TONY - showjumper/eventer
This is going to be a very honest advert of an absolutely amazing horse who has proven to just be too much for a young, amateur showjumper like myself.
Tony is an 11 year old 17.2hh Oldenburg gelding. He has previously jumped up to 1.30 but is more competitive around 1.20-1.25. Anything you point this horse at he will take it on. He has a heart of gold and is the easiest horse to do in every way possible. He loads first time, every time, he stands still for the farrier, falls asleep while clipping and is just in general the most affectionate horse going, a true gentle giant. Tony’s flatwork is stunning, his paces are floaty, he auto changes, anything you think he does. Tony would most certainly suit a showjumping/eventing home as he ticks all boxes to excel in those regions. He is seriously quick, has a huge powerful jump, and he can quite literally go ALL day and will never tire!
All this being said Tony has some quirks that make him unsuitable for a young or inexperienced rider. When jumping Tony gets very strong. No gadget will change him, this is just his way of going, and if you’ve got the confidence to just sit and point him, you’ll most certainly get along with him. There is no telling when he will have one of his strong moments, as sometimes you can jump him around and he will go perfect, but sometimes he just wants to go and that’s that. Tony has never bucked or reared or had any nasty moments, it’s just him being so strong that makes him unsuited to inexperienced riders.
A little bit about Tony and I… I bought Tony when I was a 16 year old moving onto horses. I wanted to move up the levels and gain more competition experience. As I just moved off ponies, Tony was not the right horse for me as he is just too big and too powerful for a small girl. I ended up having a bad fall in my first competition with him and I lost pretty much all my confidence. After a few months we moved yards for some professional training, but I wasn’t getting any confidence back, so I decided to try and chill him out by giving him 6 months off in the field. This worked a dream and I bought him back to work in September last year. He had been hacking out on the roads, doing canter tracks, and even got confident enough to jump around some 1m - 1.25 fences. In late December early January this year, the yard I was at just didn’t have adequate space for him. So I made the decision to send him back to England to go in the field again. Tony is currently located in the south of England and will be sold from the field which reflects in his price. Tony will also not pass a vetting. This is simply because he had kissing spine surgery as a 4 year old and he has a very small scar on his lower wither. This being said it has never affected him, he’s not in any pain whatsoever, and is a very healthy, happy horse. I would love for Tony to go to a home where he will be just as loved by someone as much as we love him. He means the world to me but we just aren’t a match, which is truly heartbreaking.
I would love for Tony to find a home where he can enjoy life competing again, with a professional that can handle him. I also would like to make sure he will get turnout, as he is so much happier when he can have time to just be a horse! Absolutely no time wasters, this decision has been hard enough. The fact he is only suited to experienced home and will not pass a vetting is heavily reflected in his price, as this is a horse that will excel in anything. No dealers and no time wasters.
