Description

We brought Pumba in the hopes he would make a good polo horse but unfortunately he isn’t suitable for the game and therefore is needing to be rehomed. 
He has great ground manners, will follow you around like a puppy dog, never walking over the top of you or pushing you around, he loves a cuddle and to be doted over so we feel he would best suit being someones sole or second horse where he can get that extra loving.
He is soft footed so is best to be shod at a minimum on the fronts if working on harder ground, he does have good feet that dont chip easily or fall apart. He is easy to rug, worm, float/truck, tie up, ect.
He has three free flowing paces, a very comfortable canter, he responds well to the seat and leg aids and is soft in the mouth. He can get keen and strong and needs a confident rider who can help him through situations he finds overwhelming. He was a bush hack before we got him and he has done a lot of road riding/leading with us, he can be spooky and try to turn for home. He goes out with company happily and is growing his confidence on solo rides as well.
He has a very nice natural ability for jumping, however has only been jumping small to get his training right from the beginning. We competed at the first Log Fence show jump day, jumping 30cm and 40cm, he placed fourth in both rounds. He found it a little stressful but settled more as he went. We recently attended a xc lesson and round at Capel, it was Pumba’s first time on a xc course and he absolutely loved it! Took it all in his stride and is a very bold jumper.
Not suitable for beginners or nervous riders.
