Flight to Australia force the sale of a much loved horse.
Time Bandit is an athletic, well put together horse who has competed with confidence in eventing, showjumping, dressage and showing.
He moves and jumps well, with an exceptional walk and uphill canter.
I have predominantly evented Percy at BE90 & BE100, if I could use a stop watch I could say with great success! Before I fly I have a few BE100s lined up however, I believe Percy has the quality to go much further than this. He is brave and fast xc never having a jumping fault. So would be handy at Team Chasing.
We have also dabbled in showjumping and showing, jumping up to discovery on a ticket getting one rider error pole. And receiving great feedback from showing judges who all have really liked him.
Last year he qualified for the ROR championship and was one place away from qualifying for the Rising Stars Racehorse to Riding Horse Championship at London International - if I put more time into this discipline we could have gone to some cool places I’m sure.
Percy raced over hurdles before I purchased him in October 2022 straight after his last race, injury free. Whilst I was focusing on my final year of University (2024) he went to a retired 5* event rider for some schooling and this has really improved his way of going.
He hacks out alone or in company, and jumps around the farm. Always snaffled mouthed.
Is an absolute gentleman on the ground, perfect to clip, shoe, travel etc. I have taken him places by myself and he’s easy.
He’s feet are good, I think he’s lost one shoe in the three years I’ve had him!
Even though I have flights booked I am in no rush to sell him. He is my best friend and a family pet. I am in tears writing this advert however he deserves to be kept busy and not be a field ornament.
Also apologies for the lack of Photos, I don’t really have many! But can send videos on request.
