SUPER TALENTED COMPETITION PONY
Daedalus LL – “Bounce”
9yr old 148cms dark bay gelding competing at Elementary and show jumping, Bounce has correct expressive paces, intelligence and a great work ethic.
Bounce has never scored less than 60% in Novice with an affiliated top score of 70%. He recently scored 69% at an unaffiliated Novice competition with an 11year old rider competing at her second ever dressage competition. He has started affiliated at Elementary, and has already scored 64%. He also shows considerable talent at jumping, jumping 1.10 at home and was 3rd in the open at a recent competition achieving 3 clear rounds. Bounce shows great ability in flatwork with correct paces and would make a fantastic BYRDS pony and will easily cope with the Pony FEI tests. This pony is so multi talented that he would do equally as well in Eventing or Working hunter pony classes. He is a true athlete and will take his jockey to a high level in any sphere.
At present his lateral work is established and he is happy to leg-yield, shoulder-in and half pass at trot and canter. He is schooled by Tracy 3 times a week, and is being regularly competed by Tracy herself and by two of her pupils, an 11 year old and a Para rider, both of whom find him straightforward.
Bounce’s father is Chinnor Democrat, a 15.2 dark bay stallion who competed up to Advanced Medium level, qualifying for the Nationals and representing Wales. All Demo’s offspring inherit his kind temperament and strong work ethic, my daughter started schooling him when she was 14. Demo comes from Eventing stock, and was bought by Tracy as a 3 year old from Chinnor eventing stud as, despite showing exceptional talent, he was deemed too small to carry the then compulsory 11st minimum weight.
Bounce’s mum is out of a mare called Hornbeams Harmony who Tracy competed as a teenager at Elementary dressage level, including at the Pony Club Championships, and was also a successful Show hunter pony regularly in the ribbons at county shows and had a fantastic jump. Bounce’s relations are all straightforward individuals that enjoy competing and have a good work ethic,both parents and 2 siblings can be seen.
Bounce is happy to live in or out, he has wintered out in the past with a rug on and ad lib hay. He is used to travelling as most competitions are at least 2 hours for us; he loads first time into a lorry or trailer and is happy to travel with a companion and on his own, he stands on the lorry quietly on his own and is happy to tie up outside. He hacks on roads and is not fazed by traffic.
At Llys Lew Stud we specialise in breeding top competition ponies and horses, keeping the best foals and training and competing them until we fully understand their individual potential. All of our ponies and horses are personally backed, trained and competed by Tracy, who is a highly experienced dressage rider at all levels, trainer and British Dressage UKCC Level 2 coach.
You can be confident when you buy a Llys Lew bred horse or pony from us; they run free with the herd in 20 acre paddocks for the first 3 years and are then gradually introduced to work, being sympathetically backed and trained at a pace to suit individual ability and development. All our own bred stock has a known history from birth, as a competition yard we pay close attention to all aspects of development and wellbeing, including tack, feet, feed, grazing and even muscular development with regular visits from an equine massage specialist.
We would like to Bounce go to a competition home where his potential will be fulfilled. Serious enquires only please.
