Gorgeous George is a 16.2h 13 year old registered warmblood bay gelding. He is absolutely stunning inside and out and looks a real picture of health with his gleaming bright coat. He catches the eye where ever he goes with his generous kind eye. He is a real quality horse with very good conformation, clean limbs, no blemishes and straight movement. He is a very nice stamp who would appeal to a lady, gent or a competent teenager. He would be perfect for someone wanting to do some dressage, hacking, pleasure rides and clinics. He loves a varied lifestyle and really thrives on his work, yet he doesn’t need daily riding as never gets sharp or fresh. He has a wonderful friendly temperament and is perfect to do in all ways and forms a very strong bond with his owner. He is just a real pleasure who will put a smile on your face very day.
George has 3 very good paces and schools beautifully on the flat giving you a real quality feeling. He has a great walk where he really opens his shoulder and has a big over track. His trot is nice and active with lots of adjustability through the paces within the trot. His canter is very uphill and comfortable; you could sit to it all day long. He works in a correct outline between hand and leg, he’s nice and light in the hand and likes an elastic contact, he wouldn’t like a heavy handed rider. He is snaffle mouthed. He is a forward going ride who is nicely responsive to aids and transitions. He is a real pleasure to ride as you don’t have to keep nagging him with your leg and equalling you don’t have to keep pulling him back. He appreciates a quiet rider with some feel who is used to riding a responsive quality horse. He is a safe ride who makes his rider feel confident as he isn’t at all spooky or sharp. He is the sort of horse where you have to learn his buttons to get the most out of him but he is very rewarding as he makes you ride properly. He is schooling at elementary level and is established with lateral work. He has competed lots at unaffiliated preliminary and novice dressage in his previous home with good scores showing lots of promise to move up the levels. He is ready to affiliate and go out and compete BD. He has also been out to lots of clinics including pole work clinics which he really enjoys. He is easy to take out to places and rides the same as he does at home filling you with confidence.
George loves to hack both alone and in company and really is a superb hack. He is safe and sensible but has so much quality too which is hard to come across. He is like a Rolls Royce to ride, he is nicely forward going and has lots of manners. He hacks straight out on a main through road and is good with traffic, just likes a little space from big traffic like lorries and tractors, I just pull into a driveway and stand and wait for the lorry to pass and he stands rock solid and patiently waits. He is confident in his own skin and doesn’t rely on other horses for his confidence out hacking. I hack him out for miles on his own and he gives me such a lovely ride. He is very sensible in open spaces too and you can just hold the buckle and he will just walk along without trying to rush off. He is fabulous on pleasure rides, I feel he really loves these; he will go in any order in a calm relaxed manner. He is perfect to ride on the beach, again he is very chilled out and waits to be asked to trot and canter. He gave me and my friends so much fun on the beach; we all had a ride on him! He is amazing to canter along river banks; he isn’t spooky with birds flying out in front of him. A friend of mine has hacked him out a few times who has recently had a baby and hasn’t ridden for months and George instilled so much confidence into her and made her feel very safe. He really is a delight to hack and will offer his rider so much fun. He is the definition of a posh hack.
George has evented in the past and does have a bold scopey jump however I feel that he doesn’t enjoy the jumping anymore, he doesn’t stop at jumps, he just rushes. I haven’t personally jumped him though as I bought him purely for dressage and pleasure rides/hacking. So there is no reason why he couldn’t learn to enjoy jumping with an experienced jump rider however I would prefer him to go to a flatwork/hacking home as I think a lot of George and want him to be happy.
George has such a fantastic temperament, he is a real gentleman with manners to urn. He loves people and having attention, he forms such a strong bond with his owner. He is perfect to lead, groom, tack up, with the farrier, to clip ect. He loves and thrives off his routine of night turnout and coming in during the day, however hes great with the reverse and equally he stayed stabled 24/7 for odd weeks when it got too wet to turnout. He turns out individually or mixes well with other geldings. He is very easy to have around and always puts a smile on my face. He is such a lovely interactive character that just fills your heart. George must go to a 10* home where he will be loved and cherish, he really deserves this!
George would love to go to a home where he will get a varied workload with some schooling, hacking, fun rides and the odd clinic thrown in, he loves variety and also lunges and does ground work very well too. He would make someone a superb dressage horse, posh hack and fun pleasure ride horse. He really does have so much to offer and will be a horse of a life time! I would love to stay in touch with George. Please call or message for more information and to arrange a viewing. Lots of photos and videos available via whatsapp. Based in Ramsey Cambridgeshireire.
