Marley is my 8 year old KWPN cross gelding standing 16.3/17hh.
I have owned him from a 2 year old but known him from a foal so full history known.
His dam is a 17.2 KWPN jumping mare, sire 15hh sports pony (Diamond storm Murphy) by the prolific Stormhill Mink.
Marley has excellent conformation, straight moving with no lumps or bumps. He has 3 exceptionally balanced paces and is very agile and athletic to go with it. He schools beautifully from the seat and soft to the hand. He find lateral work very easy, leg yield, shoulder in and simple flying changes, medium and extended trot.
Marley will hack out alone or in company and has never bucked, reared, bolted etc. although he may have a little spook at things, he always goes past ANYTHING.
I have had Marley out to unaffiliated dressage and jumping along with many clinics and camps covering jumping and XC where he excels. He is keen and loves to jump with a bold, brave and careful jump. I have schooled him upto 105cm which he does with ease (but I’m no showjumper) and told he is a 120cm horse all day long. At the last clinic (Somerford park) the instructor told me she expected my eventing debut by the end of this season.
He is ready to progress his career now with someone who can take him out places and do more with him.
Although he is a safe horse, he is not a novice ride and requires light sympathetic rider as he is a sensitive ride (but in no way silly). Like I say, he’s never bucked, bolted, reared at all.
I am sadly parting with my heart horse due to my own personal circumstances and health as he deserves to be out doing what he loves - a job!!
He has never been sick or sorry a day in his life and open to any vettings etc. he is perfect to load and travel. Great with farrier (I have him unshod as he has great feet so never been shod) perfect to trim and clip. I only do half face as he doesn’t like clippers around his ears.
Upto date with teeth, back and vaccinations. Lots of pics and vids available.
This is the hardest decision I have had to make and would love to see Marley go to a home ideally to event but with a varied job as he deserves the best.
