Beautiful dark grey KWPN gelding. Ted was purchased as an unbroken 3yrs old by me when I was 17yo. He was my first young horse and we have grow and learnt together. He is a lovely, well-built, active horse with lots of talent and willingness to help his rider.
Dressage: Forward off the leg and been ridden by the same rider and trainer since he was first backed. Working on leg yield, half pass, counter canter, flying changes, direct transitions, pirouettes all with great success. He loves to be the centre of attention and loves work! He is also loved by dressage judges everywhere he goes.
Show jumping: Attended pony club training rallies, camps and clinics since he was 4yo and is used to attending group sessions or solo clinics. Loves going out on the lorry to parties. Happy to be tied to the side of the lorry or on it. He is a super clean jumper and will try exceptionally hard to always bring home a clear. This is of course dependant on the rider not getting it wrong! Which happens more than I am willing to admit!
Ted is a pleasure to teach and ride, he loves to learn. He will be very much missed and I plan to keep on contact with his next home and watch him succeed from the sidelines.
Cross country: He has only completed in a handful of BE competitions this summer, due to my lack of time with work. But we still managed to pick up a 1st and 3rd. He loves cross country and is brave and bold. Unfortunately in our first event of the year, he was loving the cross country abit too much and was too strong at a multi-element phase, so a circle was required. Since I have put him in a Cheltenham gag to sj and xc at competitions only. The rest of the time for flatwork, hacking, canter training, jump sessions he is in a snaffle. Super canter, so really covers the ground. He would go intermediate with someone who had the time to get him fit enough for the cross country.
Ted is very much my baby, but he has not been spoilt and has a lovely nature, but is forward going and likes to be worked. He is not precious if you get it wrong, but he does need to go to someone that has had a competition horse before. He does not have a bad bone in his body, and is loved by all his trainers. He is a kind, affectionate horse and I have had a huge amount of fun with this horse and I'm looking for him to go to someone who will give him a kind loving home and make use of his talents.
Easy to shoe, loves to be clipped, catch, load, travel, hack. Loves being groomed and fussed. Turned out with mares or geldings…. Can be playful in the field.
No dealers or time wasters. Ridden 3/4 days a week currently with a mix of hacking and flat schooling. Jumped 1/2 a month. Homes will be vetted.
Passed 5star vetting in December with clean x-rays on all four legs.
