Jasper has been with me since December 2024 and came to me to start his career at eventing. I have spent the majority of his education building the foundations across his flatwork which has greatly paid us back in the more recent step up to Novice this year. He is a very low mileage 8yo, winning his last two novice competitions, and doing mainly BE90s last year. He has been produced to have a well-rounded education and be solid in traffic, around machinery and busy warm up areas.
Jasper is absolutely easy to do in all ways. Whether we go out training or box up to go on a hack, 99% of the time it is just me on the ground and just Jasper in the box. So he is an excellent traveler and always easy to tack up and get on.
Dressage: Jasper has competed up to Elementary with success. He easily has the capability of competing at a higher level and would equally make someone a nice BD partner and could be out competing in Elementary's and Mediums tomorrow. He is very capable of producing nice mediums and extended, half pass, walk pirouettes, and has an even shown some green canter pirouettes. He always try to give you what you are asking for, and has been a pleasure to train for the last two years.
Show Jumping: Jasper has competed up to 1.20m at BSJA. The main aim of competing was to develop his confidence over the higher fences in preparation for the eventing season. However, he would still pull off a fast jump off and has the adjustability to get closer to a fence, or go on a flyer! Showjumping is my weakest phase as a rider and it's taken a few outings at Novice for me to gel with him, but now we are in a rhythm the clear rounds feel easier and easier. He is nice a straight to the fence and is unphased by open waters or colourful fillers, but still careful and keen to clear the fences.
Cross Country: Without a doubt, Jasper is one of the best horses I have ever ridden cross country. He is as honest as the day is long and always tries to get between the flags. He is solid over ditches, trakehners, waters and skinnies. I have been very careful to take my time with his training over different fences and building his trust in his own jump, that now he will take me round a Novice track with minimal aid from me! In more recent training we have been schooling over more complex elements in preparation for a potential of stepping up to intermediate next year with his next home, and he has shown to be brave, careful and consistent even over more technical combinations.
As his rider, carer and now being asked to find Jasper a loving forever home, I would like him to go to someone who would like to still do a mixture of activities with him and not keep him wrapped in cotton wool. He loves hacking and being groomed, fussed and any general attention.
He would suit an amateur looking for a nice partner to either focus on eventing, or as a nice allrounder with the capabilities to excel in all three disciplines. While I feel he could suit someone looking for a partner to step up to intermediate next year, as he is showing he is very capable at the first level. He would equally suit someone who is less inclined to be out training and competing regularly, as even after a holiday he is still sensible and straighforward to bring back into work.
I cannot express the love I have for Jasper, I will only let him go to the best home, and having come off of two consecutive wins, I know I am finding him his next best friend at the righ time. Any questions please reach out.
Viewings will only be taken at weekends due to non-horse work commitments - happy to arrange SJ/XC facilities if requested. Jasper will be kept fit and ready till his forever home is found.
