Marty is a seasoned hunter who had been out with foxhounds and draghounds before I bought him and since I’ve had him has done a full season with the South East Rural Charitable Trust (similar to drag hunting but no hounds). He really enjoys hunting and does not get strong or silly.

I have also introduced him to eventing and he has proved to be a very consistent BE80 horse and has also been double clear at BE90. BE name is Smarty Arty. This year results have included coming 1st and 5th in the BE80 at Blindley Heath and 3rd in the 80 at Munstead Cotswold Cup finishing on his dressage score of 29. He has never had a cross country fault (he has one error of course elimination on his record due to senile rider).

He is very well schooled and has been placed every time out unaffiliated/riding club dressage.

Good to hack and in traffic but prefers company.

Really lovely temperament and good to do in all ways including catch, clip, farrier and load (although I have only ever loaded him in a 3.5 tonne lorry). I am a petite lady amateur and take him out by myself and he is very easy to travel and handle at meets/competitions.

I am only selling him because I would like to step up the levels eventing/hedge hopping and feel that he is going to be happiest in a slightly lower level eventing/riding club/hunting home.

He is currently fit, sound and ready for the coming hunting season and/or to go out competing this winter. Open to any vetting.

Good home very important.
