Donald is a beautiful 16.3 12yo homebred liver chestnut gelding by the world famous showjumper Don VHP Z (diamant de semilly x Voltaire) out of our Ramiro Z (laughtons flight x king of diamonds) 1.30 mare.
Donald is a grade B showjumper with £3,256 winnings, 1,196 points, jumping up to foxhunter level. He has jumped at county shows, stay aways, hickstead & qualified for the main ring multiple times placing 2nd in the 1.10 amateur final 2024. He gives a fantastic feel over a fence, is careful and can turn up against the clock often bringing home prizes. Although Donald has had a successful showjumping career we have made the sad decision to find him a new home as his heart is not in jumping the big tracks. He’s happy at lower heights and is looking for a varied life going to different parties not just showjumping week in and out. He’d love to do a bit of everything and have fun whether that’s dressage, hacking, sponsored rides, showing or hunting!
On the flat Donald is quite happy to plod about or knuckle down and work nicely, he does lateral work and changes and has done dressage tests as a youngster where he won and last year where he was 3rd in both his tests with one of our liveries riding him and scored good marks and comments from the judges. He could also excel in flat showing as a middleweight hunt type.
We’ve also taken Donald XC schooling which he enjoyed, jumping a lot of the intermediate fences at hickstead. We think he’d be an incredible hunt horse as he’s got the scope for the big hedges. He’s done limited hacking out, we don’t do much hacking on the roads as based on such a fast road so he’s never been on his own but it’s definitely something he’d enjoy and has been good in the traffic when out. He’s good to ride in the fields and canter in open spaces & is ridden by most the yard including small ladies & has been for group canters/gallops.
On the ground Donald is a big softy at heart and loves a scratch and cuddle. He’s excellent to clip, bath, plait, shoe, turnout, catch, load, travel, stand on lorry. He’s up to date with dentist, physio, vaccinations, worming, sheath cleaning, you name it!
The right home is of upmost importance for our lovely homebred boy so please still enquire as it’s more important than price, full history known and he has never had a vet bill or lameness issue, he’s an incredibly sound horse and open to any vetting. No nervous novices, although he’s easy he still needs a competent rider. Lingfield Surrey
