16.3hh Belgian Warmblood Gelding – Rising 13
This is honestly one of the hardest adverts I’ve ever had to write because he truly is a heart horse.
By a 1.60m sire (Zilverstar T) he has more recently been out competing up to Discovery level with another rider and absolutely has the ability to go further in the right hands. Competitive riding simply hasn’t been my main interest, so over the last eight years he has mainly been my best friend - enjoying happy hacking, clinics, low-level competing, fun rides and simply being part of everyday life.
He is a genuine, affectionate horse full of personality, with the kindest nature and the funniest character. He’s the type that people instantly fall in love with and once you know him, it’s impossible not to adore him.
He has so much untapped potential and I truly believe someone could really flourish with him in dressage, showjumping or even eventing as he is incredibly brave cross-country and always wants to please.
His jumping is one of his best qualities. He is incredibly genuine to a fence, will jump from any stride and always makes sure his rider is looked after. He absolutely loves to jump and tries his heart out every single time, always wanting to please.
He hacks alone or in company, is good in traffic, enjoys a good canter around the fields and has been on pub rides and fun rides. He’s great to travel, load, catch and handle, and I’ve taken him out to shows on my own many times where he has behaved impeccably.
He is a forward-going, athletic horse with a very intelligent brain, so he would suit a confident rider who enjoys quality horses. He’s never nasty or malicious - he simply loves having a job and builds a lovely partnership with his rider.
He has been in the same home with me for the last eight years, where he has been allowed the time to mature properly and enjoy life without being overproduced or rushed. Because of this, he remains a relatively low-mileage horse for his age with plenty still left to give and lots of potential for someone to continue developing.
This horse owes me absolutely nothing, and finding him the right home is far more important than anything else. He deserves someone who will love him as much as I do and continue to enjoy everything that makes him so special.
