New home wanted for my lovely gentle giant!

12yr old TB 17hh bay gelding - ROR eligible

Very genuine and sad sale of a much loved horse. Due to finishing university and a graduate job starting in September I recognise I will no longer have the time he deserves. Ideally I'd be looking for hm to go into a showing/dressage/hacking/hunting home.

Flatwork- Zephyr has three established paces on the flat and works in a correct outline. He has been out to unaffiliated dressage competitions and done some local ROR showing classes, receiving very positive feed back from the judges about his conformation and way of going. A very eye catching gentleman in the show ring.

Hacking- He loves his hacking and is reliable in groups. He is sane and sensible in both open spaces and on the roads. He has had a variety of traffic pass him including tractors/trailers/lorries etc. I have previously hacked him on the roads alone however he isn't confident and due to being an ex racehorse prefers going out in company.

Jumping- We are comfortably popping round 80cm courses at home and in the past have jumped 1m in the school. He has gone to both local arena hire and XC schooling and thoroughly enjoyed this.

Hunting- Zephyr has spent the past two seasons hunting on a Monday with the VWH. He will happily pop rails and hedges however, I don't particularly want him going to a hunting only home as he love having variety in his work!

Exceedingly polite on the ground. Very well mannered for the farrier, vet, dentist and clipping. Has never required any sedating for any maintenance visits/jobs.

As fantastic as he is, he is NOT a novice ride. He does have his Quirks like any TB, and due to his size needs a confident rider on board. He has given me years of fun and is guaranteed to put a smile on anyones face!

Saddle/ bridle / girth can be included for an additional fee.
