I am posting an honest advert in an effort to find him his forever home - due to my work commitments and having another horse in full-time work - Bam deserves his own person!
Lovely BamBam is a stunning 16.1 Grey Warmblood gelding, 11 years old. Lovely paces, forward going, hacks alone and in company. He is beautifully bred by the New Priory Stud by Cevin Z, and has been owned by me for the last 3 years, and prior to that he was with a teenage girl who only sold him, as she was focusing on her dressage career, and that wasn’t his thing, so full history known
Bam is a lovely boy. He loves to hack - on his own or in company, happy to be infront or behind and never strong in open spaces. He has the most lovely canter. He enjoys jumping, brave and easy to a fence and again, not strong.
He travels well, can take some time to load (used to be perfect) but hasn’t been out and about a lot recently. Perfect for the farrier (just goes to sleep) and good to clip. Impeccable manners on the ground, perfect to catch and great in the stable.
He has regular physio and recently had a new saddle fitted.
Things to know:-
• Bam has fantastic breeding and there were high hopes for his future, but due to an unfortunate accident when he was a foal (his Dam trod on him), he has now been left with fibrotic myopathy of his hamstring. This doesn’t affect him in any way other than a slight gait abnormality which gives him a characteristic ‘stamp’ of his right hind leg and is only really noticeable in walk
• Bam can get stuffy if too much schooling as he can find it hard doing lots of tight circles, but a couple of times a week is ok
• There have been times when Bam can get spicy and will buck, out of excitement or frustration, so you will need to be an experienced rider with the ability to push him through this. He never did this in his previous home, and I do believe my lack of confidence has led to this behaviour
• His ideal home would be a hacking home, with low level jumping or eventing, where he can be out as much as possible with a stable at night during the winter
Bam really is a lovely horse, he is funny, bags of character and would be a brilliant horse for a confident rider looking for a low level horse on a budget. He will only go to the very best home
We are based near Cirencester Park and have great trial facilities, and I am more than happy to accommodate extended visits to him to get to know him first. I would love to stay in touch with his new owners as this is really a very sad sale
