For sale on behalf of his owner. Jerry is a super smart 16.1h 8 year old registered Irish sports horse (ID x TB) bay gelding. He is very well bred with 5 generations of pedigree, by (Clerkenwell, which goes back to Sadlers Wells and Northern Dancer) out of (Corran Jenny, going back to Corran Ginger and Ginger Dick). He is very eye catching and flashy with his four white socks and blaze. He has a very handsome stunning head with a bright kind eye. He is a real quality middle weight stamp with a good depth of girth so takes tall riders very easily. He would be suited to a gentle man or lady rider as well as competent confident teenagers coming off ponies. He has excellent conformation, clean limbs and straight movement.
Jerry has good basic schooling on the flat with three good paces. He has a light snaffle mouth and isn’t strong. Flat work isn’t his favourite discipline but he happily works in the school as part of a varied work load. He does require a bit of leg on the flat to keep motivated but when he is going forward into the contact he looks a million dollars and shows so much potential to do a smart dressage test. He is a little green for his age as he hasn’t had the consistency in his work due to his owners other commitments. So he would come on a lot with consistency. However he is a safe ride and isn’t sharp so would suit less technical riders as well as established riders as long as they are confident. He has done a few preliminary dressage tests in a previous home as well as arena hires and clinics. He would make a nice alrounder / eventer where he gets to jump and do a bit of flatwork on the side.
Jerry really enjoys jumping and makes a super shape over a fence. He nicely takes you into the jumps without rushing or getting silly. He maintains a lovely rhythm and will jump from trot or canter. He isn’t spooky and will jump over fillers without looking. He has lots of scope. He has been schoolimg around 90cm/100cm courses showing lots of potential to jump much higher tracks. He really does live for his jumping! He has done some unafilliated sj competitions in his previous home where he was always placed, he has also done jumping clinics ect. He has done some arena eventing in the past which he loved. He has also been xc schooling where he proved very bold jumping everything without hesitation. He would make a super show jumping horse or eventer a she has so much class and potential to go far. He would also suit a riding club home to do a bit of everything.
Jerry hacks out well in company. He is good in traffic and sensible in open spaces. He has been on some fun rides and horse holidays to Thetford forest with his current owner. His current owner is very much a happy hacker who likes to put Jerry down and pick him up and this doesn’t suit Jerry as he enjoys to be in work and do more than just a hack every month. So for this reason he requires a home where he will do more than happy hack. He hasn’t done much hacking alone and requires a strong leg from his rider to go out alone so is better in company.
Jerry is such a character on the ground, he is definitely the class clown that makes you laugh every day. He loves to be centre of attention. He loves to be groomed and pampered. He enjoys to be in a routine and is very easy to do when in a routine, he just goes with the flow and doesn’t mind if he goes out at night or goes out in the day. Hes very chilled in his stable, loves his food. He is very quiet in the field. He does need firm yet fair handling, he would walk all over a nervous novice handler but is very easy if you set boundaries and know what you are doing. Having said that there is no harm in him, he just doesn’t have much special awareness. He is good to catch, bath, clip, load, shoe ect. He is a very lovable boy who would be someone’s best friend.
We are looking for an experienced 5* home for Jerry where he will be loved and worked. He needs to have a job to do and would really thrive in a jumping or eventing home. He isn’t suitable for nervous or novice riders or handlers but has so much potential with the right home. His current owner is only selling him as she doesn’t have the time that Jerry needs and deserves.
