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, do a couple of comps 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.

He had to have 5 months off. We're now in the first stages of lunge work in tack. Then in mid April he's to go into ridden work. He's being a star.
So, the reason I'm having to sell early is of no fault of his or mine. I do have Tango's father with me.

He is 7' in rugs. He is good for the farrier (bare foot), 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. The pic of the black horse is his father.
Please note: this is a lovely, but green 5yr old. So please no novices. He needs a home who can continue to bring out his potential and get him out seeing more of the world. If it wasn't for the wind op he would be twice this price.
