- Unusual silver dun colour
15/15.1hh 5 rising 6 year old green book Connemara gelding with good breeding.
Roger is an unusual silver dun colour and has been with me for almost 18months.
In Ireland he has previously competed and has 8SJI points.
When he came to me in the uk we have let him mature a bit as he was only a 4 year old at the time and worked him slowly as I had time out of the saddle before buying him.
He went Out to his first competition in the uk at the end of last year and did a big 75cm arena eventing coming home with a second place rosette (he was only 0.8 seconds off getting the first place!)
He has also done xc schooling on grass and on a surface,
Roger hacks alone and in company like a schoolmaster and can hack for miles he really enjoys it, he has seen a variety of traffic.
He is amazing in open fields Im a very nervous rider in them and he looks after me and goes the speed that I’m happy with.
He has 3 correct paces and thrives in a consistent varied work, he will do his flatwork but he is not a dressage horse he loves his jumping, hacking, fieldwork and xc so a home that will do a bit of everything is ideal.
He has seen a variety of fillers/watertrays, rustic, coloured fences and logs and nothing fazes him, he really enjoys his jumping.
He is fully shod, and upto date with everything, he gets everything regularly checked and done.
Now his bad points he is strong to be let in and out of the field but with a firm handler he is fine.
He thrives on his routine and consistency
He had a full MOT at the end of last year and there was a slight change in one of his hocks after being x-rayed so I have had this injected with Alfa2.
This decision has not been easy but I need to do what’s best for him and me, he would benefit from a competition type home to reach his full potential .
Due to his age he will not be sold to a novice or nervous rider, only someone experienced who will further his education and have a lot of fun with him, he deserves a home that is going to make him thrive and get the best out of him.
Experienced riders only
He has had some time off recently due to me going into hospital (not horse related) so is slowly being brought back into work with my trainer at her yard
