Tickles is an absolutely gorgeous 15.3h bay rising 5 year old registered Connemara gelding.

Tickles is one in a million who has so much class, quality and potential with the most amazing temperament to match. He is very well bred full Connemara with 5 generations of class 1 pedigree recorded. He is N/N for hoof-wall and has fabulous feet. He is a gorgeous rich bay which is very unique for a Connemara as so many are grey. He has a very handsome head with a kind eye that just draws people to him. He is a super stamp with a real leg in each corner, good depth of girth and a good amount of bone. He is the perfect size for both adults and teenagers to ride, which makes him a super mother/ daughter share type. He is a very desirable type that will do lots of jobs and has the added bonus of being a Connemara in horse size, so for all Connie lovers that have out grown 14.2h ponies he would be an ideal step up. He has excellent conformation and has straight movement. He is like an over grown Labrador with a very generous “can do” willing attitude that he brings to everything he does. He is lovely now but has so much more to come with a very exciting future ahead of him.

Tickles has three super paces and works nicely on the flat. He has a very soft snaffle mouth with a lovely contact feel. He works correctly between leg and hand into a soft outline. He is on the steady side of medium to ride, where you can nicely get your leg on him. He is not at all sharp or hot. So he would suit a rider who is used to using some leg. He is a very good boy to ride with no ridden vices, he acts more like an 8 year old. He is a safe sensible ride who gives his rider confidence. I wouldn’t like him to go to a novice as although he is very straight forward he is still young and isn’t the finished product just yet. I just think he deserves a rider who knows what they are doing. He is a very easier youngster who has had the correct start and would be easy enough for a competent teen coming off ponies to produce further. He has such a lovely attitude to his work and is a quick learner who always has a smile on his face. He has potential to excel in dressage, he has been out to arena hires and is now ready to go to a competition and work his way through the levels.

Tickles loves his jumping and makes a lovely shape over a fence. He is very honest and genuine to jump. He doesn’t get at all strong or fizzy, juts super easy and straight forward. He is nice and brave and jumps all fillers and water trays first attempt confidently. He has been to several jumping arena hires and training clear rounds where he has shown lots of potential for all riding club competitions ect. He hasn’t been over jumped or rushed as his future has been a top priority. He has jumped around 80cm courses currently with potential to jump higher. He is very good to ride at new places and has a very good attitude to his jumping. He is now ready to go out competing. He is equally as bold over xc jumps. He was very ridable and jumped everything asked of him in a sensible manner including water and ditches. He is a very straight forward ride and takes his rider into the fences nice and confidently. I can see him really excelling as a top end riding club horse as well as an eventer as he is brilliant at all 3 disciplines. He would make a super Badminton grass roots prospect.

Tickles is lovely to hack. He has mainly hacked out in company as we are on a main through road but he has hacked alone in his previous home on quieter lanes. He is good in traffic, if a large lorry or tractor comes past we just stand in a driveway and let him look at it but hes a very good boy. He is brilliant in open spaces, very sane and sensible. He is very mannerly and will canter happily in any order on an easy rein, hes not at all competitive. He has been on pleasure rides which he loves and is so much fun. He has also been to the beach where he was a dream and went in the sea giving his rider so much fun. He would be very well suited to someone wanting to combine pleasure rides with competing, or equally just one or the other. Equally he would be lovely for mum to hack whilst daughter competes.

Tickles has a superb kind friendly temperament. Hes like an over grown Labrador. He loves people and will make someone an amazing best friend as he is so interactive and forms a really strong bond. He loves all the attention of being groomed and pampered. He is a good to handle in all ways. He lives in and out and is happy turned out next to or in with other horses, he is very quiet in the field and gets on well with all horses and ponies. He is currently turned out over night with a mare. He is good to shoe, bath, catch, lead ect. He loads perfectly (single handed) and travels like a dream. He really is such a genuine honest horse who deserves the best of homes. You can’t quite believe how friendly and kind he is until you meet him! Hes a real yard favourite.
Tickles would be very suitable for a competent teenager coming off ponies and adults alike. He would make a fabulous riding club alrounder/ dressage/ event horse. He would also suit a home wanting to do hacking and pleasure rides as he is a very sensible boy.

Comes with a recent 5 stage vetting from August and open to another vetting.
