Introducing Oliver, our absolutely gorgeous 16hh , 9 year old British Warmblood Gelding, looking for a new Mummy Daddy or full family (!) to love , enjoy and share new adventures with.
Oliver is extremely handsome and perfectly correct in every way, he moves like a dream, is well schooled, and always a snaffle mouth. He is a pretty chilled chap, with a laid back nature, which we have found ideal for teaching my novice partner to ride on. Oliver has also been helping my friend’s 16 year old daughter gain confidence and experience. He has improved her riding and flatwork as well as introducing her to showjumping and competition. He is a quality well bred horse. He has a sensible head, and offers a push on type ride, without being lazy he is on the quiter side .
This being said, he can be jazzed up a little when required and has also competed in one day eventing , showjumping at 1m/ 1.05 competition, prelim and novice level dressage and an abundance of pony club and riding club activities. He can clear 4ft with ease! He would also be a fabulous horse for an equestrian centre / college to have on their books, as he would be suitable for such a large variety of riders from the beginners through to the more advanced.
He works nicely in the sand school and also works well in open fields, he doesn’t change in his demeanour. He has hacked through the busy village on his own and also with my daughter on her pony. My 7 year old daughter can lead him in from the paddock and ride him bareback.
He is a lovely boy to fuss with, kiss, cuddle and groom. We have travelled him in both a horsebox and a trailer , and he is good with the farrier, dentist and clipping .
Oliver is fully wormed and vaccinated.
He is happy to live in or out, when he first came to us he did occasionally weave in his stable but this totally subsided after a week or two , however for transparency I’m mentioning it.
Please no time wasters or joy riders, this is extremely sad for us to part with him .
