Artie is a 2024 Pure Bred Dales Pony, will register section B due to small amount of white on front left. Shedding out as Black, with tiny patches of white on three feet that should not be visible when his feathers grow out. While Artie will not qualify as a DPS licensed stallion, he is going to be either an awesome gelding, or an amazing Sport Pony stallion. He has the smoothest movement, will canter nearly in place next to me as I walk through the pasture, and is fluid and graceful. In his spare time, he enjoys herding the chickens and barn cat, playing with his herd mates, playing chicken bowling, playing in the sprinkler, and loves attention from humans. He will walk away from grain if he can get extra pets and cratches.
His movement shows strong potential as a dressage pony in the future, he jumps over anything he can find, and with the flexibility and versatility of the Dales Pony breed, he has the potential to succeed in nearly any field desired.
Artie has age-appropriate training – stands tied, picks up feet, leads, and has been introduced to things like an electric wheelchair, balls, hula hoop, umbrellas, tarps, plastic bags and balloons (no big deal on any of them). Artie will sell with a contract ensuring right of first refusal if he is placed back on the market, and a safe harbor agreement that in the event any future owner can no longer care for him or no longer wants him, for any reason, Artie can return to Shiloh Traditions for a safe, permanent retirement at no cost to his owner.
Artie is also eligible throughout his life time for any owner to apply for a grant from Shiloh Traditions to contribute towards costs for activities where he is used to educate the public about Dales Ponies. If you are looking for a matched team, when he matures Artie will be perfectly matched to his half-brother, Shiloh Traditions Fantastix (Felix) also listed here.
