Milo is an absolutely gorgeous 16h 12 year old chestnut Irish Sports Horse gelding
For sale on behalf of his owner
Milo is one in a million who has so much class, quality and potential with the most amazing temperament to match. He is a very well-bred ISH with his sire line going back to Darco. He is the perfect quality stamp of a horse. He is a very desirable type who would suit a wide audience of riders from teenagers coming off ponies, to adults alike. He has good conformation and straight movement. He does have a few scars which are purely cosmetic so he wouldn’t be suitable for the show ring but he will do every other job. He is the full package to excel across all riding disciplines which makes him the perfect alrounder/eventer. He also has experience in every discipline and really knows his job and loves his work. He has the most amazing temperament and attitude making him a yard favourite.
Milo schools beautifully on the flat, he has a lovely relaxed way of going with nice movement. He has three good paces, his canter is beautifully balanced and collected, you could sit to it all day. He is soft in the hand and works very nicely up to the contact in a lovely outline. He is ridden in a snaffle for every discipline. He is nicely forward going to ride and responsive to the riders aids. He is very straight forward in the sense that you don’t have to do much, he does it all for you. He is a very safe and sane ride who does give his rider confidence. He has been ridden by a range of different riders including a 14 year old girl and an older gentleman and he is very adaptable to each rider. He gives his rider such a lovely feel and really makes you feel good about yourself; he has super ridability. He is schooling elementary level at home with the potential to go much higher than this. He has competed successfully at unaffiliated preliminary and novice level dressage with his previous owner and was placed with high 60 percent scores.
Milo loves his jumping and makes a nice scopey shape. He is forward going into a fence and is very honest and genuine to jump. He is very bold and jumps all fillers and water trays first attempt confidently. He knows his job well and will go on a short or long stride and help his rider out. He is very ridable around a course of fences and nicely balanced around tight turns and does flying changes where necessary. He has competed successfully at unaffiliated sj up to 110cm with ease with his previous owner. He has scope to jump higher tracks if his rider desired to. He would definitely go BS. He would also excel at riding club level and be perfect to take on jumping clinis ect. He would be the perfect step up from ponies.
Milo is equally as bold over xc jumps. He is a real xc machine, point and aim type who is very genuine. He really enjoys going xc and has plenty of pace to make the time at events. He jumps everything asked of him including ditches and water complexes. He is a very straight forward ride and takes his rider into the fences nice and confidently. He really gives his rider confidence as he is very genuine and loves his jumping and doesn’t get strong or silly. He has done lots of xc schooling and hunter trails where he has been placed. He is a very honest dependable horse who always gets round clear and is lots of fun. He has also done a few unaffiliated ODE’s at 90cm which he excelled at. He has so much potential to excel as an eventer as he is very good at all 3 disciplines and has a very ground covering gallop where he would easily make the xc time. I can see him making a fabulous grass roots eventer as well as being very competitive up through the levels.
Milo is lovely to hack both alone and in company. He is excellent in traffic and very confident in his own skin. He is very sensible in open spaces and not at all sharp or spooky. He prefers to lead than follow but he is still easy enough to ride in behind.
Milo has a great kind temperament. He puts a smile on your face every day. He loves people and will make someone an amazing best friend. He is always good to catch and lead in. He loves all the attention of being groomed and pampered. He is very easy to handle in all ways. He lives in and out and is happy be turned out next to or in with other horses. He is great to shoe, wash and load. He is also very straight forward to ride at new places. He really is such a genuine honest horse who deserves the best of homes.
Milo is the ultimate alrounder that everyone is looking for. He can turn his hoof to any job and is very versatile. He would be very suitable for a competent teenager coming off ponies. He would also suit an adult wanting to go out competing in any discipline and have fun together. He would also be a fabulous event horse as he has bags of talent across all 3 disciplines. He must sell to a 5* home. His owner is now 70 and has reached the end of his riding days but wants the best for Milo and wants him to continue to still have a job as he loves his work.
