Bob is a quality young horse imported from Ireland as an unbroken three-year-old. He was carefully backed and produced by ourselves last summer before being turned away. He has since come back into work after Christmas and is now back under saddle, hacking out weekly, and ready for his new home.

Bob is snaffle-mouthed and has never been strong, hot, or silly. He is excellent in traffic and very sensible in open fields. He hacks happily alone with no napping or nonsense and will also hack confidently in company, either in front or behind. He will happily hack for hours on his own around the downs and will stand quietly at the pub.

He is not a horse that needs riding every day, nor does he require lunging beforehand. He will always stand politely at the mounting block. That said, he is still young and green and would most definitely benefit from someone who can work with him on a regular, weekly basis to continue his education. For this reason, we would not feel he is suitable for a novice home at this stage.

Bob is good to load, catch, clip, and shoe. As a young horse, he does occasionally need his hand held and things explained to him, but once he understands, he takes everything in his stride.

He is a lovely forward-going ride with a super step and a very chilled outlook on life.
