16.3hh Grey Sport Horse Gelding – 16 years old
A striking, quality grey Sport Horse gelding with real presence, a kind genuine temperament and beautiful, expressive paces. He is an athletic, smart horse with a soft, balanced way of going, making him an exciting prospect for continued flatwork, low-level dressage or a quality all-round pleasure horse.
He has previously enjoyed showjumping and is forward-thinking, willing and straightforward in the school.
He has never bucked, reared or shown any form of malice and genuinely wants to do a good job. He thrives with a confident, competent rider who can give clear, consistent guidance and build a secure partnership.
He hacks out and continues to gain confidence in new environments. He is happiest hacking in company with a confident horse and benefits from routine and regular work.
On the ground he is polite, easy to handle and a real pleasure to have on the yard.
He can be turned out alone (provided he can see other horses) or happily with company and is currently turned out with another gelding.
He is good to clip, good with the farrier and is shod in front only.
Loading has not been tested during current ownership.
He is very much a yard favourite and is genuinely enjoyed by multiple riders.
He will be missed by everyone, which speaks volumes about his temperament and rideability. With more time and consistency he continues to improve and gain confidence.
Recently vetted, which noted:
a small tail melanoma
an old superficial scar to the left fore
slight thickening of the inferior check ligament
All findings are cold, non-painful and of no clinical significance. The vet confirmed these do not affect his suitability for hacking or pleasure riding.
He has not been lame during current ownership and has had no skin issues.
This is a genuine sale due to owner circumstances.
I took a risk purchasing him without viewing or trying first and, in hindsight, found myself slightly over-horsed.
He has been nothing but kind, willing and genuine throughout my ownership.
He would suit a confident, competent rider looking for a handsome, athletic partner to enjoy schooling, hacking and further development. With consistency and the right partnership, he will continue to flourish and build confidence.
Comes with tack and rugs
