Congratulations Jodie Stoos on your purchase of Al!!! I believe he will be quite content in your collection of fabulous animals! Can't wait to see him hooked up and carting you around! We could be more pleased with his luck in finding such a wonderful new home!

Al Capony

13 year old 11.3 hand, Paint Pony Gelding

Everyone just falls in love with this adorable, safe, easy going, pony. He is broke for w/t/c, cross rails and small jumps, he gets his leads, he has done lessons, parades, horse shows, therapy for handicapped children & is trained to pull a cart. He is very safe, friendly, quiet and healthy. Loads easy, bathes and is great for Vet and farrier. He has great feet and is an easy keeper. He has no vices. Ponies like Al are really hard to come by. He LOVES to trail ride with a group of Big Horses too!!

Al is what I consider to be a schoolmaster, he is well trained and knows his stuff, I would prefer to find a home with a child that knows how to ride already. This pony has been an awesome teacher over the years but now he deserves an equally talented rider to take him and bring out the best in him. He is well schooled and appreciates a rider that understands basic cues. He tends to not be particularly generous if you are not giving the right signals. In that way, I think he makes you a better rider, because he makes you do it *right* before you get results. He is safe for beginner and is pretty patient and tolerant but is confused and frustrated by rough or inconsistent cueing, he never does anything mean but he will retreat to his safe place (the gate). He is trained English, but will go western too and is fairly simple to ride. He rides with two hands, opening, direct or indirect rein, understands the leg, seat and voice as aids, moves off with a squeeze. He does not neck rein. At the very least we like to find a home for him where the child is in riding lessons and under the supervision of an adult.

He would be a perfect addition to a horse family with children who want to trail ride with Mom and Dad. He is very easy for small kids to handle on the trail and this is his favorite thing to do. He also likes to take jumps along the trail or in the field. He has taken lots of our small (6 and up) riders on the trails and is getting ready to begin riding in the Western Carolina Hunter Pace Series.

I do not really believe in Bombproof horses, because after all they are horses, but if there is such a thing, he may be it. In all the time we have owned him I have never seen him spook or do anything silly. He is not hot or nervous. He is a very solid, sensible pony. He is the same pony every day.
