King Arthur is a 16.1hh chestnut gelding by Koro D’or, a standout sporting prospect with a correct, tight-coupled, athletic build. He combines elegance with uphill movement that catches the eye in every arena. Smart, trainable, and beautifully composed, Arthur moves with a natural presence that sets him apart.

This is the most mannerly hunter I’ve known. He has hunted two seasons in Ireland, carrying a small amateur female rider to jump the biggest country, and has hunted with the Coakham bloodhounds this season, proving himself a true gentleman. He happily takes a prominent position at the front or sits calmly behind. He stands on point, is extremely polite, and is fearless over ditches, rails, and the most trap-laden country. He would suit a role whipping in, or as a huntsman mount or secretary’s ride, and he’s brave enough to lead the field, or polite enough to escort the children out for the day - even ride one handed!

His cross-country prowess is exceptional, whether in hunter trials, pairs relays, or team chases. On the hunt field, Arthur remains polite and well-mannered even in the trickiest terrain, tackling the biggest, most challenging country with class and ease he has given me the best days out hunting I’ve had in years!!

Beyond hunting, Arthur is well started across disciplines and shows enormous potential as a serious grassroots contender for the upcoming event season. With scope, bravery, and a touch of finishing, he could progress rapidly to the next level. The basics are solid, and he already displays boldness, scope, and genuine talent for the sport. He has arena evented and schooled at Hickstead this season .

Athletic and confident over show jumps, he trains comfortably and has recorded double clear rounds at 1m with an amateur rider. Arthur would be an outstanding partner for a rider looking to develop further—whether as a top-end riding club partner/pony club or a serious competition horse.

He’s a joy to have on the ground and under saddle - the kindest, most cooperative horse to look after, a true gentleman in every respect. No vices.
