Companion Gelding For Loan

• Thoroughbred
• Chestnut
• Gelding
• 11 years
• 15 hands

• Friendly, kind and easy to do
• Used to being out with mares and geldings

My 15hh 11 year old gelding looking for his next important role as a companion.

He’s recently been doing this for a friend and did a great job and enjoyed it so I’d like to find him a similar role again.

Ideally this would be on a private yard for a small group - or paired up if the other horse is also retired and doesn’t go out and leave him alone.

He lives out on grass 24/7 365 days a year and as long as he’s got some extra forage available and a vitamin/mineral supplement he doesn’t have any feeding needs.

He does need to stay moving, so if needed to be off the field he needs to be brought onto some sort of extended turnout space as his only issue is locking stifles if stabled for prolonged periods (the odd emergency overnight has been fine!)

Used to being with mares and geldings, he is a fair leader who is polite but firm with other horses - he won’t be bullied but is an absolute gentleman. He’s been out with everything from bolshy youngstock to veterans.

I have owned him since he was 3 and can provide full history and comprehensive details.
Absolutely no riding, not even a sit on for a pony ride!

I will cover annual vaccinations, and keep him provided with rugs. All I ask that he is kept trimmed on a 8-10 weekly basis and follows a worm counting programme.

Loan contract and references required.

Please don’t be put off by the Thoroughbred label, he is a really hardy good do-er who has had nothing more than a 200g rug and a bale of hay in front of him through whatever winter throws at him!
