Bruce is a 2010 Irish sports horse. His main discipline has been showjumping and he’s competed up to 1.40m internationally. He is very careful doesn’t like to hit a fence and he will help his rider out and take a miss. He’s fast against the clock, turns well and covers the ground being a big horse. Beautifully behaved at shows and never silly or fresh. He knows his job.
His current owner is a petite 5’1” amateur lady who bought him as a schoolmaster to gain confidence on and has has competed him successfully up to 1.10/1.15m showjumping, evented up to 100cm, done showing and hunted him.
He also qualified for the British Riding Club eventing championships in Swalcliffe by winning the qualifier at Poplar Park finishing on his dressage score.
He has hunted with local hunts and is impeccably behaved. He will stand at the meet, go in front or behind and jump anything in front of him including ditches.
He has also competed in the working hunter classes at the Royal Norfolk Show where he was placed and he was previously in a showing home where he won a number of novice workers and also did side saddle.
He is amazing to hack alone or in company and is safe in heavy traffic. My mother who is in her 70s previously hacked him before a knee operation as despite his size he is safe and solid.
Despite being a showjumper he has excelled in the dressage element of eventing as he is focused and does a lovely rhythmical test often in the 20s.
He is a quality horse, very well known and will only go to the best of homes. He is fit and still out competing bringing home rosettes and prize money.
Open to any vetting, never been sick or sorry. He is a good doer, will live in or out and will turn out alone or with others.
Only selling due to time restraints and personal/family circumstances.
