Bam is a striking, cheeky gelding with bags of character, who is now looking for a new home due to my work commitments and having another horse in full-time work - Bam deserves his own person!
On the ground:-
* Happy coming in and going out to the field with others or on his own (I lead him with my mare), however, he will try and nibble you as he thinks its fun!
*Has been turned out in a herd (2 others) and been on his own more recently, and is happy with both. He does love other horses! Can be playful in the field as he likes to take other horses' flymasks off!
*Good to tack up, tie up and handle
*Polite in the stable and around feed times
*Great with the farrier
* Can get stroppy with the dentist, but no sedation needed
*Fine to be clipped
Ridden:-
* He loves hacking -alone or in company . I would love him to go to a home where hacking through the countryside would be his primary focus
* Enjoys pole and jump clinics
* Prefers not to be in the school too much, but is happy with a couple of times a week
* Not strong, pulls up lovely in canter and safe out in open spaces. Prefers to be upfront
* HOWEVER, Bam is a sassy warmblood at times. 90% he is great, but he will buck! It might be through excitement or petulance. You need to have the confidence to ride him through these. He is not malicious, just tries it on!
Health:-
* Bam has fibrotic myopathy - doesn't affect his work as an all round low level horse, but he will need regular physio, and he is better being fit - Despite having beautiful paces, he would not score well in a dressage test. ** Happy to chat about his condition with people**
* Bam is in great health, though and is very happy in the work he is currently doing
* Regular physio and good strengthening exercises are a must!
* He will not pass a vetting
So if you are looking for a stunning boy, with presence and a big cheeky personality, who will be your best hacking partner, and keep you on your toes, he could be just for you!
I am gutted to be selling Bam and would like to stay in touch with his new owners. He means the world to me, and that's why I have made this hard decision to let him have his own person on a 121 basis. Full history known from breeders
Based just outside Cirencester, great facilities and hacking in Cirencester park, so you can fully try him. He will only go to the best home
