Rare find – talented, genuine schoolmaster and confidence-giver
Ralph is one of those rare horses who genuinely looks after his rider. He has competed successfully up to 1.40m and is a talented, smart all-rounder with a wonderfully kind temperament. Unfazed by almost anything, he is equally happy looking after a novice rider or stepping up when asked by someone more experienced, he has a big bouncy Warmblood trott so real beginners may take a while to get use to that, he has a lovely armchair canter and moves well.
He is easy to handle in every way, great to catch, load, shoe great for the dentist. He has no ridden or stable vices, no ongoing medical issues or known allergies and is fully up to date with his feet, teeth, back and vaccinations.
Ralph turned 15 this month, and we have had three wonderful years with him. Sadly, increasing work and family commitments mean I can no longer give him the time he deserves, so this is a genuine sale.
Finding Ralph the right forever home is incredibly important to us. I think he would be a fantastic prospect for someone coming up from jumping ponies and looking for a horse who can take them up through the levels, while already knowing his job.
Equally, he would suit someone looking for a safe, sensible all-rounder to have some hassle-free fun with, or a more experienced/older rider who wants to do a bit of everything without needing to ride something that requires constant management. He is the sort of horse who will look after his rider and give them confidence and the kind, that can have a week off and you could jump back on without worrying.
He has been a much-loved member of our family, and although it is a very difficult decision to sell him, finding him a home where he will be appreciated and enjoyed is far more important to us than simply finding him a new owner.
We are getting out of horses, so we also have a quantity of track equipment and a trailer available for sale.
He comes with six years of medical history with no issues, and his previous owner remains in contact, and ideally we would like to do the same.
A genuinely lovely horse who has given us so much, we would love to find him a home where he will be appreciated and enjoyed for many years to come.
