Bertie is a substantial 17.2hh 5yo gelding who is showing enormous potential to be a high-level horse and Grand Prix prospect. He has three super paces with an active hindleg that steps under well and plenty of cadence with lots of knee action too. He has the right mechanics to make an extremely exciting horse for the future. He is light and responsive to ride with good energy.
He has been slowly produced, being lightly backed and hacked as a 4yo. He started his dressage education with me in June last year, he is being produced professionally and very correctly and not being rushed, allowing him to develop in a soft and natural manner to make a successful competition horse for the higher levels in the future.
He has a very good consistent BD record, competed at the winter regionals prelim gold taking everything in his stride and is qualified prelim gold summer regionals, he won his first novice test with 70.5% and was 3rd in his young horse class with 77.4%. He’s the easiest horse to take out a total pleasure I have taken him out on my own and he is the same out and about as at home. He is super working with other horses or on his own and used to others jumping in the arena when he’s in there.
He needs time to develop strength and balance, but he is such an exciting horse for high level dressage. He is ready to build a bond with his new owner he will be a hugely rewarding and fun horse to produce.
Bertie is a lovely horse on the ground. You can do anything with him; he is very laid back and affectionate, he does have an inquisitive nature and wants to be someones best friend.
He is a young horse and does require the correct professional setup as he can sometimes have a moment but nothing that is unseating just needs managing hence why he would be better either with a professional rider or a competent amateur who has professional support.
Due to his age and size he is not suitable for an inexperienced or nervous rider.
He hacks well in company but not brave enough on his own but is very good with traffic.
His full history is known and he is still owned by his breeder; he is vice free but does have a blemish on his knee, from an accident as a foal, which is cosmetic and does not affect him in anyway.
I would love to keep producing him for his new owners.
