6yo, full Connemara gelding. Class 1 breeding.

Jacob has been with me since an unbroken 4 year old and has been a total pleasure to produce! Broken in by myself, he has not been rushed but I feel he has seen a good amount of life and has a good bit of competition experience under his belt.

Schools nicely on the flat, moves well with three good paces, very easy to ride and gives you a lovely feel. He has been out to some unaffiliated dressage where he has always come home in the ribbons. He loves to jump and has a huge amount of scope unphased by fillers etc and been to lots of unaffiliated shows. Xc schooled where he has always been brave and bold to everything. Currently jumping 80/90 with scope to go bigger and could definitely contest the badminton grass roots classes with great success! I prefer showjumping, so have mainly gone down that route.

His main job with me has been trail hunting and he is absolutely top class! Stands quietly at the meet, happy to go off on his own or sit in the field and jumps anything. Great at gates, brilliant with hounds; lots of videos of him at the front on days he’s had to come to the rescue. Happy to be clambered onto from a gate, wall, fence etc. He’s out at least once a week and will happily go twice where needed !

Brilliant to hack alone and in company, good with all traffic. Often used to nanny the babies - rides and leads or will be lead off another. Super easy to have at home and take to shows - I go everywhere with him on my own and he is just the sweetest chap to take anywhere !

Good to catch, load, travel, shoe and clip etc. Up to date with all his vaccines and the dentist.

He has a splint on his back leg from a kick he got in the field as a 4YO. Recently passed a 5 stage vetting with a few small inactive sarcoids noted. These aren’t in areas the tack sits and do not affect him in any way. To reflect this, he is available at a significantly lower price tag than what he is worth.

Jacob is an incredibly versatile chap who will be a total bargain for someone on a tighter budget. He would be great fun for a small adult or equally sensible enough for a confident teen.

Fit and ready to go.

Only available to the best of homes, as I have a queue of young ones next year. A really special chap, someone will be so so lucky ! 🦄🍀
