Bertie is a substantial 17.2hh 4yo 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 has been slowly produced, being lightly backed and hacked last year before having a winter break, then being started again this year. He started his dressage education with me 7 weeks ago, as such he is still green, but is being produced 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 is not a horse that is going to be ready to compete in the coming months as he needs time to develop strength and balance, but he will be super as a 5yo and well worth the wait. However, he is ready to go to clinics/arena hires, building a bond with him will be hugely rewarding.

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 someone’s best friend. He would suit an ambitious amateur supported by a professional rider.
Due to his age and size he is absolutely not suitable for an inexperienced or nervous rider. He needs someone confident who is used to young horses to give him confidence.

He hacks well in company.
His full history is known and he is still owned by his breeder; he has a full set of clean X-rays from 30th May 2025. 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. The right home is a must for this exceptionally talented horse, he is very sensibly priced.

Located North Dorset/Somerset boarder very accessible location.
