The kindest horse you could wish to meet and an absolute gentleman to deal with in every way.
Hector is a beautiful Irish Draught Gelding with very old fashioned breeding, he’s by Moutain Triumph x Crossdown Dancer x Sea Crest (to name a few)
Hector is very reluctantly and very sadly now offered only due to ill health, this has not been an easy decision and ideally his new owner will stay in touch with the odd picture and update.
Previous to this home Hector hunted, he is bold and brave and will jump anything pointed at whilst been mannerly, he has always been with lady riders so is not strong or rude.
In the current home he has been doing bits of everything from show jumping, dressage, hacking and more recently has done a small amount of riding school work.
He is a real ‘husband horse’ who would teach someone how to ride without been ‘dead to the leg’ but safe and sensible.
He loves hacking, he’s fab on open fields or busy roads and will go alone or in company.
Hector schools beautifully, he requires leg without been numb or sharp. He will take such a variety of riders he’s one of those horses that’s just hard to find.
He loves jumping and proves careful over poles as well as solid fences.
Hector will enjoy any type of home from riding club activities, hunting, dressage, low level eventing or hacking: he’s such a happy horse who will turn his hoof to anything.
Absolutely no vices, very easy to have on the yard. Happy to turn out with other horses or alone, good in and out of the stable, good for the farrier, to load and travel, dentist etc
Unfortunately does have some superficial scars on his hind legs from his hunting days that do not effect him.
Up to date with absolutely everything, this horse has been kept like a king and we would love that lifestyle to continue.
