Romeo is a lovely, kind-hearted boy looking for his genuine 5* forever home. He is affectionate, easy-going and thrives on a one-to-one partnership. A real people horse who loves fuss, cuddles and attention.
Retired from racing sound 3 years ago and has been with me ever since. Sadly for sale due to work commitments changing.
Riding and Hacking: he is a straightforward, relaxed, non spooky and safe ride. Loves hacking alone or in company. Excellent in traffic, open spaces and around large farm machinery. Occasionally plants if he is suspicious, but takes confidence from his rider's encouragement and then forgets it. Snaffle-mouthed; enjoys a canter or gallop but always comes back politely. Sensible in groups and not fizzy when overtaken (fun rides). Happy to lead another horse.
Schooling Activities: have completely retrained him, works nicely on the flat, forms a nice shape and soft in the mouth, enjoys long-reining. Jumps up to 70cm in the school and would go bigger with more training (his full brother is owned by a top UK SJ). Has done XC and hunter trials, shows and competitions which he loves; done beach rides (very chilled), happy with water and braves 'scary' XC fences. Will suit a capable rider who can build his confidence and enjoy his honest enthusiasm - Romeo will give his heart to you!
Manners and management: good doer for a TB and economical to keep. Lives in or out but prefers some turnout year round, good with other horses. Easy to catch, perfect to load, travels well, stands calmly by the box. No vices; good to shoe, clip, dentist and vet. Front pads every 4 to 5 shoeings due to shallow hooves; can get mud-scabs if unprotected in winter. Teeth, vaccinations and worming up to date.
Romeo is a much-loved horse and it's taken me a long time to come to this decision as he is such a good person; I don't want him passed around. Knowledgeable, long-term home only. No dealers or canvassers.
