Harry is a really lovely horse with a very bright future ahead of him. He’s got plenty of jump, he’s easy to ride and he has that lovely attitude where you feel like he’s on your side.

He’s by Colandro, a son of Contendro I who has produced horses for both showjumping and eventing. His dam is by Touchdown, the Irish Sport Horse stallion by Galoubet A who jumped at the Barcelona Olympics for Ireland. Some fabulous breeding on both sides and Harry certainly got the jump!

He’s been out and jumped a good handful of Discoveries on a ticket and has jumped some bigger tracks at home. He’s got a good technique, plenty of scope and a real ‘come on then, let’s have a go’ attitude. He’d very happily go down the pure BS route, but he’s also done a little bit of cross-country and took it all in his stride. I could really see someone having a lovely winter with him and getting him out eventing next season.

On the flat he has three nice paces and is just a very easy horse to get on and ride. You can do a proper schooling session without him getting hot or making hard work of it, and there’s plenty there for someone to develop. Changes and started lateral work.

He’s been good to hack and would definitely vote for going out with his mates so he’s got someone to chat to! To be completely honest, he’s had a couple of moments on his own with us where he’s asked if we really need to go that way. A positive leg and off he goes without an argument. If you want to hack alone, you just need to be confident enough to give him that little push.

Good to shoe, load, clip and catch. He’s a big friendly giant on the ground who absolutely loves people and always wants to see what you’re up to.

A really genuine horse for someone who wants to go out and do a bit of everything, or take him showjumping and see just how much he’s got to give. We think a lot of this boy.
