Patrick is a lovely, well-socialised horse with a real people-loving personality. He is very much an “in your pocket” type and thrives on attention – if anything, he can be a little bit of a space invader in the most endearing way!

On the ground, Patrick is easy to manage. He is good to lead, catch, bath, shoe, and handle. He can be clipped without sedation, however we would recommend using Sedalin simply to make the process smoother and more relaxed for everyone.

He travels exceptionally well. Occasionally he may take a few minutes to load, but once he can see light through the lorry or trailer (by opening internal doors), he walks straight on without issue.

On the flat, Patrick is a pleasure to ride. He stands quietly to mount and is a laid-back, “leg on” type who enjoys a steady rhythm, but will step up a gear if asked. He has a soft snaffle mouth and an incredibly balanced, comfortable canter – a real highlight and something riders immediately appreciate. He is kind, forgiving, and not at all sensitive, making him an ideal ride for someone wanting confidence and security.

Over fences, Patrick is genuine and honest. He is currently jumping around 95cm comfortably and has seen a variety of fillers and natural obstacles. He would make a super Riding Club horse and a fun, confidence-giving partner.

Hacking-wise, he is happy both alone and in company. He may take a look at new surroundings, but this is purely curiosity rather than spookiness – he is simply a very inquisitive character!

Although yes Patrick would suit a novice rider and is regularly ridden by novices we would prefer him to go to a home with atleast regular access to somebody experienced as he is a younger horse.

This is a genuine sale of a genuine horse.
