Sad sale of kind yet quality 16hh TB gelding.

Only seven years-old but definitely has an old head on young shoulders. Bought on a whim after years of not having a horse to hack out alongside my daughter and done the job perfectly. Always the same, never any different if not ridden for a few weeks. Stands at mounting block, goes on own or in company.

He has raced - retiring sound with one win - and went straight into a very capable hunting home (he is amazing at opening gates!), coming to me when his owner moved abroad for work.

He then has been my OAP hack, spending the last few weeks on a professional yard jumping coloured poles for the first time and learning to come into an outline. An instant yard favourite because of his easy going nature - nannying youngsters within a few days of arriving! - showing willingness to learn and potential.

He will make the right family a super allrounder. Ideally hoping for a long-term home, maybe riding club or mother and daughter share? Kind enough to be ridden by a capable child coming off ponies and quality enough for working hunters or RoR (Dubawi breeding).

Has lived on own and with company. None of the usual ex-racehorse vices. Easy to shoe, box, clip etc. Very mannerly and easy.

Photos of him hunting (he did 30-plus days and was good with hounds) in his last home available on request.

While he is on schooling livery at the moment, he is only half an hour from his ‘family’ home and viewers would be welcome to pop in and see where he has been living.

He is a much-loved chap, kind and genuine so finding him a good home is more important than price. Do please ask any questions.
