Irish Leisure Horse | 6-Year-Old Black Gelding
Super Safe | True Gentleman | Schoolmaster | Cracking All-Rounder
Charlie is the perfect example of a kind, calm, and considerate horse. Both on the ground and under saddle, he is a true gentleman — incredibly safe, well-mannered, and a pleasure to have around.
He is an ideal choice for a competent novice, returning rider, or anyone looking to progress their riding in a safe and fun way. Charlie is steady, gentle, and easy-going, yet responsive to the leg and happy to move forward when asked. He offers three excellent, balanced paces with enthusiasm and a willing attitude.
Charlie is never spooky, sharp, or silly. He is calm and relaxed while remaining light and responsive to the rider. He loves to pop a jump or log and shows plenty of scope and confidence, making him a great prospect for dressage, showjumping, cross country, or hunting for someone who wants a versatile partner.
He is currently working in a riding school, where he is ridden by competent novice to experienced riders.
He takes everything in his stride, never pulls, rushes, or gets nervous, and approaches every ride with the same enthusiasm and good nature.
Charlie is extremely forgiving of mistakes, patient at the mounting block (will happily wait as long as needed), and unbothered by anything you throw at him. He is a truly exceptional confidence giver and family horse who loves attention, grooming, and a good pamper session.
No vices in the stable, field, or when ridden
Stands beautifully for grooming, bathing, farrier, dentist, and vet
Hacks alone or in company, front, middle, or back of ride
Snaffle-mouthed, no gadgets required
He lives happily in a mixed herd, is stabled during the day and turned out at night, and is equally content living out or being stabled full time. Charlie is not clingy and is fine being left on his own.
He is currently shod in front but would be equally happy barefoot or shod all round.
Charlie is extremely low maintenance — he doesn’t need daily riding, and can be left for weeks or months before being brought back into work with no fuss.
He has never been lame, never suffered laminitis, sweet itch, or sarcoids, and has no lumps or bumps.
He passes his annual Riding School Licence Inspection (equivalent to a 2-stage vetting).
Charlie has been there and done it, despite him being relatively young, he has conquered a lot, hacking, schooling, jumping, fun rides, beach rides, cross country, and hunting — always giving his rider total confidence.
This is a heartbreaking sale of a very special horse. We regularly change our stock to give our fantastic horses the chance to experience one-to-one private homes again. Charlie truly is one in a million and will make someone an incredible partner.
