Rising 3 New Forest mare

Currently standing at 12.2 but likely to grow further. Velvet is a laid back, friendly pony with flashy paces. Father is Longcopse Elton, a dressage pony.

Same home since 6 months old but sadly for sale as daughter has grown too tall.

Has done in hand showing. Loads and travels well. Lead out in hand by 11 year old on forest, roads and fields in company and alone. Not phased by poles.

Good for vet and farrier. Up to date with vaccinations and worm count.

Always first to the gate to see you but chilled out when left alone in field while others are ridden. Lives out but has been stabled on the odd occasion.

Has lightly lunged, long reined and been leant over. But taking it slowly due to her age. Has taken it all in her stride and proving unflappable with all that's been asked so far. Was shown bitted last year and has worn a saddle without bother.

Proving very willing, just a shame that she's been outgrown before being backed. Will be a very sad sale as we have high hopes for her.
