Hugo about 16.1 / 16.2 full thoroughbred. He came from Ireland in May 2025 and has never raced or been in training. His passport was empty with no name.

I bought him a few days after he arrived in the UK and he has been the most amazing boy. He’s very playful in the field, loves a heard and lots of turnout.

I would say he will excel in eventing, which was the reason for buying him. Great attitude towards jumping and working in general. He’s still unbalanced but coming on heaps and bounds week after week. I’ve taken him cross country training at Tweseldown and he didn’t look at a thing. Out hacking he avoids puddles and have turned around when crossing rivers but with encouragement he’s walking through on second attempt. At Tweseldown he went through water first time but he is yet to event. Hacks alone and in company. Great in traffic but I have only hacked on the road with other horses. I have full faith he will be safe on his own.

He’s been to lots of show jumping lessons with me and has a fantastic jump. A little wobbly on a straight line but honest and eager. With him being young he can be overwhelmed in a warm up but has never reared or bucked. Ears always pricket but sometimes lacking focus.

When I bought him he was not used to sprays / lotions and potions. He wouldn’t stand still for hoof oil but he is now a gem. He needs patience and time. I feel lots of this is new to him.

Loads in a trailer first time and travel like a dream. I’ve never tried him in a big lorry.

He needs someone by his side when shod. I wonder if he’s not been used to hot shoing (and the smoke) so my farrier starts with the hind legs and with me by his side he’s standing still.

He’s only for sale as it’s time for me to hang up my boots and focus on my family. I hope he will be someone’s heart horse one day. I know you lose all control once sold but would love to keep in touch with the new owners (and first refusal if he ever to be sold again but maybe that only happens in books)

If I was to keep riding he would stay. I can’t fault him in any way. Great with my kids, and very loved at the yard. It’s a very very sad sale.

Lots of videos and photos on request.
