horses for sale

Hershey is a stunning dressage pony that catches everyone’s attention everywhere he goes.  He was imported this March from Canada after being in professional dressage training there and trail riding in the Canadian country side.   Purchased as a potential mount for a senior rider or as a potential resale, he has turned out to be the latter through no fault of his own.  He has been in professional dressage training since being imported.  Hershey attended his first sanctioned dressage show in August, 2023, with a young rider aboard, earning 4 scores 60-66% in Training level tests 2 and 3.  At home, he is schooling shoulder in, haunches in, and half pass.  Hershey is not spooky, is easy to handle and a complete gentleman at the show both in a busy warm up and in the ring.  He has a lovely walk, forward trot, outstanding canter and loves his lateral work.  He looks, moves, and acts as an upper level dressage horse in a 14.1H body.  He has not bucked, reared or bolted (rides in a snaffle) but is sensitive to the leg and seat and is therefore not the best fit for a beginner rider or anyone needing a baby sitter instead of a high-performance show pony.  He gets along well with his herd mates, goes out at night, is barefoot with no maintenance and is an easy keeper.  Talented dressage ponies are few and far between! This guy loves to work and would be happy to continue on a dressage path up the levels.  Price will increase with training and experience.  Young rider in photos is 5.4 for reference.  Radiographs from spring 2023 available on request.
