Black Layce

Introduction: Layce is the ultimate competitive showjumper schoolmaster. She is a delight to ride, handle and compete. Layce has been a National Champion showjumper for her last two junior riders and has many years left to continue this legacy with a new best friend. 

With Layce’s owner very sadly having outgrown her, this sale presents an opportunity for another young rider to benefit from Layce’s talent and kindness.

Education, riding and experience: Layce is well established on the flat and would be competent to compete at preliminary level dressage. She is responsive and willing, which also makes her rideable, adjustable and competitive on course.

Layce is competing 70-90cm with 95cm jump offs. She is honest, trustworthy, brave and is very careful around the course. Layce has schooled cross country and is brave and calm. Layce loves trail riding and spending time with her person.

Layce is a true ‘junior’s schoolmaster’ - tolerant of rider mistakes and always aiming to please. She does, however, enjoy her job and is quick if the rider asks her to be. Layce is always 100% safe. She is currently in work and competing. 

Handling: Layce is patient and well mannered on the ground to rug, wash, shoe etc. She is great for the farrier. Layce does require a patient and calm vet and clipper. She is very easy to load, travel and unload - in either a float or truck. She loves cuddles and affection.

Behaviour: Layce has traveled all over the country. She is happy in big city and big show environments. She travels well - loads and unloads without fuss and eats and drinks well when away from home.  

Layce is sensible and reliable and to ride and handle. She does not have any vices under-saddle or on the ground. She can be a bit looky or have a spook when fresh. Layce can also bunny hop if someone gets cranky with her but she is always 100% safe.

Feeding and management: Layce is fed a simple diet of chaff, CEN grain free and hay. Layce is easy to manage and can be stabled or paddock on her own or in a herd but does require a companion in sight.

Medical history: Layce does not have any medical issues. 

Rider Suitability: Layce would suit a calm and balanced rider who is looking for a safe, straightforward and competitive pony.

Reason for sale: Layce is very sadly for sale due to her owner out growing her.
