How have I still got my handsome boy for sale and only had 1 viewing!
Sad sale of my lovely boy only 5** home
15/15.1hh 5 rising 6 (in July) year old green book Connemara gelding with good breeding.
He is a striking unusual silver dun colour.
In Ireland he has previously competed and has 8SJI points in 80cm and 90cm.
Owned since he was a 4 year old and has done a variety while being with me from hacking, riding in big open fields and cross country schooling.
He went Out to his first competition in the uk at the end of last year and did a 75cm arena eventing coming home with a second place rosette. He stood on the lorry while being left to find out results and was fabulous. He is the same at a competition as he is at home.
He has also done xc schooling on grass and on a surface,
He hacks alone and in company like a schoolmaster and can hack for miles he really enjoys it, he has seen a variety of traffic both alone and in company. Has hacked in the heavy winds and doesn’t bat an eyelid.
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 also popped random logs when he has been riding in the field.
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 just started doing some lateral movements both practicing in the school and out on hacks which he is picking up easily.
He has seen a variety of fillers/watertrays, rustic, coloured fences and logs and nothing fazes him, he really enjoys his jumping he is very bold and brave and goes off any stride.
He is snaffle mouthed at all times.
He is fully shod, and upto date with everything, he gets everything regularly checked and done.
He has been loose schooled and loose jumped aswell as been lunged
He had a full check at the end of last year (saddle, teeth, physio, sheath clean etc) and there was a slight change in one of his hocks after being x-rayed so I have had this injected with Alfa2. This doesn’t cause him any issues. Apart from this he has never been sick or sorry in the whole time I’ve owned him.
This decision has not been easy but I need to do what’s best for him and me, I believe in the right home he will go from strength to strength
He is in full work and enjoying himself in a varied work going out on hacks for miles, jumping, lunging and the odd day of schooling.
Competent home sought for my special boy, although he has never done anything he is not suitable for a novice due to his age.
Priced to sell which someone will get a bargain for the quality fun horse he is.
Tack avaliable separately
