Henry is a 15.1h 6 year old unregistered Irish x arab gelding who is the perfect pleasure / riding club allrounder, with a wonderful temperament. He is extremely level headed, safe and sensible. He is a very handsome boy; being blue and white he catches the eye where ever he goes and stands out from the crowd. He has excellent conformation, straight movement and clean limbs. He is a lovely athletic stamp who takes a medium gullet saddle, so he isn't a wide ride. He is an ideal size where he would carry a small adult as well as children so would be a fantastic mother/ daughter share. He is the perfect fun pleasure horse who loves his hacking and enjoys doing a bit of everything
Henry is brilliant to hack both alone and in company. He is excellent with traffic and regularity crosses the a47 roundabout where he doesn't bat an eye lid at lorries, tractors or motor bikes whizzing past him. He is very calm and sensible in open spaces, he will canter in any order within a group in a calm sensible manner. He is a real pleasure to hack and you can really relax on him and enjoy your ride without having to worry about anything. You can drop you reins on him and he won't go anywhere. He has been on some pleasure rides which he loves, he is always a real pleasure to take out and so much fun! He would be the ideal type to take on horse holidays. He would definitely make a wonderful pleasure horse for someone to enjoy hours of hacking on and sponsored rides. He would be very well suited to hunting also as he doesn't get strong or fizzy and he is very mannerly to ride. He has been hacked up the road by a 3 year old who was lead from another horse, he is a real trustworthy saint.
Henry schools nicely on the flat, he has 3 correct paces and works in a lovely light soft outline. He has a lovely comfortable stride and he has a lovely collected steady canter that is very easy to sit to. He goes nicely off the leg and rides in a nice medium speed, you can get your leg on him and ride him between hand and leg. He is a very sensible ride who is eager to please. He is not the spooky type, he doesn't mind if other horses around him are messing about, he is always very level headed. He would suit a variety of riders from competent novices upwards, he is very adaptable and forgiving of his rider. He doesn't mind if his rider looses balance ect. He is a very safe boy, we have had a 2 and 3 year old child ride him with us and he always looks after the children extremely well. He has the potential to do a lovely dressage test as he has a lovely step on him; he is ready to go out at preliminary level now and he would soon progress through the levels
Henry enjoys to jump and makes a nice shape. He is very easy to ride into and away from a fence. He doesn't rush into his jumps, he remains in a lovely steady rhythm. He is very genuine and honest. She never over jumps his rider, he just does enough to clear the jumps and looks after his rider. He has jumped around courses of 80/90cm which he is very comfortable with. He is very brave and honest over fillers and water trays. He also really enjoys cross country, he happily jumps everything asked of him in a calm sensible manner. He would be perfectly suited to all pony/riding club activities as his temperament is excellent and he never gets excitable, strong or silly and waits around for his turn beautifully.
Henry has a wonderful temperament; he is very interactive with people and loves all attention. He gives wonderful cuddles. He is very confident in his own skin and is not at all nervous to handle, he loves everybody. He is very easy to handle in all ways. He is easy to catch (always the first one to the gate), lead, shoe, bath, load ect. He will happily live in or out, but does like a regular routine. He mixes well with other horses, he's at the bottom of the pecking order. He would be ideal for someone wanting a fun leisure/pleasure horse to enjoy hours of hacking with. He would also make a lovely mother/daughter share to do a bit of everything with. Henry must sell to a 5* home. Based in Peterborough.
