Big Simon. Lovely big hunter or happy hacker

Towering over me at approx 16.3/17hh this big lad is full of character. He was bred in Ireland and brought over here in October by the lady I got him from. He is a registered Irish sports horse with recorded breeding. Centennial x PJs delight

He turns 6 this year and is a big sensible lump of a horse with tons more growing to do. We’ve hacked him out alone and in company and he is sensible in the heaviest of traffic.

I’ve ridden him in the school in walk, trot and canter and popped a couple of cross poles and he is genuine and willing but just has some building up behind and top line to do so I’ve been focusing on lunging in the Pessoa with lots of flat work and hacking and again he is sensible to do. He is snaffle mouthed. I’ve pinged him over a couple of jumps on the lunge and he is willing and careful showing scope.

He’s very funny to have in the stable, picks his bucket up and throws it around, hooks on the door, nudges you for cuddles. Plays with all the toys. He can pull faces but nothing comes of it he’s just a cheeky boy and I feel like we have a great bond already! He loves our big dog and is gentle with my toddler when he’s playing near his stable.

He’s good to catch, load and shoe and is wormed to date. He stands well to be mounted at a block and my husband can hack him out happily who is quite novice.

He’d make a perfect happy hacker, hunter or project for someone to produce this coming season. He does have a bit of thickening on his offside fetlock but he trots up and flexes sound on it. I understand it’s an old injury and he is sound.

He is a big young horse so does require a knowledgable home but is a big softie.
