I’m a 12.3hh dapple grey, I have quite a long back really but I do have a very handsome head, a fine figure of a pony, I’m sure you’ll agree. I have a short striding trot and you have to be quick with your rising trot to keep up with me.

I have lived at Croft End for over 8 years and I am a firm favourite with the children, I love to be led with even the smallest of children on my back, I am so comfortable to ride with virtually no bounce to my trot.

I am in the pony gang and I go out on the field with my boy pals; Bubble, Hector, Toby & Lucky. We chill together, sometimes run around and swap gossip. Speaking of which, I must tell them that there is a new little girl pony in my stable block and she’s as cute as they come!

Croft End annual show is coming up – I hope that somebody has booked me. I’ll show them what I can really do. I’ll have a go at most things even balloons in the Handy Pony! Some (people might think I’m nervous but that’s just my sense of humour). I think they crowds will be shocked when they see me jump this year, just steer me in the right direction and I’ll do the rest, just putting in enough effort to clear the fence and keep rider on board.

My favourite time at Croft End is when we have a lecture demonstration in the Indoor School and at the end when all the audience clap and cheer – I join in by whinnying as loud as I possibly can – then everybody laughs and I do it again!

Got to go now, it’s nearly our turn for the field!
