Roo is a 4YO (5 in June) gelding, who I have owned for 2 years. He has phenomenal breeding; sired by Uricas VD Kattevennen (Untouchable lines) and sharing a granddam with Tobago Z. Roo has been broken in professionally and produced slowly and carefully by a small female rider. He has proven to be athletic and brave, with a kind and honest temperament.

Roo has been to numerous shows, totally unphased by the busy environment and warmups. Each time he has jumped a clear round and come home in the ribbons. Most recently, he produced 4/4 clears at Felbridge, with a 4th and 3rd place in his two only attempts at a combined training (in a field of 15). He is exceptionally careful, straight and brave (a spooky filler doesn’t phase him, just makes him go higher!) He would easily excel at pure showjumping - he has an amazing back end.

Roo has been placed at unaffiliated dressage first time out (scoring 67%). He produces a very smart test and is very obedient, with floaty paces and is light in the hand. He shows excellent potential in this discipline.

Roo has also been cross country schooling twice. Once he realised that he didn’t have to jump the height of the flags too (!), most recently at Tweseldown he popped around the 80 course in an incredibly mature and bold way, trotting through the water and jumping steps, a ditch and brush fences. He will happily go away from other horses and do a course by himself, listening and trusting his rider. He is incredibly versatile and equally, I believe that he would make a very smart eventer. He is good to hack and not strong. He will go alone or in company (in front or behind).

At home on the ground, Roo is a sweet boy and loves to be pampered. He will stand for hours having his mane pulled, being clipped and plaited. When he arrived he was a bit unsure of humans on the ground, but he has really come out of his shell in the past two years and wants to please. He travels well, both alone and with another.

This talented young horse is ready to turn his hoof to anything. He is fit and ready to go and passed a full vetting with X-rays two years ago. He is up to date with the farrier and dentist. He is very well behaved for the vet and only ever called for vaccinations.

Plenty of videos and photos of him doing absolutely everything on request. Please WhatsApp in the first instance and I can ring you back. Due to his age and potential, no novices please. Sad sale, due to house move.
