2019 Buckskin German Riding Pony Gelding
145 cm | FEI Pony Prospect
Coconut Commotion Q, affectionately known as “The Coconut,” is a handsome 2019 buckskin German Riding Pony gelding. With his dressage type, quality movement, and personable temperament, Coconut will be a fun pony to take up the levels.
He is by the German Riding Pony stallion FS Coconut Dream, whose sire FS Coco Jambo was the Westfalen Champion and three-time National Champion Stallion, while his dam, Dark Magic is a German Champion mare and Bundeschampionesse.
Coconut Commotion Q is out of a Makuba Rhinelander mare. Makuba is well-known as a sire who has shared his temperament, brain, and good looks with the offspring of mares of various breeds. Makuba competed up to Intermediaire 1 dressage, before shifting to a successful second career as a driving competitor.
Coconut received 8’s for his walk and canter at his Westfalen inspection. He loves to work and is quite sociable, which makes him enjoyable to ride and promising for continued development through the levels.
He has already begun building a successful show record. Coconut has competed at several schooling shows and made his recognized show debut in October, competing at Training Level Test 2 and Test 3, where his lowest score of the weekend was an impressive 70%. (and that was in 32 degrees with 30+ mph winds!)
Beyond the arena, Coconut has proven to be sensible and versatile. He has been ridden in state parks, open fields, and on the road, confidently crosses water, and is comfortable around wildlife. While based in Iowa, he met deer, turkeys, and pheasants in the fields, and during the winter season in Florida, he is unfazed by squirrels, peacocks, and iguanas.
While he is not typically hot or spooky, Coconut is still a young pony (coming 7) and will benefit from continuing his development within a professional training program experienced in producing young horses up the levels. He would be a wonderful partner for an ambitious Junior or Young Rider aiming toward the FEI pony divisions, or for an adult amateur working in a quality program.
The FAQ’s:
“Why is he for sale?”
My business plan involves breeding, raising, starting, and training ponies to become well-socialized, happy partners for adult amateurs and kids.
“What does he eat?”
1 # Purina Enrich + Vitamin E + electrolytes + 2 cups alfalfa pellets
Free choice grass hay
“What are his living arrangements?”
Outside 24/7, as much as possible, weather dependent. Pastured with other geldings at home. Has a single paddock near friends in Florida. Still young, so he likes to play on occasion.
“Does he have any vices – cribbing, chewing, biting, etc.?”
None of the above. He may paw in the cross-ties on occasion, but that is remedied with a short correction.
“Is he up-to-date on teeth, deworming, vaccinations, Coggins, etc.?”
Yes. All of the above.
“Any lameness or illnesses in the past?”
No.
“How are his feet? Does he wear shoes?”
Good feet and legs are a top priority for my breeding program (my dad is my farrier), so yes, he has good feet. He has shoes on while in Florida, but most of the year he is barefoot or just has front shoes on for going on the trails.
“How much are you asking?”
Four six, zero zero zero – negotiable if he goes back North on your trailer instead of mine!
“Do you have video?”
Yes – Please PM me!
