Douglas
15.3hh approx
5yro (2021) grey ISH gelding, good bone and conformation, clean limbed.
Hard sale of a much loved yard favourite because of his fantastic personality!!
Douglas has been a pleasure to keep and educate after arriving from Ireland unbroken and will be so missed. He has not put a foot out of place since owning him and has loved learning new things and gaining experience. Good with dogs and small children on a busy and active yard.
Taking well to the breaking process early this year and loving ridden life currently, ‘Dougie’ is now ready to find his new home. Douglas hacks alone and in company well over different terrain and loves a dip in the local river. Proving to be very sensible in all forms of traffic on narrow country lanes. Happy to go in front or behind, not strong or silly. More whoah than go, goes well with an encouraging rider.
Has been ridden by a variety of riders as he has a lovely quiet nature but would excel with a confident rider who can bring the best out of him.
Ridden at all times in a snaffle he is coming along nicely in the school with the basics, walk, trot and canter on both reins. Also introduced to jumping, Douglas has a good spring over a fence matching with his pedigree which have proven jumpers.
On the ground, Douglas loves to be fussed and scratched, the video really does speak for itself in that he is very trusting when ridden to ‘mess’ around with and have fun! He has a very playful character that will make you smile always. Easy to keep, learning ground manners. Turned out currently but has been stabled, happy in every environment.
Good to shoe, load and travel and has been clipped.
Up to date with wormer, vaccs and dentist.
Douglas is looking for someone who will be able to further his education, a rider who is able to use their leg and keep him forward while he is learning as he does have a chilled outlook on life.
Competency on the ground is also required as Douglas loves his food and is still learning his boundaries and manners.
We would LOVE to see Douglas go to a fun and full life of variety, where he can do more activities and have a chance to progress in his jumping and other disciplines etc. He has so much to give and to have such a brilliant character in a young horse who is also capable - is a special find.
Open to vetting and viewings welcome.
