Finding bombproof ponies for sale which have been well trained, are excellent in traffic, are generally non spooky and have the ability and experience to help a child rider learn, perfect their riding skills and help them gain in confidence can be a difficult task but at Right Horse Right Home we make this job a great deal easier with the special search filters we provide such as “good to hack alone”, “good with noisy vehicles”, “suitable for a novice” etc. Bombproof ponies should also be safe and sensible when going to new venues, pony club and generally be well mannered.

‘Bombproof’ in the literal sense means a bomb could go off next to the pony and it wouldn’t even flinch. This translates in the real world to a safe, sensible pony who doesn’t spook unnecessarily; has been exposed to enough new situations and sensory stimuli with the help and guidance of a good trainer that they are able to cope with ‘scary’ situations.

Children can benefit from riding  bombproof ponies because it means they can learn and enjoy riding without being intimidated by the pony in any way.  Ponies that are bombproof are safer because they are not reactive and extremely sought after.

Most bombproof ponies are likely to be older which is why they are so sensible, with age comes wisdom. They can be any breed from Connemara Ponies to Cobs. They should come into their own when out hacking. They should be ‘good with large, noisy vehicles’, ‘good to hack alone’ and good with a variety of different traffic from livestock to motorbikes.
