Eddie is a beautifully bred, well-produced young horse with an outstanding temperament and huge potential as a classy competition horse. I purchased him as a foal, so his full history is known, and he has been carefully and correctly brought on with no corners cut.

Eddie was foot-perfect to back and has retained a wonderfully positive, trainable attitude with everything we’ve asked of him. He is schooling beautifully and softly on the flat and confidently jumping courses of 80cm+. He shows natural scope, never spooks at fillers/water trays etc. I ride him in an eggbutt snaffle for everything.

He recently went to his first clear round training show where he behaved impeccably, both in the busy warm-up arena and over unfamiliar fences. Eddie has also been cross-country schooling, jumping logs, skinnies, ditches, steps, and water without hesitation.

Eddie is excellent to handle in every respect. He has front shoes, stands quietly for the farrier and dentist, loads and travels well in a 12t horsebox, and happily ties up outside at events. He has accompanied me to BE competitions, taking the atmosphere in his stride.

Eddie has been produced in a professional rehabilitation and competition yard, benefitting from first-class care throughout his life. He regularly sees the physio, uses the water treadmill weekly, and has always had routine farriery, worm counts, worming, and vaccinations kept fully up to date.

Eddie has excellent conformation, clean limbs, and straight movement. He has never had any medical issues.
Eddie was awarded a High Silver Premium in the 2022 British Breeding Virtual Futurity as a yearling, praised for his type and conformation.

Breeding:
Eddie combines proven Thoroughbred eventing lines with top-class jumping blood.
• Sire: Tajraasi xx – legendary Thoroughbred stallion, highly regarded as a sire of 5* event horses, praised by top riders including Oliver Townend and Richard Jones. Offspring include Alfie’s Clover (multiple 5* top 10 placings, including 7th Burghley 2022, 10th Badminton 2022) and Kilballyboy Bob (4th Blenheim 4*S 2018).
• Dam: A versatile mare who competed up to 1.20m in Holland before becoming a much-loved allrounder in the UK. By Casmir Z (sired by the legendary 1.60m jumper Carthago), her damline has produced numerous successful competition horses, including 1.45m showjumpers and eventers to 3* level.

Eddie is a much-loved member of the yard and is only available due to reducing numbers. At 15.2hh, he will be too small for me long-term, as I prefer horses 16.3hh+. A 5* home is essential.

Location: Ashington, West Sussex
