Bred by the brilliant Sir shutterfly.
Diego is our Homebred, so it makes this decision even harder!!
Diego has been very slowly produced, having 3 lovely comfortable gaits, I could ride him all day long.
Due to life commitments, Diego has had a gentle work lifestyle throughout his younger years, where in he had a successful time at a few shows, clinics, camps, fun rides, arena hires, XC hire.
I haven’t always had time to put into him in the fact to get him out, however I was never concerned as he was young, now he really needs to start getting out there and building his confidence within himself.
The only reason why I’m selling him, is because I’m getting married and moving away with my husband who’s in the military, so we will be moving around a lot.
For the past 6 months he has been on loan at the yard to a young less confident adult, where she has done mainly low key schooling and hacking.
Diego is a very talented young man, he is like his mother and is very consistent within his movement, he would make a fabulous eventer that he is bred for, pure dressage or abit of everything.
I’d just love someone to enjoy him and love him, he is very kind and gentle, he would never ever hurt you, he has a big heart.
The type of rider I would be looking for for him is a kind and sympathetic experienced rider, as although Diego is safe he can be a bit anxious at times and can look for quiet reassurance from his rider, I feel this is just because his lifestyle has always been a bit here and there, so the consistency of work, going places etcetera he will grow within himself.
He has in the past when he was younger rear slightly, this was more because he was maybe feeling insecure within himself, but despite this, my mother who isn’t the most confident of riders would give him months off and feel very comfortable just to get back on him again and feel completely safe. He would never ever do anything to unseat his rider.
He has lovely clean limbs and beautifully put together. Touchwood, he has never had a days lameness.
Good to clip, shoe, catch etc
Up to date with all vaccinations, teeth, and always have regular Mctimony and physio sessions as a standard treatment.
