Henley is a striking, kind, and sensible 16.1hh 7-year-old Irish Sport Horse (Green Book) by Dunbeggan Grey Mist, out of a thoroughbred mare. Carefully and correctly produced with the help of a professional rider, he’s been brought on slowly with longevity and soundness in mind.
Flat:
Henley is working sweetly on the flat in a soft, elastic contact. He has flashy, expressive paces and has started lateral work. Not sharp, more of a leg on type. He’s competed successfully unaffiliated, regularly scoring in the high 60s and 70s, placing or winning.
Jump:
He has taken part in arena hires, clinics, camps, ODE, SJ and XC. Jumping 1m at home and 85cm competitively currently. Bold and honest to a fence, he has great technique, scope, and never gets strong or silly. While he still has the occasional green moment he is brave and straightforward.
Temperament & Suitability:
Henley is full of character and loves a cuddle! He’s never sharp and has a trainable attitude, a sensible horse who enjoys variety in his work. He hacks out confidently, happy alone or in company, not bothered by farm or road traffic, and has been a confidence-giver to a more nervous rider, particularly on the roads. In the school, he will also step down and look after a less experienced rider, although he is best suited to an experienced, competitive home with a competent amateur or professional who can continue his learning and reach his full potential.
Manners & Management:
• Loads and Travels in both trailer and lorry.
• Stands to clip, for dentist and for the farrier.
• Regular physio, and chiropractor.
• No history of injury or illness – full vet history available.
• Always in a snaffle.
Henley is fit, sound, and ready to get out and compete. Sadly offered for sale due to a change in owner’s circumstances, the right home is essential for this lovable boy.
Based in Burntwood.
