16’1 rising 8yo Bay gelding
Bred by the brilliant Sir shutterfly.
Diego is our Homebred, so it makes this decision even harder!!
Diego has been very slowly produced, having 3 lovely comfortable gaits, I could ride him all day long. Id say he is more like a 5yo as we have allowed him time to grow into himself and not be pushed at a young age while he is growing!
Diego has had a gentle work lifestyle throughout his younger years where he has been allowed to grow correctly into himself, he has had a successful time at a few shows, clinics, camps, fun rides, beach rides, arena hires, dressage & XC hire.
Time hasn’t always allowed time to put into him of the recent year and now he really needs to start getting out there to build his confidence within himself.
The only reason why Im selling him, is because I’be just got married and moving away with my husband who’s in the military, so we will be moving around a lot.
For the past 6 months he has been on loan at the yard to a young less confident adult, where she has done mainly low key schooling and hacking.
Diego is a very talented young man, he is like his mother and is very consistent within his movement, he would make a fabulous eventer that he is bred for, pure dressage or abit of everything. A real good all rounder.
I’d just love someone to enjoy him and love him, he is very kind and gentle, he would never ever hurt you, he has a big heart.
The type of rider I would be looking for for him is a kind and sympathetic experienced rider, as although Diego is safe he can be a bit anxious at times and can look for quiet reassurance from his rider, I feel this is just because his lifestyle has always been a bit here and there, so the consistency of work, going places etc he will grow within himself. He can be moulded into what you’d like.
He has in the past when he was younger rear slightly, this was more because he was maybe feeling insecure within himself, but despite this, my mother who isn;t the most confident of riders would get on him even after a week or two off and feel very comfortable just to get back on him again and feel completely safe. He would never ever do anything to unseat his rider.
He has lovely clean limbs and beautifully put together. Touchwood, he has never had a days lameness.
Good to clip, shoe, catch etc
Up to date with all vaccinations, teeth, and always have regular Mctimony and physio sessions as a standard treatment.
