Groot

Meet Groot

Pretty little Groot is now looking for her new home as a project kids’ pony. Groot originally came in as part of a welfare case as a yearling. She has since been out for youngster handling and is now hoping to make a great kid’s pony. She is very well behaved to do in all ways and is good for the vet and farrier. Groot has been great in every step of her education and has come on leaps and bounds. She is good at lunging, pole work, long reining - in walk and trot and has had our dummy on and she has not been phased at one part. We have just recently had a little rider on Groot, and she was very well behaved so we don’t think it will take long before she is up and running with a rider on board. Groot is a very laid-back cob who enjoys the easy life, and she will also try her best to grab a snack or two on the go. Groot is a pony that gains weight very easily so she will need to stay in consistent work and remain on a strict diet to keep her comfortable. To help aid with her weight loss Groot was given a low clip and she stood very nicely to have this done. Groot does have sweet itch, but it is well managed with a fly rug, anti-itch crems and a biweekly soothing bath during the spring and summer months. Groot will be looking for friends who are also kept on a strict diet. Though she can live with geldings she does take quite a liking to them when she is in season, so she would not be suitable to live with any late cut geldings or any that have a keen interest in mares. We have not tried her alone in a field, but she will happily stay in a stable with snacks, whilst her friends are out. If you think that Groot sounds like the one for you, please apply for her online.
