14.2hh Traditional Coloured Gelding | Approx 5–6yrs | Backed | CHAPS Placed 2024 in hand | Genuine All-Round Prospect
Striking piebald gelding, approx 14.2hh, a proper traditional stamp with bone, presence and a kind, intelligent outlook. Owned since a 2yo and produced correctly with long-term soundness and development in mind. Successfully shown CHAPS 2024, placed in all classes and taken through to evening performance — he carries himself well and has already proven he can deal with some busy environments.
Education & Current Work
He was professionally backed and ridden over a 10-week period (Oct–Dec 2025), taking everything in his stride. Turned away since due to time and weather, not ability, and now back in work, currently long reining out on the road, around the farm and in open fields to continue his education. Not under saddle due to size of owners butt right now but work in progress so don't hang around!
During backing he hacked both alone and in company, proving sensible and straightforward, including through water and new environments (videos available and on here).
Produced correctly and given time to mature, he was not rushed as a youngster. Backed later by design to allow him to strengthen and develop properly, giving him a solid, long-term foundation.
A genuinely kind, level-headed horse who enjoys human interaction and wants to work with you. Naturally independent — happy to be left, does not call or become unsettled away from others.
Not suited to nervous, over-analytical or inconsistent riding — he thrives with quiet, straightforward handling from someone who enjoys producing a horse properly and having fun beyond the arena. He is not sharp or reactive; he is a kind, willing horse who genuinely wants to get things right. He responds best to clear, consistent guidance and positive reinforcement. If over faced or rushed, he could lose confidence, so he is best produced progressively by someone who reads their horse and works with him, not against him.
A proper all-rounder with quality — well suited to a Pony Club / family home wanting to do a bit of everything: Fun rides, clinics, local shows, camps, hacks out, pub rides etc. Equally, he has the presence and ability to step up with the right training. Shows a natural aptitude for long reining and could also develop into a smart driving prospect. A correctly produced horse with a solid foundation — offering a genuine opportunity to develop something quality without having to undo poor training.
