⭐ 15.2hh Lusitano Gelding | 13yo | Experienced Home ⭐
A very hard sale of our much-loved family horse.
Our beautiful 13-year-old Lusitano gelding, standing at 15.2hh, is looking for a very special new home. Imported from Spain as a 4-year-old, he has been with us ever since and is a huge part of our family.
He is a real character who absolutely loves attention, people, children and farm life. He has been incredibly well-loved and is the sort of horse who will leave a big hole in your heart.
🌿 Hacking: This is where he really shines! He loves to hack and prefers to be up front. He will happily ride and lead, something I have regularly done with my little girl.
🏇 Schooling & and jumping: He has been out show-jumping schooling and loves to jump. He has lovely movement and would also have the potential to produce a beautiful dressage test.
Has just been enjoyed by us locally so we haven't tapped into any potential but we know its there.
He is 90% a quiet, enjoyable ride, but does have that 10% tendency to become quite hot-headed and on his toes although he is never dangerous, but this is something that comes with his breeding and means he would not suit a novice rider. He needs an experienced, confident rider who understands the breed and can appreciate his character.
He is fantastic in traffic and is good around farm machinery and general farm life. He is also:
- ✅ Good with the farrier
- ✅ Good to load
- ✅ Great in traffic
- ✅ Up to date with vaccinations and teeth
- ✅ Never been sick or sorry
- ✅ Good to clip
He always receives lots of compliments when we're out — he really is a stunning horse with presence and personality.
We would love to find him a one-to-one home where he will be loved and cherished as much as he has been here. He isn't being sold because he isn't loved; quite the opposite, which is what makes this such a difficult decision.
He would suit an experienced rider looking for a best friend, someone who wants to enjoy hacking, schooling, jumping and everything in between, while giving him the love and attention he deserves.
Serious enquiries only. A loving, experienced home is absolutely essential. ❤️
