Are you looking for a leading rein, saddle, or in hand stand out? Or just friendly face to be your kiddos next best friend? Look no further!
Beau possesses truly stand out movement, is beautifully put together, and will excell in the show ring under saddle. He has shown with incredible success in his youngstock career, and would easily continue to stand out in hand as well.
He holds himself in a beautiful outline, even for small hands, and is a responsive and kind ride. He is active but not hot in his forwardness and has excellent brakes! He is everything you look for in a leading rein pony, easy to shape, responsive to a small rider, not reliant on his handler, and loves to be loved by kids!
This is the kind of pony who would live in your pocket if you let him, and wants nothing more than to be everyone's best friend - horse or human! In fact, no one really gets a choice in being this social butterfly's friend (not that anyone has complained π).
Last year at Colac Show he was taken in the Country Kids Ring having not met his rider or handler before, and did not put a hoof out of line all day for his beginner rider! It was truly as if he'd been piloting kids around the ring for years.
We can see him excelling equally as a pony club or show superstar - or do it all! He will give his hoof a turn at whatever you ask of him.
It's truly hard to find a fault with this pony, we have seen zero dirt and even with his cheeky spark he is always easy and respectful to handle, even for kids.
He does sometimes show some nervousness on the ground if he thinks someone is upset with him, and is sometimes a little head shy.
These moments are now few and far between, and he has never shown any pull back, bolt, or even true spook.
He will catch you in the paddock, ties all day, loads first time in the float, is easy to rug, feet, great to wash, and is fantastic foat bait and company out and about for other horses, not stressing if they come and go.
'Little' Beau as he is known around Fairfield has been with us longer term having a full re-set and furthering his skill set. At first unsure under saddle he has absolutely FLOURISHED and we are so proud of him.
Little Beau would do best in a horsey home to continue developing his under saddle career in a way that allows his confidence to continue to shine. We would be happy placing Beau with a beginner child on lead, more capable child of any age, or small teen rider.
Off lead Beau does still require a rider with a good seat and quiet hands, he's not yet had the miles for a beginner without assistance - however does not take advantage of his riders as they come off lead. As his rider developed their skill we believe Beau would transition off lead with them.

Pictured is also some of Beau's photos of showing as a youngster where he achieved incredible feedback from judges and countless Supreme titles including at State and National Titles.
There is nothing (aside from a bath and possibly a hair cut) stopping him from doing it again - and nothing other than putting on the gear and getting in the ring to stop him starting to do it under saddle π₯°
