Ridge Park Highgrove Prince
Ridge Park Highgrove Prince AKA Charlie Brown 12yo gelding Registrations: EA, SHC, eligible Welsh Pony, Arabian Derivative Located SE QLD It is with great sadness that we have accepted our daughters legs are too long for our beautiful Charlie Brown and its time to find his next rider. Over the past 5 years, Charlie has taken our confident beginner to an established and accomplished rider. Charlie has been a superstar pony club mount and has excelled in the show ring but where Charlie really shines is in the dressage arena, with his exceptional movement. With his breeding, he looks and moves like a mini warmblood. We have jumped Charlie to 80cm and he has potential to go higher than this. Because of the wet weather, selling our property and our daughter growing too tall, Charlie has had limited outings over the past 2 years. Despite this and with no preparation, we took him to the SE QLD Interschool dressage championships in May 2025 and he easily placed 6th out of over 30 riders. He has the potential to go all the way in Pony Dressage for an ambitious rider/family. Charlie is a spirited pony who can throw the occasional pigroot, so he needs a confident rider who has a balanced seat. Charlie is an easy keeper and has never had any health or soundness issues. Although our daughter was a confident beginner rider when we got Charlie, she had a lot of experience riding our farm horses. We will not sell Charlie to a beginner due to his forward nature. Some of Charlies achievements are: EQ Showhorse - Supreme Champion Zone 15 - Reserve Champion Junior Hack Show Horse Association - Champion Zone 15 Flat riding Championships - Reserve Champion Northern NSW Show Horse Association SEQ Regional Interschool Dressage Championships - 6th place Pony Club Hi Point Dressage Rider - Runner up Zone 15 Dressage Championships - Reserve Champion Please let me know if you have further questions. For serious buyers, Charlie is available for viewing in Chambers Flat, QLD.
