Colden is a 15'2", 8-year-old ex-point-to-point horse we have owned for nine months. He is extremely talented and brave with exceptional scope, and the most laid-back, kind, easy going temperament. He has great conformation and is a stunning, rare dark bay colour.

He is still relatively green for his age, but has bags of ability, a brave, calm head on his shoulders and a big, kind heart. He has massive scope and a natural, bold jump (jumped 5'6" point-to-point fences), is incredibly brave to a fence and loves jumping, including show-jump poles. He also moves beautifully on the ground. He is level-headed, reliable, straightforward and takes everything in his stride. He hacks alone and in company, travels well alone or in company, is easy to catch, great for the farrier and has no vices. He is kind, friendly and funny and very much a favourite at the stables.

Since we have owned him, we have invested heavily in groundwork, correct education and sorting the basics, and he is now a seriously exciting prospect to bring on for eventing, team chasing, hunting, riding club events/competitions, a teenage pony-clubber moving up from ponies, or someone looking for a kind, sensible, level-headed all-rounder. With further experience and mileage, he will be really special.

Only for sale as his owner has unexpectedly been offered an amazing job abroad for six months from the end of March and is then going to university in London when she returns, so unfortunately, we have no choice but to sell him.

Serious enquiries only and no novices as we want him to go to a home where he will have fun and fulfil his potential. No timewasters or joyriders please.
