John Boy is a lovely, loving Irish bred gelding. He is a rare find – a fantastic horse who absolutely loves to jump and always wants to please his rider, combined with a lovely temperament that gives his rider confidence.
Standing at approximately 15hh, this 5-year-old, John Boy is a lovely stamp of a horse with plenty of quality. He has a fantastic attitude towards his work, is genuinely a yard favorite and has always been very quiet, easy to ride and look after. He is happy to be ridden by anyone, children as well as adults, and never seems to get strong or sharp which gives the rider great confidence.
John Boy has good conformation, good quality feet. To match this he has a very willing temperament that gives everyone that rides him confidence and a safe feeling.
On the flat John Boy rides very well and is light and responsive to the aids. He bends correctly, is supple and balanced in all three paces.
John Boy has been to various arenas, cross country hires and outings and has always been easy to load, tack up and manage. He has proven to be sensible in open spaces, happily cantering with others while remaining easy to pull up and ride.
John Boy has also been lightly hunted, where he proved to be very safe, sensible and well mannered throughout the day and he really enjoyed himself without being silly.
John Boy is an incredibly versatile horse who would be suited to RC/PC, dressage, showing, showjumping, XC, working hunter, hunting and a mother/daughter share – the list goes on.
Showjumping, John Boy has plenty of talent and is very careful. He listens well to his rider and is quick to sort himself out if the rider gets it wrong, happily jumping from any stride. He has seen bright and spooky fillers and fences and has taken everything in his stride.
Cross country, John Boy is light in the hand giving the rider a great feel. He happily jumps ditches, banks, water and other types of fences while remaining level headed and genuine.
John Boy hacks well both alone and in company and doesn’t mind other horses leaving or joining him.
Around the yard John Boy is lovely and easy to handle. He enjoys being brushed and fussed over and is good to catch, clip, shoe and load onto both lorry and trailer. He has no stable vices and will be a great asset to anyone who buys him.
