A jack of all trades in the making …
The looks , the temperament , and the ability
Meet ‘Ted’ - a compact and well put together 16.1hh , 6yo, ISH gelding
Ted has no lumps or bumps , no vices or health issues whatsoever
A very slight pigeon toe in front if you wanted to be critical - passed a two stage vetting with this and is of no clinical significance
A true gentleman to have around , you don’t know you have him! Slots into any routine and is an extremely laid back , happy go lucky chap!
Will turn out individually or in a mixed herd, happy to live in or out and always first to the gate to be caught.
Loads and travels like a saint on a trailer or a lorry
The perfect client for the farrier , super to clip, bath, groom tack up, plait etc
Ted is a real mover on the flat! Would go out tomorrow and do a beautiful little dressage test! Always snaffle mouth , works in a very natural outline and is self sufficient throughout the paces while always being beautiful to watch
I’d challenge anyone to find me a little horse who’s braver than this chap when it comes to popping a fence ! Never looks at any fillers , and height etc
He is uber careful and extremely reliable. He will always jump you out of trouble , never offended by a miss and more helpful than most ten year olds !! I don’t think he’s going to be a world beater but would go and take you around the meter tomorrow and not touch a pole. Has attended a handful of unaffiliated shows and was his usual consistent , reliable , and mannerly self.
Has hunted in Ireland and here is the UK with myself. Stood statue still at a very busy meet. Was bold and brave , jumped everything that was asked of him and remained totally sane , and textbook but a whole lot of fun! Opened all the gates , let me clamber back on and away to go. This is the best horse I’ve ever had the pleasure of taking on the hunt field. Snaffle mouthed , just impeccable mannerisms and took me over fences with me doing no piloting , just shutting my eyes and steering! What a champ!
Ted would be a super seasoned hunter , family horse , top level allrounder etc. As straightforward as he is , he is still young and can be a little green going up to the canter transition on occasion. Nothing at all nasty etc, just a baby! Although I think he’d take a novice , I feel he is suited to someone who wants a smart young horse to bring on and show the world but likes to know they are safe. He is 100% vice free and a lovely young horse.
Ted loves to hack out! Alone or in company , very easy and straightforward. Extreme bold in all traffic. Can be seen along the 60mph road outside our yard. As well as on the road , he’s the all round perfect gentleman on open spaces. Pops logs etc , stands at the mountain block … he really is an older head on young shoulders with a very bright future ahead of him
