In 2017 Star was part of the bronze medal winning team & in 2018 where the team came 4th.
Prior to this Star was direct reserve in 2014 & 2015 with Rebecca Bell.
So far in his career he’s represented GB at 19 internationals with many top 3 placings
The Ultimate proven schoolmaster with many more miles in the tank who still has much more to give and the ability for even better scores.

We have owned Star for 3 years and he has taken Megan from competing at Novice level to European championships in this time with their first international only 6 months after she started riding him.
Star loves to work and always gives his all, he enjoys hacking and popping over a few jumps, and is a poppet around the stables being trusting and loving.
He is the most straight forward genuine pony. Completely sane, sensible and safe both at home and away which makes him more than suitable for a smaller less experienced ambitious child wanting to learn the ropes and achieve great results or equally is fit and ready to take another child straight to international success.
He travels brilliantly whether it be a local show or travelling for several days. Comes off the lorry just the same, never sharp or silly and has competed in some huge atmospheres taking them all in his stride.
He has become a hugely important part of our family having given us so much and we want him to go to a home where he can take another child all the way in a loving, caring environment.
Only for sale as this is Megan’s last year on ponies.
Realistically priced at £65,000 as home is incredibly important - Located North Oxfordshire
