"Trixie"
Age: 16/17
Height: 12.2hh
Sex: Mare
If you want cute, flashy, and sane, take a look at miss Trixie! Standing at 12.2hh, this cute pony is the perfect size for a bigger child and suitable as both a lead line pony and a step up pony! Great ground manners, this adorable pony isnt cinchy, leads great, ties, cross ties, picks up hooves, and stand for bathing. She loads and unloads (sometimes needs a little encouragement from behind to step up, but never a hard refusal!) She stalls in a box stall and straight stall or can live out in a mixed herd with no problems. She respects fencing and is an easy keeper.
With the perfect amount of "go" and "woah," you'll be hard pressed to find a more balanced pony. Walk, trot, canter, stop, and back. She can take a joke and is tolerant of a lot-- kids have rode her "side saddle," stood up on her back, waved their arms, sat on her backwards, and more. Shes crosses tarps, brush, logs, rivers, and has rode with dogs.. And doesn't even try to yank your arms out of socket in attempt to eat! I think it is safe to say Trixie is a top notch trail pony! Because she is not half dead with one hoof in the grave, I recommend her for an advanced/confident beginner child at least. However the children that have rode her for me love her and are adamant she is easy to handle and ride and not at all intimidating.
I was told she was previously used as a jumping pony, however I do not have any kids who jump so I am unable to confirm this. I believe she will excel in whatever discipline you wanted to try.. Jumping, barrels, trail, obstacles.... Trixie will be great! Shes not mareish and I have yet to see any sneaky "pony tricks." Check out her video to see for yourself what an amazing little partner this mare could be.
