I brough this chap 1 year ago as I did not have much money
He is an ex-point to point racehorse who has a Eatherby's passport, who was mis-treated at some point in his career and has really suffered becuase of it
Saying that he is excellent to do on the ground, show, box and clip but he needs time that I have not got
He was sold to me as being slightly cold backed (he has been known to go down randomly after the saddle has been put on but not every time) but he was in regular work at the time and this was not an issue
I have also learnt that you cannot get on him in the conventional way - I have to vault on from the floor, so needs someone agile if he was going to be brought back into work - A competent teeneager would be ideal
Once you are on board he is willing and learns fast and also has a lovely jump
I hunted him a few times last season and he was brilliant. I fell ill last November and he was therefore turned out for the winter - Basically this would be like starting again
He needs time and patience, however it is the time that I have not got
This is a heartbreaking sale as this is a chap who really needs some love - Because of the fact that he is excellent once you are on board (although it would take a little time to get that way again) and he is actually completely bomb proof out having, he is priced accordingly
Because of is currently out of work I am selling him as firstly a companion, but if a willing new owner had the time and patience to give him, he would be excellent under saddle again in the future
I need a quick sale so am open to sensible offers
