Patrick’s Palomino Prince AKA “Max”
4 year old TGCA Part-Bred Registered Palomino Cob Gelding standing at 14.1hh, with some growing and maturing still to do. Expected to finish around 14.2hh. Rider pictured is 5ft 7.
Max was backed earlier this year and has been brought on slowly and correctly, with his education focused on getting out hacking and seeing the world. He has a kind, laid back temperament, and is now ready for someone to continue his education.
He hacks alone and in company, and is brilliant in traffic. Wagons, tractors, farm machinery, dogs, cows and bikes don’t seem to bother him.
As you’d expect from a 4 year old, Max is green in the school, but he’s straightforward and very willing. He hasn’t been rushed or overproduced and has been allowed time to mature at his own pace. He has a very trainable temperament, takes everything in his stride and genuinely wants to please. He’s regularly hacked on busy country roads and through open fields, and has proved himself to be a sensible and genuine young horse.
Max has no vices. He’s easy to catch, good to load in both a trailer and wagon, good for the farrier, and is up to date with vaccinations, worming and the dentist. He lives happily in or out, gets on well with other horses and is generally very easy to have around.
He’ll stand tied up patiently while you potter about, loves being groomed and fussed over, and stands happily to be bathed. He was clipped for the first time this spring and behaved impeccably throughout.
As good as he is, Max is still a young horse and learning, so he wouldn’t be suited to a beginner at this stage. That said, he has happily carried children and nervous riders under supervision and has always looked after them.
Max is a genuine, kind young cob with a lovely attitude to life. He’s the sort that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find and I’m sure he’ll be someone’s best friend.
