Henry — 16.2hh | 8-year-old Thoroughbred Bay GeldingHenry is a kind-natured gelding with plenty of personality who enjoys attention and aims to please. He is good to handle and has been introduced to a variety of activities including arena hires, showjumping competitions, cross-country schooling, hunter trials, and dressage.
I have taken things slowly with Henry, he needs consistent work as he can become spooky, particularly in the winter. Lack of time and consistency is the only reason for this difficult sale.
Henry has competed in dressage and has been placed numerous times with positive comments from judges. There is no reason he couldn’t excel in pure dressage. He enjoys jumping but takes confidence from his rider. He has also schooled cross-country, seen ditches and water, he would make a lovely eventing prospect. He was recently placed 4th in his last 80cm showjumping competition.
He hacks alone and in company and is good with traffic. He has also been used to give confidence to more nervous horses. Henry loads and travels well in both the trailer and wagon and will stand whilst another horse leaves.
Henry’s quirks are typical of a Thoroughbred. He can be excitable so is not a novice ride. He has been known to throw a buck in winter and can get excitable once arrived at an event, but settles once working. He would suit a confident, sympathetic rider and a quieter yard, please don’t enquire if your on a busy livery yard.
Henry has a splint on his front leg which has never caused issues. He passed a 3* vetting two years ago and is open to further vetting. Up to date with vaccinations, teeth, worming, physio, and saddler.
No dealers or novices. Knowledgeable, forever home sought where he is not going to be passed around, if I had more time and could be more consistent with him, he wouldn’t be going anywhere. Homes will be vetted and references required.
Comes with full wardrobe and bridle, saddle negotiable. Plenty of videos/pictures on request.
