Introduction:
Craigston Mystic Spirit (“Joey”) is a quality, officially measured 14.2hh pony with a genuine competition record across EA, Pony Club and Interschool settings.

Education, skills and experience:
Joey has competed over the last 2+ years at Pony Club and EA events, including EV65–80, showjumping to 80cm, combined training 80cm and dressage at Preliminary level, with capability for Novice+. Since 2025, out of 7 EV65 starts, Joey has won three and was in the top 4 after dressage every time.

His varied education makes him an attractive option for a rider wanting a genuine, established pony with the ability to compete and the temperament to enjoy variety.
General demeanour under saddle:
Under saddle, Joey is willing, responsive and light in the bridle. He gives his rider a lovely, secure feeling, works with the rider and wants to please.
One of Joey’s strengths is that he adapts to the rider. He is tolerant of mistakes, steady with less experienced riders and able to step up with a more experienced partner. He has taken his current rider from a nervous 12-year-old junior to a confident 15-year-old competitive Interschool rider.
Joey is generally calm and reliable, while not completely unflappable. He is social and sensible at competitions, making him a great junior pony.
Current workload / fitness:
Joey is in work and ridden three or more times per week. He is currently competing and does not require daily riding to remain reliable and settled.
Handling:
Joey is easy to catch, leads willingly and is straightforward to clip. He is good for the farrier, is happy barefoot, and is straightforward for the vet.
