Goose is a smart, genuine and competitive 16.3hh, 11yo ISH gelding by Bahrain Cruise x Maltstriker.
I have owned him since he was a 3yo and we’ve done everything together. With a strong focus on eventing, he has competed and won at 90 level, with numerous double clears and top 10 placings at BE90. He has also won at Prelim dressage, has multiple placings and double clears at unaffiliated showjumping, and has been successful at hunter trials.
2026 competition results so far:
- Won first 80 ODE of the season (26.04.26) best dressage in the section on 29.4, double clear and inside the time to finish on his dressage score!
- WON second event of the season, 22.2 dressage and double clear inside the time to win and qualify for Riding Club championships.
- 3rd place and double clear in arena eventing
- Just outside the top 10 in a competitive 90cm hunter trial
He has three smart, balanced paces and a neat, scopey jump, comfortably trained over 1m-1.10m+. He is brave and genuine cross country - ditches, steps, water, combinations etc. He is a very rhythmical ride who jumps out of a consistent, balanced canter.
Goose hacks alone and in company and is good to shoe, clip, load and handle. He is easy to have on the yard, lives in or out and turns out happily with others. He has a very kind, affectionate personality and really is a lovely horse to be around.
He has been broken and produced by myself (I’m 5ft2), so is very used to smaller, more petite riders and is light and responsive to ride.
He would make a fantastic and competitive BE grassroots contender, and would equally suit a keen riding club or amateur home looking for a smart, fun and competitive all-rounder. He would suit a confident rider looking to be competitive at BE80/90/100 and beyond with the right partnership.
He has been ridden and lightly competed by amateurs, including my groom and mum, who he looked after well. He is a genuine and straightforward ride, but as a quality, intelligent horse he does appreciate a confident rider to get the best out of him.
Only the very best home for this much loved horse, he is incredibly special to us and deserves nothing less.
He is fit and ready to continue the 2026 season and progress on further.
