Bruno is a very kind and affectionate chap who is an out and out pleasure to have on the yard! Handled by my four year old daughter regularly. He may be a big bus of a horse , but what a temperament he has- couldn’t wish for better.
Loads and travel on trailer or lorry
Good doer - live in or out
Perfect to catch , turn out with mates and gelding or quite happy on his own
Excellent to clip , bath , shoe etc
Fantastic horse to take out. Not the hot and sharp type in the slightest
Goes well on the flat. Very established transitions , canter of dreams , and perfect push button , auto installed changes. Always in a snaffle , not at all strong. A novice or the smallest , most nervous of riders could ride him around on the flat
I love to jump this horse! He is so forgiving of a miss. Never offended , will just carry on jumping around and will always jump you of trouble. He comes around and commits to the fence but never charges you in. Very mannerly and honest. Bold as brass with fillers , very neat both in front and behind. He’s a versatile sort as he could go and be a teacher for someone , equally someone could go and step him up to the big classes and teach him at that level
Sane enough for an amateur, plenty capable enough for a professional!
Bruno enjoys off road hacking. He is not the boldest in heavy traffic. Just lack of experience and nothing at all nasty but I wouldn’t say he’s a happy hack! Not in heavy traffic anyway! Around the quiet village and country lanes , he is fine. He’s also brilliant in open spaces. I regularly take him cantering around the hay fields , he’s a reliable chap
Can be a fidget to mount so we just mount with a feed scoop - then of course , he doesn’t move an inch! Typical foodie!
He’s a seriously class horse. He will be someone’s horse of a lifetime I’m sure
Bruno hasn’t jumped registered since a 6yo, now 8yo. This was purely because owner found out that she was pregnant and went on to have another baby thereafter. After starting her young family she decided she wasn’t going to get back to it and didn’t want this calibre of horse that loves his work so much to be wasted.
He’s a real deal bargain at the moment. We’ve taken him to arena hires , lessons etc. he’s now more than ready to get back in the ring. I’m very stretched with lots of competitive rides at the moment so just haven’t had chance to get him back in the ring. However , if he’s not snapped up at this price , then absolutely he’ll get back in the ring with me and this price will no longer stand.
Same home since he was direct from the breeder as a 3yo. He’s a very kind horse who deserves someone who will appreciate him
We’d like to stay in touch with new owners, he means a lot to me
