ONE FOR NAVIGATION (Dinosaur)
Very eyecatching, 8yo, 17.2hh, bay, Irish TB gelding with lots of bone
Talented BE prospect/quality RC horse
Low mileage, scopey jump, lovely paces, long stride, forward going, snaffle mouthed, affectionate horse
Raced lightly as a 4yo NH but big & weak, bought straight from trainer, then 18mths of slowly bringing on with lots of lessons & clinics, XC & SJ hire, couple of unaffiliated dressage, few hunter trials & a mini ODE
Last 18mths done very little due to jockey struggling with health
Positive, easy to train, happy, honest & comfy horse to ride, hacks nicely in company & hacked plenty alone
Never napped or reared, but can get excited & have odd buck, bunny hop, shy
Not for novices simply due to his size & breed & can be a typical TB both on the ground & to ride, but zero malice,
Has a superficial blemish to back foot from injury as a foal with scar tissue (which just looks like mudfever, but not) & abnormal hoof growth (half hoof has vertical ridges, but fully shod & no issues). Has a splint on a front leg
No major lameness with me, just the odd bruise or gravel. Only seen vet for jabs & teeth
Thrives off lots of good hard feed, forage & grass, turnout & equine companions
Up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth & farrier
Good to load (occasionally slow to leave a party & I take a companion if need to walk a course), good to shoe, easy to clip, can get wriggly to tack up/on trailer/when things excite him
Top, longterm home with a lovely person & lots of turnout with others essential
Tack, rugs & gear also available
Very affectionate on ground, loves children, mini Shetlands & rams!
In light work so interested buyer welcome to come multiple times (no loans or LWVTB please)
My perfect horse, but sadly I met him at the wrong time as I'm needing to retire from riding due to longterm, worsening fibromyalgia/ME
