Competitive Interschools Pony - Silkwood EclipseARP Gelding, 14.2hh, 15years (DOB 2011)Sire and Dam: Jackets Bluebird & Yeoway KimberlyIt is with a heavy heart that we offer Benji for sale, sadly my daughter has outgrown him. In the past five years, Benji has taken my daughter from a beginner rider at 10yo to competing in Grade 1 PC, Elementary, and training at a medium level. We have focused predominantly on dressage with professional coaching and campaigned heavily in FEI CDI, Official EA, Interschools and PC competitions, achieving many successes. Benjis a ripper pony that will take another rider a long way under correct coaching. Hes not a beginner's pony; he requires a confident, balanced rider who is on the way to developing a seat. Hes mostly straightforward, but as an ARP, he will occasionally need a reminder to focus on his job. Benji also loves to jump, and weve competed him up to 70cm and competed at the 2024 Interschools Nationals for CT65. Given Benjis petite frame, he would suit a pre-teen or small teen/adult rider looking for a pony that has been there, done that. Hes well-mannered on the ground for a young child, never kicked or bitten. Perfect to catch, clip, shoe and float. Despite rising 15 years old, he is in excellent sound condition and can offer many more years of education and competition to his next partner. All vetting is welcome, and recent X-rays are available on request. He has been adored by my family; hell only be sold to the perfect home.Benji comes with a Dressage Saddle: Trainer -Jessica (black), 2x bridles, fake tail and a collection of rugs.Asking $21,000 negotiable for the right home.Plenty of videos are available upon request, and Im happy to discuss Benji in more detail with any serious buyers.

Amazing temperament and bloodlines.

ID: 3825

$20,000.00

  • Discipline:Adult Riding Club
  • Gender:Horse
  • Height:16h 3"
  • Age:6

Amazing temperament.If you want a young horse with the works... Breeding, good quiet temperament, easy to anything with sienna is the mare for you. Riding 7YO 16'3hh Questing R mare who has been working nicely under saddle. This girl has been trucked, floated, been out to the beach, cross country days, pony club, multiple outings and out on the road. Currently barefoot and not too sensitive on her feet.She is a mare suited to dressage or low level jumping who would suit a competent young rider, educated adult rider looking for their next quiet dressage prospect or even for a capable rider looking for confidence. She would also make an awesome brood mare but personally feel she would be waisted due to her amazing temperament as a ride horse. Sienna is elegant, expressive Warmblood mare combining world-class bloodlines, superior movement, and an exceptionally willing temperament. By Questing R (Quarterback line) and out of a proven HRCAV Advanced mare with Mayfield Pizazz as damsire, she carries a pedigree renowned for power, elasticity, and trainabilitya genetic foundation ideal for riders aiming at upper-level dressage.Due to lots of interest from high level dressage riders, please know that although she is sound, sienna has a very old paddock injury sustained as a 3YO. She was rested, rehabbed and veted prior to being brought into work a year ago. Due to this I would not recommend her for high level dressage or jumping due to the strain this puts on a horses body especially in the time frame offen expected of high level horses. She definitely has the talent to take someone up the levels in dressage and possibly get to a higher level over a slower time frame. Selling due to time and money restraints. This mare deserves so much more than general riding and I'm Currently not looking to competing at this stage with new EA price and club prices.
