Say hello to Vinny!
Vinny is looking for a home as a lead rein pony.
*Vinny is not located at our Bransby Horses site and is available via our Home to Home process*
Small in stature but huge in personality, Vinny is looking for an experienced perfect partner with a love for Welsh ponies who can see the potential this boy has. He is looking for a quiet, loving home where he will get to go out on lead-rein adventures to explore, with his primary handler being an adult. Vinny forms strong bonds with his handler and is generally good to do however he has been known to bite if he is feeling too pressured, so it is important that his perfect partner can read his body language. He is a very quick learner and a real joy to work with.
He is established in all three paces and enjoys both in-hand and lead rein work. He has potential to do well in the show ring and is a fantastic example of the Welsh Section A breed with excellent confirmation and movement. Vinny has been on a trip to our cross-country schooling site and behaved impeccably with the new surroundings acting well beyond his years staying calm, sensible and not spooking at anything. He jumped in hand over a variety of fences, ditches and walked through the water.
