Rupert is a 15.2 16yo ISH gelding..

We originally sold Rupert four years ago to a teenage rider who enjoyed doing a bit of everything with him, including showjumping, dressage, cross-country, hunter trials, Pony Club, one-day events, clinics and hacking.

Rupert absolutely loves his jumping and is a real cross-country machine. He confidently tackles steps, ditches, hedges, banks and other natural fences and will have a go at anything put in front of him. Showjumping, he is confident with fillers and trays and has been jumping from 80cm to 1m.

Rupert is a forward-going, responsive ride, (not strong and in a snaffle) he can occasionally be a little fresh or buzzy particularly when excited, so is best suited to a confident rider who will enjoy his enthusiasm and ride him positively. He has plenty to offer an improving rider, particularly someone looking to develop their confidence and experience cross country, where his boldness and ability really come into their own.

We have found him straightforward to ride and have taken him out schooling without issue. However, after approximately eight weeks with his most recent owners, it became clear that he was more horse than they were comfortable with, so he has returned to us to find a more suitable rider.

Rupert is a very sweet horse who is good to handle, shoe, clip, load, travel, turn out and catch.

He would be ideal for a confident rider looking for an experienced and capable all-rounder who loves his job and has plenty still to offer.

Rupert is currently on sales livery in Lingfield, Surrey.
