Handsome British Warmblood Seeking His Forever Human
A much-loved, well-bred 16.2hh British Warmblood gelding who is on the lookout for his special person to continue his story.
He’s a genuine, low mileage (14 year old) with plenty left in the tank and a huge amount of untapped potential. Due to life getting in the way (never his fault), he’s now ready for a consistent, confident partner who can give him the direction and routine he thrives on.
The Important Bits
* Lovely, expressive three correct paces.
* Schooled on the flat and shows real quality for dressage.
* Hacks happily in company.
* Previously enjoyed beach rides, forest fun rides and weekends away in company.
* Good to handle and polite for the vet, farrier, physio etc.
* A real people-person who adores fuss and attention.
* He has been to a handful of low level dressage competitions and consistently scored well and would be ideally suited to a dressage-focused home or a confident rider who wants a smart, quality horse to enjoy hacking and flatwork with.
When he was younger, he was introduced to jumping but politely and firmly informed us that leaving the ground is not his preferred life choice. He would therefore not suit a jumping or eventing home (he is very much a “keep all four feet safely on the floor” type).
His Quirks (Because Nobody’s Perfect And We Want To Be Honest)
He is a sensitive soul who takes confidence from his rider.
Very occasionally (if he questions something), he can challenge you with a drop of the shoulder and a spin.
He does not need a highly technical rider but he does need a calm, clear leader. The sort who quietly says, “No, that’s not happening,” and means it.
He thrives on routine, consistency and clear direction. Sporadic work doesn’t bring out his best.
He remains firmly uninterested in showjumping fame.
He does not like to hack alone (The monsters will come for him).
In short: he isn’t looking for the most advanced rider, he’s looking for someone confident, fair and decisive. In the right hands he is hugely rewarding, affectionate and full of quality.
Health
He fractured his left hind fetlock at four (10 years ago). This has caused no issues since and he has no other significant veterinary history.
Home is Everything
He must go to a knowledgeable, loving 5* home where he will be kept in regular work and cherished. This is far more important than price.
