Tommy
13 hands, age 12, Irish Skewbald Cob. Based in Derbyshire.
Tommy is making great progress with his schooling and whilst he still has much to learn, he has 3 lovely paces and will happily pop a small course of jumps, recently he jumped 70cm with ease. Has also done dressage with current jockey. Previously driven in the past (but not with us). Snaffle mouthed, he loves hacking and is bombproof out and about and not at all spooky.
He is upto date with the dentist, farrier, worming, vaccinations and physio. Great feet and is barefoot. Does have mild CPL, which is easily managed through clipping, diet and exercise.
Tommy can have some strong opinions on life, typical of a cob, and at times be bolshy on the ground. He definitely gets his confidence from whoever is handling / riding him so is not looking for a novice home but someone confident he can put his trust in and be his leader. He’d suit a confident teenager or adult looking to have fun and who is willing to put the work in to building a strong relationship with him.
For transparency, Tommy dislikes having his saddle put on and will lift his back leg in protest. This is a habit from a previous home. He has been checked by the physio regarding this and recently had a brand new saddle fitted to him. He can also be a bit stubborn regarding picking his feet when they are muddy. He needs firmer leadership than we can provide in all honesty.
Tommy will come with all of his tack (minus stirrups and leathers) and a full wardrobe of rugs. Open to offers to find him the right home ideally before Christmas.
