“Waylon” Ramblin’ Man

2020 14.1hh Red Roan QH-Welsh cross Gelding

Waylon is balanced, talented, fun, and ready to have an incredible career.

Currently in a classical dressage and jumping program, he is soaring through the foundations (and some more advanced concepts) with ease. He is powerful and floaty in a small package.

Waylon is easy to handle, and has a great mind. He absorbs new information like a sponge, and is always ready and willing to learn.

Currently, Waylon is jumping 2’3”-1m courses and combinations (with oxers) with a rider and lungeing over 1.10m+, and has a clean lead change both directions. He is also schooling leg yield, shoulder-in, haunches-in walk pirouettes, and rein back. He works in-hand and on the longlines very well, and seems to enjoy it immensely.

Waylon has a big, swinging walk, a floaty trot, and balanced canter. He is adjustable and willing. He is correct and uses his back over fences. He also drives naturally from behind and has an excellent hind leg.

He would be suited for a capable AA or JR/YR in a program or a professional who wants a special young pony to develop.

He would excel in the pony hunters, pony jumpers, eventing, or dressage.

Waylon loves to trail ride and ponies well off of other horses.

He has been extensively desensitized and doesn’t have much of a spook. His emotional control is impressive and beyond what is expected of a pony his age.

He loads, clips, bathes, and stands well for the farrier and vet.

He recently schooled off property at a local show and never spooked! He was engaged with everyone around him.
