Extremely attractive Riding Pony Gelding (2001) now competing very successfully under saddle. The half-brother to the multi-Champion Baron of Mikani. Loads of presence to attract the judges eye.
In his first outing this season Count was Champion Open Saddle Pony in the first ring at Yea Agricultural Show held in late November 2006.
In the 2005 Season he had a very successful debut as an open pony with only limited showing.
This pony is now ready for a new home and should be suitable for an experienced child rider.

Nicole and Michael competing at the Yarra Valley Polo Club tournament in March 2013. Michael is riding Chelsea; purchased from Warwick Steen in Queensland. This was her first match after a terrible accident in early December 2012 from which the Mikani team did not think she would recover. We are looking forward to her improving in the 2013/14 season.
