George has been with me for the last 5 years, and I backed him myself so know him inside out. He is a lovely horse with plenty of potential and would really excel in the show ring with the right person. Would be a great contender for the opens next season.
What he has done:
• Pops a course
• Has been on several XC hires
• Loves the beach
• Good to hack in company
• Will hack with someone on foot/cycling alongside
• Has been to a handful of shows and has proven to do well
George can be a little nappy in the workers ring as he likes company and can want to head back towards the gate (has only done 2/3 attempts). He needs reassurance, but will try for his rider. He is a horse who does best with someone who is confident and consistent.
George is still maturing mentally and physically, but he has improved year on year. He can be left for weeks and ridden as though he was ridden yesterday.
He has carried a tiny rider who he looked after very well and has also been ridden by less confident/experienced riders. However, can sometimes test his rider so i feel he would be best suited to someone with some experience who can be kind but firm and give him the reassurance and consistency he needs.
He is a genuine, willing horse who will try for you when he trusts you.
George currently travels alone in a single trailer. He can sometimes be unsure when loading, particularly away from home, and may stand on the ramp and take his time before loading. He is not dangerous or silly, and will load for food without getting stressed.
He loads much better at home, and I feel this is something that would continue to improve with regular practice and experience. I think he would also be happier travelling in company, as I don’t currently leave him standing alone on the trailer.
• Excellent for the farrier — currently barefoot
• Good to clip
• Good to catch
• Lovely in the stable — enjoys being groomed and fussed over
• Will stand in for a few days without making a fuss
• Will stand to be washed with a bucket
• Needs company in the field and is happiest turned out with a few other horses
• Can fence-walk occasionally when grass is sparse or when he wants to come in
George can get mild sweet itch during the summer, but this is manageable with the correct rug and spray. He has not suffered with it at our current yard this summer.
Up to date with vaccinations and dentist. He has never given me any problems for the vet and has no history of injuries.
