Goose is a smart, loving and competitive gelding by Bahrain Cruise x Maltstriker. I’ve owned him since he was 3 years old and he is a much-loved horse, now looking for his next person to enjoy and continue his success with.
He has had a fantastic start to the 2026 season, winning his first two ODEs on his dressage scores of 22 and 29, qualifying for the Riding Club National Championships, and most recently adding another win at unaffiliated showjumping. He also finished 3rd with a double clear in arena eventing and is ready to continue progressing through the levels.
To date, Goose has competed and won at 90 level, with numerous top 10 placings and double clears at BE80 and BE90. He has also won at Prelim dressage, enjoyed success in hunter trials, and has multiple wins and placings at unaffiliated showjumping.
Goose has successfully competed in British Eventing, Riding Club teams, hunter trials, showjumping, dressage, clinics and camps. Talented across all three phases, he is equally suited to eventing, pure dressage or Riding Club activities. He has three balanced paces, a neat, scopey jump and is bold, genuine and rhythmical cross-country.
He hacks alone and in company, is good in traffic and enjoys getting out and about. He is a lovely horse to have around with a friendly, affectionate and people-orientated nature. Easy to load, travel, clip and shoe, he lives in or out, turns out happily with others and is a good doer. Regularly handled by teenagers, and non-horsey family members.
Whilst Goose has been ridden and enjoyed by amateurs, he is not a novice ride. Although he’s absolutely never nasty, he can be sensitive and genuinely wants to please. He thrives on building a partnership and would suit a competent, confident rider looking to enjoy and succeed in grassroots eventing, Riding Club, dressage or as a quality all-round competition horse. He would equally suit a knowledgeable family home or competent older teenager.
Goose has previous veterinary history which has been fully treated and is reflected in his price. He has no ongoing treatment, management requirements or limitations to his work and has maintained a consistent competition record since. Full disclosure will be provided to genuinely interested parties.
This is a heartbreaking decision and finding the right home is far more important than a quick sale. Goose is a very special horse who deserves a home where he will be loved, appreciated and enjoyed.
