Walter - 14.3hh, 7 Years, Gelding. Stunning Coloured Dun Cob. Massive Weight Carrier
Safe Confidence Giver
Ideal First Horse / Nervous Rider / RDA
Fantastic All-Rounder / Happy Hacker / Schoolmaster Type
Walter is a kind, well-mannered and exceptionally genuine cob with a fantastic temperament and a wealth of experience. He is the definition of safe, steady and sensible, making him the ideal confidence giver for nervous, novice or less experienced riders, whilst still being enjoyable and responsive enough for a more capable rider wanting to progress and have fun.
Stunning unique coloured cob
Although incredibly calm and forgiving, Walter responds well off the leg and has three excellent paces, he moves beautifully with energy and enthusiasm when asked. He is never spooky, sharp or silly in any way, remaining relaxed and level headed at all times. He is extremely willing and enjoys jumping, happily popping around coloured and rustic fences with a quiet, sensible attitude.
A true snaffle-mouth schoolmaster with no gadgets required.
Walter is currently working in a riding school where he is ridden 3 / 4 days a week by riders of all abilities, from complete beginners on the lead rein, nervous riders and RDA clients through to more experienced jockeys. He takes part in flatwork lessons, private lessons, group sessions, low-level jumping and dressage classes, always proving himself genuine, patient and reliable.
He absolutely loves hacking and is one of the safest horses imaginable out on the roads or in open spaces. He hacks alone or in company and is equally happy at the front, middle or back of the ride. He never pulls, rushes, naps or becomes strong and remains calm and collected in even the busiest environments.
Walter is completely unfazed by extremely heavy traffic including articulated lorries, double-decker buses, tractors, trailers and farm machinery. Nothing bothers him. He is equally mannerly and sensible across open fields and will happily canter in company without getting strong or excitable, even on the way home.
On the ground, Walter has impeccable manners and is an absolute pleasure to handle. He will happily stand for hours being groomed without even needing a headcollar on. He has no vices whatsoever in the stable, field or when ridden and is safe and easy for anyone to handle.
He lives out happily in a mixed herd but is equally content stabled. He keeps himself to himself and never causes any trouble. He is excellent to catch, load, clip, shoe, bath and for the farrier, dentist and vet. Currently barefoot with excellent feet.
Walter would happily turn his hoof to hunting, fun rides, beach rides, riding club activities, low-level eventing or showjumping. He is the sort that gives his rider complete confidence whatever the activity. In his previous home has did low level competitions and Pony club.
He does not need riding every day and can happily have weeks / months off work then be tacked up and ridden away without fuss. He is extremely low-maintenance and straightforward to keep.
He has never had laminitis, sweet itch, sarcoids or any lameness issues. No lumps, bumps or blemishes.
He passes annual riding school licence inspections, equivalent to a Stage 2 vetting.
A genuinely heartbreaking sale of a much-loved horse, only available as we are reducing numbers due to the riding school becoming extremely quiet.
Five-star private home only for this outstanding gelding.
We have several other horses and ponies available as we continue to reduce numbers. Sold on behalf of a working livery.
