16’2 Irish Gelding 14 years. Unrecorded breeding but ID type. A superb horse for someone on a restricted purchase budget who is willing to accommodate managed allergies. We are in no rush to move him on so the right owner and home is the priority.
Stan has been with us for seven years and is a really lovable character who Jumps, hacks and has hunted. He has been on horse holidays and stay away camps. He will school in an arena and is obedient. He will look after his rider around a course of SJ. Stan is fabulous to handle and do - catch, clip, shoe, teeth etc. Fully up to date with vaccinations / teeth etc
Stan is a real dude ! He has a brilliant personality and is alert and aware of his surroundings. Stan is a safe and very genuine horse but takes his confidence from his rider and so is not for a beginner, novice or nervous person.
Stan is offered at a very realistic price due to his allergies which we have successfully managed. He suffers with itching / sweet itch - he has the annual insol vaccination and this works for him - no mane rubbing or being driven to distraction by midges so it is worth every penny to do this for him (annual Insol cost atm £240). Stan in the Summer when pollen is high will nod his head on occasions when being ridden and so we do feel he is a mild head shaker. We manage this riding him in a PE Lycra face mask with a nose net and ear / eye nets. Stan has never been lame, sick or sorry across our entire ownership and full veterinary history is available to a buyer. Stan is being advertised at this time of year for total transparency and for prospective buyers to see a genuine representation of him. In Winter Stan is not affected at all with climate conditions. In Summer - the limitation would be considering shorter rides or early morning outings for him on the days where pollen etc affects him.
An ideal home may be with someone who wants to hunt throughout Autumn / Winter and then lightly hack in Summer. Or someone who wants an all rounder all year through but is content to hack / ride to fit around Stan rather than Stan needing to fit around an inflexible schedule. Stan is a really smart family horse who is offered for sale at a realistic price to reflect his allergies. A private long term home is sought and we would like to stay in touch with future owners.
