Del Boy is a 16.2hh 16-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding, extremely well bred and a real quality, proven performance type with great conformation and no blemishes. He is an experienced, established horse who is fit, enthusiastic and ready to go on with his next rider.
He was imported from Ireland last summer by an elderly gentleman; however, Del Boy is certainly not ready to step down and still rides and feels like an 8-year-old. He remains active, willing and thoroughly enjoys his work.
He has hunted hounds all season with the Westmeath Harriers and has also hunted in the field with various packs. He is exceptionally straightforward in all ways and a serious horse across country – bold yet careful, happily jumping gates, drains, wire and hedges. As brave and genuine as they come to a fence. He is ready to be the ultimate hunter for someone wanting a proven, no-nonsense horse to enjoy a full season with confidence.
In the school he is forward going yet safe, with a beautiful, expressive step and balanced way of going. Always ridden in a snaffle, he is straightforward and rideable. He has jumped tracks at 1.20m with plenty of scope and ability for more.
He was joint winner of the gate jumping competition at the Antler Challenge 2025, jumping up to 1.70m, and also completed the Huntsman Class at the Kildare Performance Hunter Show with just one unlucky fence down (rider error).
Del Boy is super to hack and great in traffic. He hacks alone or in company and is sensible in open spaces.
On the ground he is great to handle and have around the yard. He is good to load and travel and is easy to do in all ways.
A lovely horse with a willing, eager-to-please temperament who is ready to go and enjoy his next job. He would suit a variety of roles from serious hunting to performance hunter or Team Chasing
