Classy, 2011 Warmblood bay gelding standing at 17.2HH. This chap has been there, done it and got 7 T-shirts.

A seasoned hunter who will cross any country, as scopey and as brave as they come, an expert over a hedge, rail or ditch, he’s hunt fit, has been out all season.

Aladdin previously did showing in his younger days, he then got a field blemish on his hind fetlock meaning he then went on to do riding club, showjumping, XC and hunting.

He is schooled to perfection with extremely comfortable paces, and would easily do a dressage job, he’s very safe, rideable and uncomplicated. He’s a chilled out and laid back type, will hack all day on his own or with others on the buckle, just a complete gentleman, even in the most heavy of traffic.

Aladdin is a kind horse on the ground, mannerly to handle and do. He will jump the moon and gives you 10 out of 10 every time. Not just a seasoned hunter but a brilliant allrounder.
