15.2hh Piebald Gelding | 9 Years | Outstanding Allrounder with Presence
CHAPS Passport
Numpty is a striking 15.2hh piebald gelding, 9 years old, with a huge personality and presence to match. A true “sports horse in a cob body” – forward-thinking, enthusiastic, and always keen to work. He is a real substantial traditional cob.
He is a versatile allrounder with experience across multiple disciplines including;
Hunting, where he has jumped hedges, rails, walls, ditches, traps etc. He has been hunted by other people. He even took a friend for her first ever days hunting. Often holding gates for the field to pass through. Will stand impeccably at meets and between lines.
Showjumping, arena hires, pole clinics, cross-country schooling, hunter trials, team chasing, dressage, endless funrides and showing. He is consistently placed in the ribbons. He has also stewarded at hunt scurries and will happily lead other horses. He doesn’t get fizzy or silly at any event, he will stand around quietly whether on the box, tied up or mounted.
An absolute pleasure to hack, super safe!! Forward going. Completely unfazed by traffic and excellent with gates. He will happily stand patiently while gates are opened and closed, whether mounted or dismounted. He will allow a rider to mount from anything.
He adapts well and can plod along quietly on the lead rein or take care of a novice rider out hacking, including unbalanced riders. He has been hacked out along a busy A road by a complete beginner! He does not react to other horses being stupid, he’s the type to stand and wait if another horse takes off, often takes the lead past scary objects! He doesn’t get silly in open spaces will happily walk, trot, canter or gallop through a field. Respectful of what you ask from him. He has been regularly ridden and competed by my competent now 11-year-old daughter, who also hacks him out alone.
That said, he is not a novice owner’s horse. He is intelligent and knows his job. He’s best suited to a confident, consistent rider/handler to get the best from him.
Forward-going in the school with a willing attitude and three correct paces. With his eye-catching markings and presence, he would excel in the showing ring. Equally enjoys just being a happy hacker.
* Excellent to load and travel in a trailer; stands quietly for long periods
* Happy to stand tied to the box for hours or remain on board
* Good for the farrier
* Can live in or out; happy alone or in company
* Easy to keep—lives on fresh air
* Fit and ready to go
* Great to catch and lead
* Used to the hustle and bustle of a busy working farm
Bad points - he can’t be perfect with everything!
* Requires sedation for clipping - only hogged for hunt season
* Windsucks occasionally after hard feed/treats (not always and does go days without doing it) will typically do this in the air for a few minutes. Solution would be no hard feed/treats.
* Has a couple of very small sarcoids on his sheath, haven’t changed in the years I’ve owned him, could be treated but have never bothered me. You would never notice them unless pointed out.
He is very much a “one-person” horse who forms a strong bond with his owner. Affectionate in his own way (he loves kisses!) but not one for being fussed by everyone.
A very difficult and genuine sale of a much-loved horse. Owned for nearly 3 years. Sadly, I have had to accept that he is just too quiet for me, and it is time for him to find someone who will fully enjoy and appreciate him.
A real head-turner who is always complimented wherever he goes!!
Absolutely no dealers or nervous/novices. Long term private home sought after!! A home where I could ideally keep in touch.
Open to any vet/inspection
