A lovely pony with show ring presence to burn. This darling boy comes from a family of champions. His full sister Salisbury Suspicious Love is a multi Supreme Champion in hand and royal blue ribbon winner already under saddle in her newcomer year.

He placed mid field in all tests and shows good promise.
Minty last measured 13.2hh and is rising 6yo. Registered Riding Pony, Part Welsh, SHC, EFA and eligible Arabian Riding Pony.
His movement is just gorgeous, he has a lovely length of stride, transitions are good and established. He spent 6 weeks with Brioney Payne Christmas/New Year 2006 and Brioney said he would make a lovely child's show pony. He has been ridden by riders of all ages and skill level. A truly delightful pony to own and handle.
What impresses me the most with him is his superb nature, he is the easiest pony to prepare and take to a show. Everyone that meets and gets to know him loves him.
