✨🤎 SONIC THE UNICORN EVERYONE IS SEARCHING FOR 🤎✨
10 years old | 16.1/16.2hh | Bay Thoroughbred Gelding | Herefordshire
A chunky, good-doing Thoroughbred with a genuine brain, an enormous amount of experience and the ability to be both your best friend and a seriously fun competition horse.
Sonic is not your typical Thoroughbred. He is substantial, handsome, incredibly versatile and has an extensive portfolio behind him.
He has hunted, hound exercised, evented, showjumped, done XC, fun rides, dressage and miles of hacking, both alone and in company. He hacks on the buckle, leads our breakers and is ridden by numerous different riders here.
He is currently jumping 90cm, rarely touches a pole and never says no. He is more than ready to step up to 1m, while his dressage scores regularly sit around the 70% mark and he is ready to contest Novice tests.
He absolutely LOVES his jumping. Give him a job and you see him light up. 🔥
🤎 FULL TRANSPARENCY
Sonic came back to us around four weeks ago after simply not settling in his new home.
Since returning, we have put him through our assessments again and taken him back out into numerous different environments — and he has been completely his normal self.
Sometimes a horse and rider simply aren’t the right match. It doesn’t necessarily mean there is anything wrong with either of them.
With Sonic, you tend to know very quickly whether he clicks with a rider.
He needs someone experienced, sympathetic and kind who will build a relationship with him rather than try to bully or rough-handle him. Give him that partnership, plenty of turnout, consistent work and a job to enjoy, and you get the Sonic that we all absolutely adore.
He is fit, ready to go and doesn’t need somebody to spend months getting him going — he needs somebody to go and ENJOY him.
And because I want his advert to be completely transparent: yes, Sonic can have a spook. Every horse can, but it’s being said so there are absolutely no surprises.
He is enthusiastic and loves life, so although he is straightforward and ridden by a variety of people here, he is not being advertised as a novice ride. He deserves a competent, experienced rider who appreciates a horse with some blood, personality and enthusiasm.
His attitude is what makes him so special:
✨ Genuine and willing
✨ Bold and brave to a fence
✨ Loves having a job
✨ Hacks alone & in company
✨ Hunting experience
✨ XC & low-level eventing experience
✨ Consistent in different environments
✨ Fit and ready to go
✨ No injuries or vices
He can be the horse who hacks along happily on the buckle one day and comes alive as a proper competition horse when you ask the next.
Sonic genuinely is one of my absolute favourites on the yard, and he is also the firm favourite of one of our 14-year-old riders. That probably says more about his character than I ever could. 🥹🤎
I am in absolutely no rush with this horse. His next home needs to be the right one: somewhere he will be adored, understood, kept busy and allowed to build a proper bond with his person.
He has so much to give the right rider.
Come, ride him, spend some time with him and see whether you’re his person. 🤎
