Extraordinary difficult sale of my beloved gelding after nearly five years in my home. Took me two years to find him!…..this is why….

He’s beautiful on the eye, calm and sensible to ride and take out on my own. He rides the same away at competitions as he does at home. Unusual breeding which is why he’s so good looking…he’s Irish x Selle Francais.

He’s good to catch, clip, bath, plait, pull his mane/ tail ( properly!) , with the farrier, dentist, physio, vet, loads himself & stands happily at shows in my trailer and I do everything on my own, I’m in my mid 60’s!

He hacks out around our busy village in company and I can ride and lead him from my old mare on all the same rides. He’s been to dressage competitions & polework clinics including RC events & pleasure & leisure rides with me.

Previous owner had also owned him for four years, they had hacked him and taken him to xc clinics & sj clinics. I sadly no longer jump, but my own trainer who I’ve seen mostly twice a week since I’ve owned him has occasionally show jumped him and taken him xc schooling to add variety to his life and to keep jumping in his repertoire as he enjoys it. He remains, calm, rhythmic & sensible.

He is relatively low mileage for his age, hence his physical health is amazing. He is fit & ready to turn his hooves to most things.

He lives in completely in the winter from end November ( still in currently!) due to our poor clay land in winter, but it doesn’t change his way of going with his riding at all. He lives out the rest of the year. Completely happy with both scenarios .

I travel a lot so he’s happy with a few different riders whilst I’m away.

I’m an instructor of 41 years experience myself and wanted to find a flashy horse that could cope with a varied life & the above mentioned requirements, that i was least likely to come off in my 60’s!! Hence took two years to find a genuine horse! I have never fallen off him! He has filled my requirements during his time with me and this is a very sad sale due to personal circumstances and no fault of his!

He will only be sold to a knowledgeable 5* home.
