Ready For Viewing Fred SN16 9DP
15hh, 18yr old Irish Cob with lots left to give
Fred is a lovely laid back chap, looking for his new home.
He is a lovely stamp of a horse, a leg in each corner. The type you sit on and never want to get off. He loves to stop and have a chat. He can have a month off and then you can get back on like he was ridden yesterday, easily picked up and put down when life gets busy, or the weather is horrid !
Fred would suit a confident novice. Or someone looking for the quieter life, He is a cob so can have his little stubborn moments (as in he stands still!) when he feels he wants a tea break, so does needs someone with legs that is happy to give him a kick occasionally. He doesn’t take much convincing.
Fred is good in the heaviest traffic out hacking, never bothered by any other horse’s behaviour, great in open spaces,
He does not hack alone. He is happy with one other or a whole group! He will go infront , but will also very happily go behind.
Fred will happily live in or out, with mares or geldings,
He is a big soppy boy on the ground. Easy to handle, good to clip all over body and around head, although he has ticklish legs so does need low vibration clippers or a touch of tube sedation,
Fred is up to date with vaccinations. farrier, dentist and physio.
He does prefer to see company when stabled and in the field, so he wouldn’t suit a solo yard. He gets a little anxious if left alone.
Fred loves to hack and this is where his heart really lies, although he will go in the arena and does enjoy going over the odd pole and small jump , but not too regularly at the minute as he isn’t overly fit.
Fred is an ex riding school horse, so very chilled with different riders. He is more whoa than go, but will happily go with the right persuasion.
Fred will come ready to go, with tack (saddle girth bridle breastplate )
