great natural role-back and turns, would be great for barrels, polls, or possibly a good prospect to be trained for child to learn to rope or rein. We suspect he might have been trained at some point in front of a cart, but not for sure, high steps in his trot nicely. He rides in semi quarter horse bars and a tom-thumb.

 

The only problems we have had with him are; he has always been a hard catch and he does not like the bigger kids and grownups riding (anything over 100 lbs is what we have found he does not like).

 

Wolf teeth were taken out before Christmas, sheath cleaned, and shots done. Will be do for next deworming on July 1^st 2006 and next Farrier trim around July 1^st 2006 also. Will be do for teeth floating in the fall or next spring. Easy keep on body weight, eats three 6 oz cups of 10% sweet feed and three 6 oz cups of rolled oats in the morning, with 2 flakes of hay in the morning, afternoon and evening (in dry lot for the past 6 months, would need to be weaned back onto grass).
