Violet was broken in last year and has done local shows and dressage , she's placed every time and has behaved beautifully. With the right schooling she could go on to compete at a much higher level. She's jumped and shows and great potential there too. This pony is a beautiful character, she's kind and wants to always please you, if you are kind to her she will do anything for her.
She's been ridden by my 9 year old daughter but I'd not say she is a first pony she requires a sensitive gentle rider to bring her on in her career.
She's great to trim and loads like a dream, we don't hack as our road can be fast so I'm not sure what she would be like hacking but she's come from a busy working farm and been out when the shoot is on without any problems.
She's currently turned out for winter so would require bring back into work after a month or so off ( only due to a lack of arena at home ) .
