Very sweet, good, curious and certainly sometimes
also stubborn Tinker for sale. Silky Pearly from the Ghent Tinkerhoeve. We call him Pearly.
Pearly is a 12 year old gelding of 1.40 who came to us when he was 9. We bought it for our daughter who was also 9 years old at the time. Our daughter has done absolutely everything with him over the past 3 years and he has given her a lot of confidence and joy. Dressage, jumping, outdoor rides, groundwork, scare training, working equitation, swimming, parelli, nothing is too crazy for him. Pearly especially likes variety and doing many different things, he is not a pony who excels enormously in one area (the level always remains at a certain base for him). We therefore do not see him as a type that should be used as a competition pony. By the way, he enjoys jumping and outdoor rides the most, he is 100% bombproof and gets very enthusiastic. Pearly jumps to about 80 cm. He has mastered the basics in dressage.
If you treat Pearly with respect, he will go through fire for you, he is good on strange terrain, he will never buck, rear or run away. Pearly is and remains a real Tinker, so he can sometimes be a bit stiff or strong, especially in the hand. If he really doesn’t feel like doing something, he won’t do it. This can be over the next day and then he will be the easiest pony there is again. You have to see the humor in this, he has a quirky but also curious character and that is what makes him so fun and pleasant to work with.
Pearly responds very well to the emotions and feelings of the rider, so an anxious rider does not suit him, he will immediately adopt and mirror this feeling. If you are calm and clear, then you have a fantastic pony in him, if you are sad, Pearly will come and stand by you!
Pearly was a real children’s pony with us, but also with his previous owners. This can only be done (especially in the beginning) under the supervision of an adult. Because you have to be consistent and clear with him and a child, this is not always possible. If he notices that you are too submissive, he will take advantage of that. Our daughter is currently at the point where she can do everything alone with him, she can read and write with him. A small adult who enjoys forest rides and tours with him would also suit him very well, he also enjoys doing ground work. Pearly is a strong pony with extremely good endurance.
Unfortunately, Pearly fares poorly on the trailer. We have put a lot of time and energy into it, but once on it he prefers to get out as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, he had an unpleasant experience at a young age that is difficult to overcome. Pearly does go on the truck, not with the greatest pleasure, but this is doable. If you want to travel a lot with him, we do not recommend buying Pearly because then it will be a disappointment.
Our daughter wants to continue in the sport, that is why we are looking for a new home for Pearly. It must be a place where it can enjoy being outdoors. He is currently also outside, in a small herd. He needs playmates and grazing, being indoors doesn’t suit him.
Pearly is in possession of an original Irish Cob passport, he has always been well maintained, his entire history is known, he has never suffered from mites or mites and healthy feet, he goes to the dentist every year, osteopath, once every 6 -8 weeks to the farrier and his vaccinations and deworming are also in order. We shave Pearly about once every 3 months, he also does this very well. Pearly is sold including its dressage saddle and bridle.
