An advert I never wanted to write but sadly my beautiful Highbury Phoenix is looking for a new home.
Phoenix is a star and is so easy to do in all ways. He is anyone’s ride and will step up or down depending on his rider. All the family have ridden him and my 3yr old wants to steal him daily.
I bought him following a 3-year break from riding and our first show was London international horse show where we were placed. We have competed in some strong HOYS qualifiers, being 6th in Three counties and the highest placed Amateur. He always tries his best and behaves.
He is the same if ridden every day, once a month, in a field, arena or hacking. He is not spooky and is regularly ridden passed pigs and trains.
He has a fabulous character and adores giving big kisses and loves a pamper.
He is excellent to box (lorry or trailer), clip, bath (stands like a rock when I can’t reach to put his hood on) ,shoe, physio , dentist etc…..
Phoenix is a lovely responsive ride; he is not a plod but has breaks and gives a wonderful feeling in his gallop. He has hunted with his previous owners, my husband has jumped him a little (not my thing) but I think he could excel at working hunter/working show horse classes. We have done some dressage, and he attends riding club.
I can take him anywhere by myself as he is polite and mannerly and just such a good boy (I’m only 5ft). He is happy to stay away at any show or just as happy to stand by/on the box waiting for his class.
Phoenix is currently out in the field in the day with his girls (Shetland and sec A) and stabled at night, he keeps himself to himself and doesn’t get involved in any drama.
He is ready to contend Any classes you want to do next season or equally just have fun doing a bit of everything. He still holds amateur status and would be fabulous for Search for a star. Qualified Amateur of the year show 2025 and if allowed can be sold with the ride.
This is a very sad sale and he will only go to the very best of homes.
