Freddie - 15.3hh TB 8 years old

Fred was raced a few times and retired sound in 2022 with no lumps, bumps or vices.

He is passported, microchipped and up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth, farrier and physio.

Fred is good to handle, load and clip. He stands well for the farrier and is currently shod. He comes to call and is always one of the first to greet you. However, he can be impatient at times so needs someone confident. He’s not nasty but is still young and will fidget and try his luck if he can.

Fred is your typical TB forward going ride so wouldn’t be suitable for a novice. He is never nasty under saddle and hasn’t bronked or bolted but has thrown an excited buck and will occasionally jog on the way home from a hack. He has been for canters in open spaces and pulls up fine going first or last. He likes to look at things when out and about but isn’t dangerous or unkind. He is good in traffic and has seen farm machinery.

Fred has done a bit of everything; Hacking, Schooling and jumping. He schools nicely in all three paces but is still slightly unbalanced due to inexperience. He’s been over coloured poles and rustic fences in both an outdoor and arena setting. All of which he seemed to enjoy proving honest and forward towards a fence.

Unfortunately, I have accepted that I do not have the confidence to do more with Fred and have realised he would be better suited to someone confident who wants to go out and so some all around local event. With the scope to do more.

Fred has had sarcoids removed in the past with no ongoing issues or reoccurrence. As well as treatment for ulcers which have been given the all clear by the vet. All of which we are happy to discuss with future owners.

He has a fitted saddle and bridle which can be sold at extra cost.

He can be tried at current yard with excellent hacking facilities and a large outdoor.

Message for more details, we are happy to discuss anything further and have lots of videos and photos.
This is a very sad and genuine sale and I really just want to find the best home for Fred where he will be loved and where he can reach his full potential and enjoy a more active lifestyle.
