Dylan is approximately 14.1hh, 9 years old, a well-bred Section D gelding
He truly has the most wonderful temperament — a cheeky, affectionate character who absolutely loves attention. Everyone who meets him falls in love with him. He’s full of personality and really enjoys having his own person.
Dylan schools nicely, is very flashy, and has a careful, scopey jump. He’s incredibly genuine with fences and isn’t spooky at all — he’ll happily jump whatever is put in front of him. In the right hands, he would make a fantastic working hunter prospect.
He hacks alone and in company, although he is still green hacking solo and would benefit from someone continuing to build his confidence in this area.
Dylan is low mileage for his age. He has attended a couple of clear round events and arena hires and has behaved brilliantly — he now simply needs to get out and see more of the world. I genuinely believe he could excel with someone who has the time to produce him further.
He is not suitable for a novice rider. While he has no nasty behaviour, he is a typical sensitive Section D who needs a confident, capable rider. When I first bought him, he was very nervous around people. He has come on massively and now loves fuss and attention, although he can still be wary of sudden movements at times.
Dylan does have a couple of minor cosmetic blemishes — capped hocks (hardly noticeable) and a small fluid lump on his knee, both of which have been checked by the vet and are purely cosmetic. He also briefly used to windsuck after feeds, but since placing a brush on his stable door he no longer does this.
Teeth upto date, he has never been shod as he has great hooves, ive never felt the need. Fine with farrier and to clip.
These points are already reflected in his price.
This is a heartbreaking sale, so finding the right home is far more important than anything else. Dylan deserves someone who will give him the time, consistency, and attention he thrives on. Only selling as i dont have the time to do him justice.
