Orlando’s lady owner is approaching 60 with gusto and has a rekindled passion for showjumping that just won’t go away. She wants to compete BS newcomers and more + sunshine tour (bucket list) and, despite pouring her heart and soul into him, she recognises he’s not the horse to take her there. (If only there was enough money for 2!).

Orlando is such a sweetheart, he will make the perfect forever partner for someone very lucky who wants to do a bit of everything and/or perhaps just focus on dressage (his superpower). Vice free, up to date with everything, open vet, easy to load, travel, clip, shoe, vaccinate, lunge, lead, hack, bath, cuddle - this exceptional horse has is all.

The owner is our yard manager, I’ve been appointed Head Girl to field initial enquiries and project manage viewings, but Sally will be present throughout. To express an interest, please call me in the first instance (Tracy) 07808 365253.

Serious enquiries only, excellent facilities, based West Devon near Tavistock.
