I bought Bluey from his breeder at weaning hoping he would be my next riding horse to bring on behind my current hunter/ team chaser.
But even though he still has some maturing to do, Blue is not going to finish as big as I had hoped, so he ls looking for a new home with a smaller rider. Blue is totally gorgeous to look at, just the best colour, and no white socks so always looks clean! He truly is an eye catcher.
He has grown up on our farm on Exmoor being fed bales with tractors, having the barns mucked out with skid steers, and the sheep in his field checked with quads, so he is totally used to all sorts of machinery, noise, other animals, kids, dogs etc. He has been moved from summer to winter grazing in both trailer & lorry and has never minded being transported.
He is a kind and willing character, a little slow to mature, but I would prefer that to having them overdone and putting stress on their joints. He's just a fabulous blank canvas really.
In the school Bluey has shown to have a huge natural jump (we have only loose schooled him once in his life, for these pictures) and he has lovely movement. He could well go on to event or potentially even do pure dressage.
We have lightly backed him, and are hacking him occasionally around the lanes. He has not yet been asked to do circles or jump under saddle, but he is willing and sweet natured and will soon come to being a lovely riding horse given more time and training.
He has never bucked or reared throughout the backing process, and all his work has been really positive, so we feel he is at a great place for a competent rider to take over and start training him properly.
We are on Exmoor on the Devon / Somerset borders but we can deliver anywhere in UK.
