Barack - 9yo Spanish gelding 14.3hh Grey
Located near Bradford, West Yorkshire. Genuine reason for sale due to his owner being pregnant so unfortunately she has no time for him anymore.
Priced fairly (mid-high 4figs)- considering his level of training and what a fab all rounder he is because a 5* home is more important.
Barack is a fun and clever Spanish gelding with a brilliant brain and a huge personality. He is a firm favourite on the yard. He is an easy, straightforward ride and is a really lovable, goofy character who enjoys interacting with people and being part of whatever is going on around him.
He has mainly been used for trick training and hacking, where he absolutely excels, and he is a very rewarding horse to work with. He is sensible, straightforward and easy to ride with excellent manners under saddle. I’d trust anyone on his back. The rare kind of horse that will step it up for someone who knows what they’re doing but will happily plod round with a child on his back!
He goes when you ask him to go and comes straight back when you ask him to stop, making him enjoyable and safe without being lazy. He is snaffle mouthed and has a nice way of going.
Trick training (He does these both on the ground and while ridden)
• Bow
• Lie down
• Sit
• Spanish walk
• Leg extensions
Barack really enjoys interacting with people and I would love for him to continue progressing with someone interested in trick or liberty work.
Flatwork & riding
• Basic ridden in the school- walk, trot and canter
• Easy transitions up and down
• Stands to mount and will stand like a rock while you get yourself organised.
• Snaffle mouthed with great brakes, stops on a whistle.
• Very straightforward and simple to ride
Jumping
• Super scopey jump, he picks his knees and back legs up beautiful and shows great potential! He would make a great showjumper for a teenager.
* Happily rides round a course and always remains rideable between fences
• Great to pop coloured fences and fillers and I’ve jumped a couple of ditches with him out hacking which he really enjoys. I think he will be fab out hunting
• Brave and willing attitude, genuinely enjoys jumping- will take himself over jumps when free schooling
Hacking
• Hacks alone and in company
• An amazing horse to hack
• Sensible and level headed but not a plod
• Goes forward when asked and comes straight back when you ask him to stop
• Unphased by traffic, not a spooky horse. He may have a look at things on the side of the road but will go straight past drama free.
Handling & management
• Good to catch, currently turns out in a large mixed herd.
• Good for the farrier
• Good to bath
• Loads and travels well
• Barefoot with good strong feet, was previously shod but has been barefoot for 12 months and copes well.
• Up to date with dentist, farrier and physio
• Happy living in or out
Barack does have a quirk where he sometimes sticks his tongue out to the side of his mouth. He does this in his stable and whilst ridden. This has been checked by both vet and dentist and is simply his habit when he’s bored- does not affect him in any way.
Barack would suit a range of homes- he would be amazing for someone wanting to continue his trick or liberty work, but he would also make a great allrounder or family horse for someone wanting a fun but sensible horse to enjoy.
