Fun & Safe Competition / Event Pony

ROLO (Sunnybanks Sweet Peter Pan) Irish Sports 13 years (he'll be 13 next month) Gelding 14.1 hands * Numerous top 10 placings at BE80 * Qualified for British Eventing Area Festival 2022 * 18 prelim points at Prelim level over very few outings * Qualified for British Dressage Winter area Festival * Qualified and placed in National Hunter Trials Championships Rolo is a superstar pony, he loves getting out and competing, he would suit a competitive / eventing home where he can show off his skills, he would also thrive in Pony Club for a confident rider as he's well behaved and enjoys a challenge. Rolo has done BE80 and schooled at BE100 fences in his previous home as well as BD (records can be seen on request, scores of 73% in first test), he's a machine at XC and knows his way around a show jumping course as well as being skilled in dressage tests. He travels seamlessly across the ground and makes time with ease (too fast on occasions!), he has a scopy jump and thrives in the more technical courses. He is a solid, safe ride and gives his rider a feeling like no other! BUT I wouldn't say he's a novice ride or for someone coming off a kick-along type, he knows his job and would suit someone who enjoys and appreciates his speed and agility. Get him on an XC course and he'll jump like no other, he has an un-failing confidence and will give his rider his absolute everything! When schooled in the arena he's very well behaved on the flat, he has excellent paces and can stretch into some beautiful dressage moves and had the badges to prove it - he really is a gem because he can be speedy with XC and Eventing but really have the patience with Dressage and lunching/flat work. He’s eager to please and quick to learn, he loves company and a being busy boy, he’s super sociable, gives lots of cuddles and is loved by everyone. Rolo has also been hunting and proved mannerly and jumped everything he was pointed at. He's also done sponsored rides in The Cotswolds and loved every minute (especially the pub stops!) The beauty of Rolo is that he's forward going but safe (which is a rare find and every parents dream), he is able to go at the riders pace when asked making him a real confidence giver - he can be whizzed up or slowed down. He'll take his rider to the jump and always help his rider out. Being forwards and whizzy, he can navigate sharp turns and will jump anything, he’d excel with an experienced rider who is keen to get out there and have lots of fun! He's definitely not a first pony because he's fast but will be a great second pony who will take his rider far whilst giving confidence. He excels in XC, good over water and all terrains. Showjumping 80-90s with ease, and has potential for more Does a lovely dressage test (has done British Dressage) Done rural rides, road rides, beach rides, hacking... he’s great alone or in company. Great on the lunge line. Vacs, teeth and worming all up to date. Recently, shod and ready to get out and about this upcoming season. Never sick or sorry, never had any injuries. He loads and travels like a dream, stands happily on the box and is good to catch. He also stands well for the farrier and the dentist. He’s gets a little worried with the clippers and we give him mild sedation. Great with farm machinery and can live in or out He can be turned out with one other or in a herd, he’s also okay alone as long as he can see others but he’s a sociable pony and loves his friends. We've owned Rolo for 18 months now, we bought him for our 15 year old daughter who was keen to Event and Show-jump. However because of a nasty riding injury (previous to Rolo) that resulted in complications with her leg gaining back its original strength, she's ultimately lost her passion for the speed and jumping. However, to her credit she has still jumped him regularly, hacked, done sponsored rides, XC and worked a lot on his Dressage, flatwork and balance so he's and even better well-rounded pony with lots of milage left for him to go far.... he really has done it all and it's a credit to his character to be able to step up or step back when needed. We've really enjoyed having him around, hence why this is such a sad sale for us but ultimately we know he needs to out and about again eventing and jumping which is what he loves and where he thrives - we'd love to see someone else enjoy him as much as we have. We know this amazing pony has so much to give and he’s ready for the summer season to get out there win medals and have fun! The price for this handsome boy also includes fitted tack (Kent and masters saddle), a dressage saddle, and all his rugs. He also has the 'prophets thumb mark' which is considered Good Luck (someone noticed this recently at a show) - he's definitely a special little pony! This is a difficult sale for us so serious 5 star home enquiries only.
