Due to genuine personal circumstances, Rocco is sadly looking for a new home. This is through absolutely no fault of his own, and he will only be sold to the very best home.
Rocco is a genuine, kind horse with a fantastic attitude to work. He is always willing to please and gives everything a go. He takes confidence from his rider, so he would be best suited to someone who can ride positively and consistently. However, he would also happily suit a confident novice rider with some horse knowledge who is looking for a genuine young horse to enjoy and continue producing. Kind, willing and eager to learn, Rocco has all the potential to make an outstanding all-round horse.
Rocco was professionally backed at the start of last winter before being turned away to mature. He returned to work in March and has been riding away consistently ever since. Despite his young age, he has taken everything in his stride and continues to impress with his willing attitude and sensible nature. He really is an old head on young shoulders, taking new experiences in his stride and always trying his best.
Since coming back into work, he has enjoyed beach rides, cross-country schooling, flatwork and plenty of hacking. He hacks happily alone or in company and is equally happy leading or following. He is very good in open spaces and, although he may be a little more forward in completely new environments, there is never anything silly or naughty about him. He has a lovely, level-headed temperament and always tries his best.
He is also incredibly genuine to ride after time off. He recently had several days off during the hot weather and came straight back into work without any fuss.
On the ground, Rocco is a pleasure to have around and is a real yard favourite thanks to his kind, friendly nature. He has lovely stable manners and is easy to handle in all respects.
Rocco is:
* Good to catch
* Good to load
* Can be unsure with the farrier but is improving with regular handling
* Well-mannered on the ground and in the stable
* Easy to do in all ways
* Up to date with vaccinations, dentist and farrier
* Recently passed a full 5-stage vetting with no issues
Unfortunately, his breeding is unknown.
Rocco has all the ingredients to make an exceptional all-round horse for someone wanting a genuine young horse to continue producing. He has a fantastic brain, a kind nature and a real willingness to learn, making him an exciting prospect for the future.
Rocco is equally happy living in or out and is content either with other horses or on his own.
Based in Dorset.
