Gautby Basil

• Shire
• Brown
• Gelding
• 8 years
• 19.1 hands

• So much potential for showing, dressage or to just be the coolest leisure horse around!

Very sad to announce that Basil must find a new owner, through no fault of his own.

We adore him and would absolutely love to see him give someone as much fun as he has given us, a good long term home is our priority.

Basil does not insist on being sporty, he’d love a hacking in company life really, and wow is he comfy!

8 year old, apx 19.1+ brown dappled shire gelding.

Before you get too excited, he is over a tonne of ADHD, and in fear of invisible things on a daily basis - so can be a handful to manage and needs consistent attention to contain the beast whilst getting him into a routine, he’s not dangerous he just lives on high alert when not in his bedroom or under saddle, but in reality he’s a wimp and actually just wants you to hold his hand while whatever scares him passes or you pass it.

That being said, he has matured enormously since coming to me last year and rides through most of his issues easily. He’s at his spookiest at home, rarely does he look at anything while out/shows etc

He has been to several shows including his first stay away this year at The National Shire Show. He had great results including being pulled 6th in his first HOYS qualifier in a very big and strong class to finish 9th. He has always behaved impeccably at shows and tends to need minimal working in

He will do pretty much anything you’d like, if you are capable of doing it too, he’s a team player not a leader. He genuinely is a rarity though with so much potential for showing, dressage or to just be the coolest leisure horse around!

You will be eternally entertained and in love, guaranteed.
