Owner’s description of Tenny:  
Our gelding was gently backed in his fourth year and has become very dear to us. He is a clever pony that learns quickly and especially enjoys jumping, where he clearly finds his niche. He has never been ill, has no allergies or similar issues, and is barefoot (excellent hoof quality).  
He is always well-behaved during trimming, and traveling alone with him in the trailer is no problem.  

Tenny greets us with a joyful whinny when we arrive.  

Rider’s description of Tenny:  
I have had Tenny for just under three months. He is very eager to learn and willing to perform, easily accepting contact and leg aids. He moves comfortably and softly in all gaits and is particularly nice to sit in trot. His rhythm is steady, and he transitions smoothly between gaits, lengthening and shortening strides as needed.  

He responds well to jumping and clearly enjoys it. He already jumps consistently in gymnastics lines and performs good cavaletti work.  

He can go alone or in a group into the terrain. He is always manageable and can be ridden alone away from the other horses without issues. He is not spooky at all and is sure-footed.  

Besides me, he is occasionally ridden by an experienced 14-year-old rider who can easily follow the exercises I have worked out with him. My 8-year-old daughter, a beginner rider, also takes him for a few rounds in the arena. However, it is clear that a young child cannot handle him alone for long, as they lack the experience and influence to perform and develop his potential.  

Stable owner’s description of Tenny:  
Tenny is one of the most social and easygoing horses I have ever had in the stable. He avoids conflicts and is friendly and open. He has already been housed with stallions, mares, and geldings. Currently, he lives in a mixed pony herd and has found a best friend in our Konik gelding.  
In daily handling, he is always manageable, accepts a halter and lead rope without issues, and waits patiently whether for feeding or turnout. He can be left alone in the stable or on the pasture without becoming upset.  

Our wishes for his future:  
We are looking for an ambitious young rider who is sporty and capable of continuously challenging and developing him. His size makes him suitable for teenagers and adults alike, but he is definitely not a weight carrier. We are also not selling him as a pure children's pony, as a younger child would be overwhelmed by him alone.  

All mandatory competition vaccinations are recorded in his red passport, so he can start right away.  
A fitted all-round versatile saddle can be purchased with him.  

We are looking for a loving partner who sees him not as a sports machine but as a companion.
