Dante is a very well bred Irish Draught cross warmblood gelding who, through no fault of his, own has had a slow start to his ridden career but he is now ready to find his forever home. He is a forward thinking, and good off the aids so wouldn't be suitable for a complete novice however forgiving so could be suitable for a partner wanting to learn with him. He has a bright future in whatever he turns his hoof too, being a serious contender for grass roots championships in eventing and more in the future.

He has done some double clears at BS novice and is more than capable of jumping some bigger tracks, schooling easily round 1.10 tracks at home. He is a genuine but careful jumper, making a very correct shape but will also be happy to take a miss and keep jumping with a smile on his face. Never spooky at fillers or water trays, he's happy to jump anything you put in front of him.

Dante hasn't got a huge amount of experience cross country, but his first time schooling he went straight through the water and over the ditch, proving to be very brave with bags of potential at this phase. He was looking through the flags already so it won't be long until he'd be ready to go eventing!

He is a lovely, easy ride on the flat with correct paces which will definitely please the dressage judges! Incredibly light off the leg he makes flatwork sessions very enjoyable, learning leg yields and counter canter very quickly - showing a trainable attitude and capable of dressage scores in the 20s.

Not at all nappy, he'll hack on his own or in company and walks straight past lorries and tractors. He is handled by the work experiences on the yard, and loves a cuddle in the stable, he will make a best friend and partner for life for the right person! Good to clip and shoe and has travelled on both the lorry and trailer.

The owners are very motivated to sell so sensible offers will be considered.
