Grey gelding, 16hh Irish sports horse, 17yrs old, experienced, clever, talented, amazing friend.
We’ve had Podge for 10 years and in that time he’s taken me through pony club, school team, BE up to novice. Been successful but most of all had fun and enjoyment as he is a solid horse. Loves his work, doesn’t get excited or agitated. Easy to load and travel. With an experienced rider he jumps everything and enjoys a day out. He is calm, gentle, trusting, trustworthy, competent, kind, talented. One in a million.
Likes sj, xc, dressage, flat work, training, hacking, fun rides etc. Good out on his own or with other horses. Used to living half out half in stable, happiest outside with other horses.
Good to shoe. Sensitivity to clipping so we have vet sedation for peace of mind. Well behaved but tenses up with vets.
Early in 2025 he sprained a suspensory ligament in the field. Followed the vet’s recovery program and completed rehab with a professional dressage rider schooling him to build the correct strength and balance. Vet has given him a clean bill of health and is now back jumping again.
We are looking for someone to give Podge a forever home, experienced with horses, a good level of riding experience, kind, loving and calm.
We are very sad to sell him but an architectural career means it’s not possible to give him the home he needs and deserves.
We are looking for £6k ono as there isn’t a horse like Podge and we know he is a very special boy. Whoever buys him will be very lucky and feel honoured to have him as their own.
