We are sadly selling Blue due to education commitments. He has been with us for just over a year and although we haven’t done any competing, he has been an absolute gem and if we had time we would have been competing in show jumping and dressage.
He has beautiful paces and loves to be kept in work, hence we need him to go to a home that wants a fun all rounder, that will keep him busy.
He has been turned out with a mare and gelding on separate occasions and although he shoos them away when it’s food time he is never nasty.
He is good to load, shoe and amazing on the ground - he loves a pamper!
He is also a wonderful character and is very funny !
The downsides :
Blue has to have pads in his front shoes as he has dropped heels, I have tried him barefoot but he went foot sore so no shoes and pads is not an option. These are about £150 every six to eight weeks.
Blue can be a little spooky and needs a confident but kind rider, he is very good at reading your mood . He would suit a home that wants to compete dressage and show jumping, clearing excess of a meter with ease.
He does need bringing back into work as we have been very slack.
Due to these minor issues we are selling him at a price that reflects this.
He is a much loved horse and we will be devastated to see him go but currently he is a very expensive field ornament which is treated by mints by grandad !!
