ROCCO
15.2hh | 5-Year-Old | Black Irish Cob Gelding
Due to genuine personal circumstances, Rocco is sadly looking for a new home. This is through absolutely no fault of his own, and he will only be sold to the very best home.
Rocco is a genuine, kind horse with a fantastic attitude to work. He is always willing to please and tries his best in everything he does. He takes confidence from his rider, so he is best suited to someone who can provide reassurance, continue his education, and help him reach his full potential.
For this reason, Rocco is not suitable for a novice rider or someone looking for a “kick-along” type. In the right hands, he has all the ability to excel in any discipline and would make an outstanding all-round horse.
Rocco was professionally backed at the start of last winter before being turned away to mature. He returned to work in March and has been riding away consistently ever since. Despite his young age, he has taken everything in his stride and continues to impress with his willing attitude and sensible nature.
Since coming back into work, he has enjoyed beach rides, cross-country schooling, flatwork and plenty of hacking. He is very good in open spaces and, although he may be a little more forward in completely new environments, there is never anything silly or naughty about him. He has a lovely, level-headed temperament and always tries his best.
He is also incredibly genuine to ride after time off. He recently had several days off during the hot weather and came straight back into work without any fuss, making him an easy horse to fit around a busy lifestyle.
On the ground, Rocco is a pleasure to have around. He has lovely stable manners and is easy to handle in all respects.
Rocco is:
* Good to catch
* Good to load
* Good for the farrier (currently wears front shoes with trimmed hind feet)
* Well-mannered on the ground and in the stable
* Easy to do in all ways
* Up to date with vaccinations, dentist and farrier
* Free from lumps, bumps, blemishes, sarcoids or vices
* Recently passed a full 5-stage vetting with no issues
Unfortunately, his breeding is unknown.
Rocco has all the ingredients to make an exceptional all-round horse for someone wanting a genuine young horse to continue producing. He has a fantastic brain, a kind nature and a real willingness to learn, making him an exciting prospect for the future.
