Description
Sonny is the most beautiful boy inside and out, a Dartmoor hill pony
His temperament is amazing, he loves every one and wants to be involved in all the goings on around the yard, he’s also very playful and sociable and loves his toys, at the same time, he is respectful of space .
Good for the vet and farrier, easy to catch and leads well.
Sonny has no health issues
He will stand well for grooming and plaiting and listens well to commands so will make an ideal show pony
Sonny is better with geldings as he gets a little too excited around mares although he currently lives in a paddock next to mares with no issues .However he is good with an older mare who will tell him that his behaviour is not acceptable . Very respectful of fencing, although he will lean over to talk to his friends 😊
I would like to find a long term loan home for Sonny preferably with other geldings, and to continue with regular handling and ground work as he would be bored as a companion only.
Sonny will make a great M & M prospect for a confident child
Sonny is still growing but he will require restricted grazing in the future
He can live out all year but will require a field shelter
A home in Devon or Cornwall is preferable but I will consider a wider area for Sonny’s perfect home
Problems
Sonny’s only issue is that he gets very excited if mares are in the same field but will respect an older more dominant mare However this should diminish over time
Health Issues
Sonny has no health issues and his vaccinations are up to date
Ideal Home
Long term loan home with geldings where he will continue his handling and ground work as he will be bored just being a companion
