16.2hh | 8 Years Old | Gelding | ISH
Available is a striking and kind-natured gelding with a fantastic attitude toward his work. He is a "lovely boy" in every sense—responsive, sweet-tempered, and showing genuine quality in all three phases.
Key Highlights:
* Education: Progressing beautifully on the flat. He has lovely, rhythmic paces and is currently developing great strength and flexibility.
* Jumping: A superb, rhythmic jumper. He is exceptionally calm to a fence, doesn't "hot up," and remains in a snaffle at all times. He has comfortably jumped 1m+ with a previous owner.
* Temperament: A pleasure to have on the yard. Good to clip, great for the farrier, and loads/travels perfectly.
* Recent Form: Recently attended a Pony Club rally where he was foot-perfect and took everything in his stride. He is good in traffic and with big farm machinery.
The Ideal Home:
While he is a dream in the school and at organised events, he is currently living on a busy working farm and has found the environment (specifically the sheep) a bit overwhelming. He is looking for a home on a standard equestrian yard where he can feel more settled. Though he is good in traffic and with the farm machinery.
He is anxious when hacking and requires a confident, experienced rider to continue building his confidence in this area. He doesn’t do anything nasty but just gets tense. He can have a spook but this is easily managed and not a spin off, he likes to turn and face the offending object. It is fixable with the right training and consistency.
With consistency, he has the potential to be a top-tier all-rounder.
Additional Information:
* Health: He lost an eye in a field accident as a youngster; this has never hindered his performance, vision on the other side, or jumping ability. He has never known any different with his ridden career so it does not impact him.
* Suitability: Would suit a capable rider or amateur looking for a quality project, a college, or a competitive riding school, a mother/daughter share with a confident rider to fix the hacking, a riding club home where he can find his potential.
* Reason for Sale: Simply not suited to our specific farm lifestyle. He deserves a home where he can relax and reach his full potential.
Price: £ Open to sensible offers for a quick, hassle-free sale to the right home. He will come with his bridle and a few rugs.
