Shabby is a 3yo buckskin gelding currently standing around 15.1hh to mature approx 15.3/16hh. Shabby really is the 3yo everyone is looking for, and cannot find as a 5yo.
Shabby is a very correct model with excellent conformation, limbs and feet with a bit of bone to give him enough substance whilst still being sporty. He has great presence and perfectly brings together the strengths of both native and warm blood that means he could happily live out and won't melt in the rain. Shabby has a fantastic, user-friendly temperament with a kind, gentle presence and loves human company. He has lived in a mixed herd his whole life, apart from when stabled, and is very well socialised, playing well with others. He has the movement, athleticism and breeding to be competitive in BE, BS and BD and the temperament and trainability to do it on weekends from his owner's back garden.
Shabby is a lovely mover with plenty of action. He covers the ground well and catches the eye. Has loose jumped only a handful of times and shows lovely technique with a tidy front end and a desire to clear the poles. He is clever with his feet and very trainable with plenty of potential to work with and climb the levels either showjumping or eventing. Shabby has seen traffic and farm equipment and is generally bold in nature when dealing with new things.
Shabby has the most fantastic temperament. He is friendly, curious, kind and loves being played with. Shabby would quite happily stand there all day and just lick you from head to toe if you'd let him! He is super trainable and very willing to learn. He has lived out unrugged in a mixed herd but will also happily be stabled, he has settled everywhere we've put him. He ties up on the yard and leaves his friends to work without issue. He has worn tack and been sat on - a complete job that took a total of 20 minutes! He was completely unphased by the whole thing and we think he will be very straightforward to do.
By the super popular and versatile Ynyslyns Orlando, a prolific producer of quality youngstock with exceptional temperaments and versatility. Out of Irina, a Dutch Warmblood from a proven performance damline including maternal siblings competing in dressage, showjumping and eventing up to 3*. Irina's 2 oldest offspring are competing in showjumping in Holland and Poland. Her 2025 foal was sold at a day old.
Shabby really will be someone's horse of a lifetime and is exactly the kind of horse we set out to breed. For the right person he will be your best friend and take you anywhere you want to go, whether it's competing in a national final in the sport of your choice, attending training camps or hacking out with the kids on the weekends. Shabby does not melt in the rain, has good solid Welsh feet that you can shoe or not, can live most of the year on nothing but good grass and isn't likely to lose his head if you can't ride for a couple of weeks because life has taken over.
