Joey is a beautiful stamp with a super temperament and plenty of ability. By Glennfiddich VDL, a modern, careful and competitive sire carrying some of the best Dutch jumping blood including Bacardi VDL. His dam sire is Glasgow van ’t Merelsnest, who jumped at the highest international level and brings in top names such as Nabab de Rêve and Darco. Joey is therefore exceptionally well bred and a horse that really oozes quality and potential.

Joey has had a slower start to his career, so is a little green for his age, but he has been out to a few training shows both showjumping and dressage and is now ready to go on and be competitive.

He is happily jumping around 90/100 tracks, proving brave and straightforward to a fence. He is not strong or silly and would be well suited to someone wanting a horse to produce and be competitive on, with the ability to go against the clock in time.

Joey has three balanced, elevated paces and has recently been out dressaging, scoring 68% at prelim level with positive comments on his correct way of going. He has a naturally uphill canter, enjoys his work, and shows a willing, workmanlike attitude.

He has attended clinics and some natural horsemanship sessions. He originally came to us for schooling and exposure as he could be a little unsure around other horses, so he is looking for a home that will continue his education and give him confidence through regular outings.

Joey is good to hack in company, has seen farm and village traffic, and is sensible in open spaces. He can be unsure hacking alone, so will benefit from a confident rider to continue building his confidence.

He is good to clip, shoe, load, catch etc. Currently barefoot with excellent feet, he is not footy on the roads and has not required shoes. He is a good doer and a pleasure to have on the yard.

A kind, genuine horse with a lovely nature and easy character.
Joey is for sale on behalf of his owner. This is a sad sale, and finding him the right home is the absolute priority.
