GARY CHES BOY aka CHESTER - 16.2hh approx, 5yro (2021) Irish Bred Chestnut gelding

Chester is a striking and quality Irish sport horse with good bone and conformation. He stands out with a beautiful flaxen mane and tail and a kind and willing personality to go with his good looks.

Since arriving from Ireland at the start of the year, Chester has been a gentleman and a pleasure to have and keep. Good with small children and dogs on a busy and active yard. He is always doing what is asked of him and only wants to please his rider.

Hacking well alone and in company over different terrain and enjoying a wash off in the local river. Proving to be sensible in a range of traffic, farm machinery to bicycles etc. Mannerly to hack in company, not strong or silly, happiest when leading but will also follow. Has done fun rides behaving well and enjoying with ears pricked!

Chester is really excelling himself in the arena, working in a good frame and going off the leg well. Comes into a contact when asked, still slightly green at times but showing a delightful attitude and willingness to learn. Well balanced paces, a lovely rhythmical canter and started flying changes over a pole. Recently partnered with a 15yro rider for Pony Club rallies doing grid-work and pole work activities.

Chester has been to local arena hires and competitions including some small arena eventing outings where he was unphased by a range of jumps and fillers, even bagging a 5th place rosette in a competitive class.
Stood on the Horsebox while another horse jumped and was mannerly around all other horses in the warm up ring etc.

Chester is a gentleman to handle on the ground, good for the farrier, easy to load and travel, tack up and untack etc.
He does require sedation to clip but this is something he could learn to accept with trust. Looking for a sympathetic hand as he can be head shy at times and a little unsure of new people until he gets to know and trust his partner. Good to catch and turn out, currently turned out but comes in regularly and has been stabled with no issues.
Chester is looking for a competent home where he can further his education and have the best brought out of him in the right hands, the videos speak for themselves showing what a genuine young horse he is and the potential he has got. A smashing sort and is sure to make a versatile and fun horse for someone.

Up to date with wormer, vaccs, dentist.
