NOT A NOVICE RIDE. NOT A FIRST HORSE.

Timber is seeking a confident, experienced home where his quirks will be met with patience and humour. He’s a fun, cheeky character who thrives with a rider who can guide him with calm authority and consistency.

On the ground, Timber is an absolute gem. He’s safe around children and dogs, easy to handle, and the definition of a "dope on a rope." He adores fuss and attention, always keen to be part of the action and every yard conversation.
Under saddle, Timber has a few tricks up his sleeve. He is not malicious or dangerous, but he does enjoy testing the boundaries every now and then — especially if he senses uncertainty. With a confident, experienced rider, his little tantrums are short-lived, and he quickly settles down and focuses on the job.

With consistent riding and routine, Timber has made excellent progress with myself and my trainer. He has three lovely paces, works in a soft outline, and has a super-comfy canter. He is clever, quick to learn, and genuinely wants to please once he trusts his rider. Timber is incredibly bold to a fence. He isn’t phased by fillers or colours, and gives 100% every time.

Hacking is one of Timber’s strong suits. He is incredibly level-headed, doesn’t get fizzy or silly in open spaces, and happily walks on the buckle. He genuinely enjoys exploring and always leaves the yard with a spring in his step. While he may occasionally nap, this is easily managed by a confident rider and doesn’t escalate.

As my first horse, Timber has proven to be a bit more than I can confidently manage — this is an incredibly tough decision, and he will only go to a five-star home where he’ll be understood, enjoyed and given the life he deserves.He deserves someone who can enjoy his big personality and give him the experiences he’s ready for.
