Smart, Safe All-Rounder / Schoolmaster

17hh | 13 years | Liver chestnut gelding

Fantastic breeding with Darco lines.

Flicker is a genuine, kind, and talented schoolmaster all-rounder who is very much still in his prime. He has a wealth of experience across multiple disciplines and is the sort that gives his rider confidence while still being fun and capable.

He has competed successfully in unaffiliated dressage, consistently scoring 68%+ at Novice, showjumped up to 1m, and competed in hunter and working hunter classes, often taking championships. He has attended numerous training clinics and attended stay away dressage camps. Previously qualified for Blue Chip Winter Championships, competing BSJA at large venues including Hickstead and Hartpury. Previous to current owner, he has also been on bloodhound exercises and was good as gold.

Flicker’s most important job, however, was bringing his current rider back to riding after a serious accident on another horse and safely carrying her through two pregnancies, proving just how trustworthy and genuine he is.

He is good to do in all ways: easy to catch, handle, shoe, clip, load, travel, and is well behaved for the vet and dentist. He hacks happily alone or in company, is sensible in traffic, and is a pleasure to have on the yard. He loves attention, fuss, cuddles and particularly Diet Coke!

Flicker is incredibly versatile and rare: he will happily step down for someone learning the ropes and pop a small cross pole on a long rein, yet can equally be picked up to produce a lovely dressage test or a confident showjumping round up to 90cm.

This is a very sad sale due to lack of time with two children under two. He is now ready to become someone’s future heart horse, offering confidence, experience, and enjoyment in abundance. A real yard and family favourite and he will be missed!

Would suit a tall teenager looking for their first horse, a mother/daughter, son share, or a more competitive rider wanting a genuine horse to enjoy riding club and all-round activities. Alternatively Flicker would make a brilliant hunt horse.

5* home only. He is one in a million and ensuring the best home is most important!
