I've known Tango all of his life as I have a working relationship with the stud in Kimbolton, Cambridgeshire. He's by the lovely Trakehner stallion, Holme Park Kobalt by a Wesphalian mare. He is bred in the purple. Registered Hanovarian.

Last year the stud owner told me that after been backed and ridden away Tango had displayed a wind problem. She had him scoped and he had a partially paralysed larynx. She is a very small stud without full time staff so going forward Tango was an issue for her. I decided that I would take him on, operate on his wind, and then find him a good home. To me a wind problem isn't a massive red flag if it's dealt with.

So, in late September I re backed him for two weeks just so he hadn't forgotten what carrying a human was all about. In October he went to Cotts in Narberth for a hobday and an Neuromuscular pedicle graft op (not a tie back). Please Google what it is save me the typing. Richard at Cotts thought it was the better option as the larynx isn't permanently open as in a tie back op. Happy for your vet to chat to my vet.

He has now been back in work 7 weeks and is proving to be a star. Working nicely, walk, trot & canter, but green in the arena. Hacking out on his own and in company. Has seen trains, tractors, bikes etc

He is good for the farrier, just had his first set of fronts on due to lots of hacking. Up to date on teeth, vacs. Good to catch, lead in and out. Good to load in my 18t lorry and a 4.5t, never tried a trailer. No vices, a few superficial scars on his off hind from an altercation with a fence.

Please note: this is a lovely, but green 5yr old. So please no novices or equine tyre kickers. He needs a home who can continue to bring out his potential. Do not expect a 5yr old ready to go and do a prelim test next week!!
