Pengwyn's GWENDOLYN
"Libby"
North American Junior Field Hunter
Championships:
Reserve Champion Hilltopper Division 2006
4th Place First Flight Division 2008
I have known Libby since the winter of 2004. She
originally came to me for training and since then, I have seen her through her
last three homes.
I have watched all three children blossom in their confidence
and love for riding as a result of this pony’s wonderful nature and usefulness.
She has brought so much confidence to her young riders and they are all sad that
they have outgrown her.
I originally introduced her to hunting in the fall of 2005,
where she took to it like a natural--great with hounds and a super jumper. Since then she was campaigned in the local show world and won many
ribbons.
She has been a confidence builder for her current 12 year old owner
who was learning to move up to the first flight in the hunt field.
Although lazy in the ring (yet one of her owners showed her just about every
weekend and took her to VHSA Associate Finals!) Libby excels as a hunt pony.
She
hunted a full season, first flight, in 2008-2009 with the Piedmont Foxhounds and
qualified again in November 2008 for the North American Junior Field Hunter
Championships, this time in the first flight group, and placed Fourth overall.
This
pony is very special and we are hoping to find her a home in time for the
2009-2010 hunt season.
Getting fit for hunting!
PREVIOUS:
'Libby' is an extremely quiet, honest, & easy going
13.1H, steele grey, 6 year old, registered VPBA(Virginia Pony Breeders
Association) mare. Her sire is the infamous Pengwyn, know for his great
disposition, for which he has passed every bit of his sense down to this
mare. She has been hunting every week since the season began with the
Middleburg Orange County Beagles carrying a 10 year old.
She won Reserve Champion at the Junior North American
Field Hunter Championships this year and has no vices or 'holes'. This mare
is bombproof and she is fantastic around hounds. She is also a super cute
jumper and fancy enough to do the A shows. She is sensible enough for a lead
liner but talented enough to hunt first flight. She also is one that does
not need to be ridden every day to remain sane.
She is just naturally good natured. Great on crossties
for grooming & gentle even around the smallest children. Super pony for all
children in the family.
