- Scored 71% Medium BD. 2nd Heavy Weight Hunter Final London International Horse Show
Where do I start! I purchased Hercules as a foal from Ireland. As a 3 year old I showed him in hand a a few local venues taking Champion a few times. Feb 2023 he was backed, April 2023 his under saddle competition career started.
Hercules was Hunter Champion as a 4 yr old at Stars which was a great preparation for London getting him used to the busy surrounding's and atmosphere.
Hercules has been to various county shows, taking Champion to qualify for London where he finished 2nd in the Heavyweight Hunter Final.
Weve taken Champion at many shows as he really is a special horse and is extremely impressive so really stands out.
Weve competed British Dressage just to improve his education, taking Full Draught British Dressage Associate Champion at Novice and Elementary 2024.
He has since competed at Medium level BD scoring 69-71%. He has started changes
Hercules is very special to me and im particular as to where he goes.
He is lacking hacking experience as he isnt the best with big tractors or wagons passing closely and im too old to ride on the road!
Hes ridden on quiet roads away from home and has been fine, hes been on numerous fun rides and jumped small logs and x country jumps easily. But ive not jumped him big as its not my thing. Ive taken him to the gallops on a regular basis and he is the type who does not get upset when other horses gallop past him. He really is a pleasure to take out and has a lot to teach any rider in the arena as he is very educated for his type!!
In July 2025 Hercules had a tie back operation which was extremely successful as he no longer makes a noise when ridden and can now win big classes in the show ring.
Hercules has no vices, blemishes, he has clean legs, no lumps or bumps, good feet and a beautiful brain! I'm very particular who buys Hercules as I love this horse.
Im selling him due to my joint problems and me really struggling physically!
