It’s with a heavy heart that I offer Skeldon Moor Jasper for sale. I’ve had the absolute pleasure of owning this special boy his entire life, having brought him home as an 8-month-old foal. He’s grown into the kindest, most genuine horse you could wish to meet.

Jasper is a true gentle giant – kind, patient, and full of character. He lives out 24/7, is a good doer, and generally an easy keeper. Broken to ride later in life, he’s had a relaxed upbringing and now enjoys a steady pace. He’s still green in the school, but shines as a happy hacker – confident alone or in company.

• Ridden and handled by children
• Safe and sensible, though strong due to his size – not suitable for complete novices
• Good ground manners, stands perfectly to be groomed and fussed over
• Bombproof in traffic, though he may spook at rattling noises behind him (e.g. trailers)
• Needs shoeing every 8 weeks for road work – managed barefoot on soft ground when not in regular work
• Loading requires patience – he loads with training but we don’t currently have a lorry on the yard to maintain the practice

Jasper is a confidence giver, a steady companion, and a much-loved member of the family. Finding him the perfect 5* home is my top priority – he deserves nothing less.
