He has met his reserve price so he will go to the highest bidder! Nelly is one of the most beautiful half-Fell ponies you’ll find. He is a 9-year-old black gelding, standing 42 inches tall, and he has all the looks and personality, just look at that mane and tail! Nelly is the barn favorite that everyone wants to ride and drive. He is wonderful with kids, loves to be groomed, and has no kick or bite. Truly a big horse trapped in a little horse’s body, Nelly has exceptional manners and a kind, willing attitude. He has been there and done that, both riding and driving. My 7-year-old can drive him anywhere, he has a nice trot that covers a lot of ground. Nelly is 100% gentle with ZERO buck. You can step on him on the coldest morning, even after a month off, and ask him to walk straight off or pick up a lope without hesitation. He is easy to handle and tack up, and under saddle he is an absolute blast. He will walk, trot, lope circles, and has a good stop. We’ve been roping the sled dummy on him and he is doing great. Nelly has been learning barrels, poles, goat tying, and excels at all of them. He goes wherever you point him, over jumps, through creeks, and down the trails. He will walk on a loose rein all day, confidently leading or following on the trail without a care. Nelly has drug logs and barrels, carried tarps, walked over them, and proudly carried the American flag. He’s had kids and dogs running all around him and never bats an eye. He has been hauled to ropings, barrel races, rodeos, jumped courses, worked cows, drug calves, hog hunted, swam ponds, and traveled through everything from thick brush to boggy creeks and down the road. Trains honking and passing don’t bother him at all. He has seen more country than most people! He even rides English, and my kids love jumping him. Both of my girls, ages 7 and 10, catch him by themselves, saddle and bridle him, and ride him everywhere with ZERO help from an adult. Nelly is truly the coolest little guy around, and everywhere we go he gets all the attention thanks to his sweet personality and stunning looks. He leads, loads, ties, bathes, and hauls like a pro. He gets along great with both big horses and minis. He is an easy keeper, and stays fat on air. Nelly is UTD on farrier, vaccinations, and deworming.
