OATY – 15.2hh, 6yo TB Gelding - Lovely All-Rounder / ROR Potential / Hacking Star
Oaty is a handsome, well-mannered 15.2hh, 6-year-old Thoroughbred gelding who has been with me for the past three years since retiring sound from a brief flat racing career (just five starts—he simply wasn’t quick enough!).
Since then, he’s been brought on slowly and carefully, with a focus on hacking and enjoying a varied, relaxed lifestyle. He hacks alone or in company, is very genuine, and clearly enjoys his time out and about. He’s also had some light schooling and is showing a willing attitude. While still a little green in the school, he learns quickly and would come on beautifully with consistent work. He’s done some polework and popped a small fence or two, so could easily be developed into a nice little jumper.
Last year, Oaty attended his first in-hand ROR show, where he won both his class and the Championship, behaving impeccably throughout. He clearly has plenty more potential in this sphere for someone wanting to do low-level showing or ROR classes.
Oaty is a pleasure to have on the yard—kind, friendly, and easy to handle. He’s excellent to catch, load, shoe, clip, and is good in traffic. He’s currently turned out in a small herd and is sociable and respectful with others. He’ll happily live in or out, depending on routine. Teeth, vaccinations, worming, etc., are all up to date.
He would suit a confident, sympathetic rider looking to enjoy a fun, low-pressure project with huge potential. While he is very kind and safe, he is still a little green, so he’s not suited to a complete novice. He would thrive in a one-to-one home or as a mother-daughter share.
Oaty is sound and in regular work. He does have some minor, manageable medical history which is fully disclosed to serious buyers and reflected in his price. With good shoeing and care, it has never affected his soundness or work.
Genuine reason for sale due to time constraints with work and family—this is a heartbreaking decision and the right home is a priority.
Quality tack available by separate negotiation.
