Seriously talented 16.2hh 5-Year-Old Bay Gelding
By KMS Rooney (Eldorado) out of a Zandor Z Mare.
A quality young horse with all the attributes to excel in either show jumping or eventing.
This striking 5-year-old bay gelding stands at 16.2hh and is beautifully bred, being by the exciting jumper KMS Rooney out of a Zandor Z mare. Pedigree includes Clinton, Caretino and Thunder van de zuuthoeve. Purchased directly from his local breeder as a 2-year-old, he has been professionally and carefully produced with his long-term future firmly in mind. Backed as a 4-year-old and then turned away while other competition horses took priority, he has been allowed the time to grow, strengthen and mature correctly. As a result, he is relatively low mileage for his age, but is now ready to crack on with his competitive career.
A beautiful model with correct conformation, clean limbs and an athletic frame, he combines quality with ability. He moves well with three correct, balanced paces and is well established in the contact, remaining snaffle-mouthed at all times. His quality movement and rideability make him equally suited to an eventing career as well as show jumping.
He is showing serious talent over fences, proving to be brave, careful and naturally scopey, with all the ingredients to progress through the levels in the right hands. He has been out to arena hires and out xc schooling, however due to both riders having demanding full-time professional careers, he has not yet been given the competition mileage that his ability deserves.
He is a lovely horse to have around the yard, good to load and travel in our horsebox, good with the farrier, mannerly on the ground and hacks well in company. He has never been lame, sick or sorry. Lives in or out happily.
As expected of a young horse, he is still green, therefore he requires a confident, competent rider to continue his education and fulfil his obvious potential.
This is not a horse suited to a novice rider, mother-daughter share, teenager coming off ponies or as a first horse. He is a serious prospect with the talent and quality to be a valuable addition to a professional or ambitious semi-professional show jumper or eventer’s string.
We genuinely believe he has all the ability to make a top-class sport horse in the right hands. He is good enough to be a valuable addition to a professional's string and, once he gains the competition record his talent deserves, his value will no doubt double.
Serious enquiries only. No time wasters, day dreamers or joy riders. This is a genuine sale of a quality young horse with serious potential.
