Fantastic Allrounder - 15hh, 9-Year-Old Stunning Cob X Gelding

Benson — an absolute stunner with a beautifully balanced conformation and a kind, genuine nature. He’s a super smart, eye-catching horse both inside and out, a versatile partner for a variety of pursuits.

Benson is a fun, honest, and sensible allrounder who truly loves to work. Not a kick-along plod, but forward-thinking and eager to please, he’s currently excelling in Pony Club activities and clinics alongside a relatively inexperienced 14-year-old rider giving her endless confidence and big smiles . His willing attitude and good temperament make him ideal for a rider looking to develop confidence and skill.

Absolutely fantastic jump, effortlessly popping around XC tracks at 90cm and happily skipping over 1m showjumping courses — with plenty of scope for more. He’s honest, reliable, and straightforward to ride in a snaffle, whether in the school or out hacking in open spaces always in a snaffle.

Benson has competed in unaffiliated dressage, showjumping, hunter trials, pony days, and camps. He has also worked in a riding school environment. While he’s a sturdy, sweet-natured type with athletic ability, he may be better suited to a slightly more experienced rider rather than a complete novice from the riding school as he works off the leg and has more engine than a true beginner would want, although he never does any thing nasty in any way.

He’s a pleasure to hack — unfazed by farm machinery, traffic, barking dogs, not spooky . No vices, and he’s up to date with vaccines and dentist.
