Barney has the looks, ability, brain and temperament to make a seriously fun horse for someone.
He is bred to do a job and is only just 4, so is obviously looking for a competent home to continue his education whilst have a lot of fun along the way.
He is such a gentleman to do and have around, very independent, doesn’t care if he’s in or out, alone or in company.
Due to our severe lack of time I can confidently say he doesn’t need riding every day, he can be left 2 weeks and still no different, generally a very laid back chap in all areas of life.
In true foreign fashion he can be spooky, but nothing a competent rider would blink twice at, just a goofy warmblood that sees scary pieces of grass around the edge of the ménage, but always gets over the terror after 10 mins of warming up, then the pieces of grass seem to disappear.
When it comes to jumping he is exceptionally brave, the scariest of fillers don’t phase him in the slightest, so bold, he loves to jump and has a correct technique, with plenty of untapped scope.
Hacking out he is extremely brave in traffic for his age, not phased by lorries or tractors. Mainly hacked in company due to his age, but have hacked a couple of times alone and is generally good, the scary blades of grass make an appearance a bit more, but again just foreign spooks, which a rider used to young horses wouldn’t be bothered by.
We had hoped to get him out and about more than we have , however think we were a bit ambitious since welcoming twins last year and having 8 horses in for owners we can’t quite juggle our time like we once could.
Barney is our own, so have picked him up and dropped him around the paying guests, so have only managed to get him out to one unaffiliated SJ, he behaved and jumped beautifully, you really wouldn’t have thought he was barely 4 and at his first show, he is ready to go out and do more.
We haven’t Xc schooled him, but genuinely believe he will jump anything in front of him, so don’t imagine it will take much work/effort for someone with the time to take him.
If I were to crib him in anyway he dishes slightly, so probably wouldn’t be suited to a high level pure dressage home, but other than that he’s a pretty cool dude ready to be produced for any chosen discipline (preferably a jumping home as that’s what he loves to do).
No vices. Up to date teeth and jabs. Never been sick or sorry.
I have multiple videos from him being mounted to ridden to and in the ménage, jump and flat, out of the yard, up the lane, being washed off, trotted up in hand and even one of him being stood up stripped, I’m happy to send them all on Watsap to anyone genuinely interested so as nobody has their time wasted.
Very fairly priced, especially in the current market, but it is important to us that he goes to the right home that understands young horses, if we had the time to do a couple more shows with him the price would be a lot higher, but with the hunters now knocking at the door to come home aswell it’s only fair Barney finds a new home that can dedicate the time and fun he deserves.
No loans.

Please leave a message if no answer, I’m likely to be riding, chasing 12 month twins or 3 hound puppies around, so I will get back to you.
