SUPER ATTRACTIVE 15.3 grey AES Warmblood gelding. 6 years old

Having Stan with me is like taking a puppy, small baby or in horse girl terms, that fit farrier who’s all over social media for an outing. Whether it’s the photographer, judge or other riders at the show or a random non horsey person on a hack, people are always stopping me to ask about or tell me how attractive he is!

He’s a total gent on the ground and in the stable. My toddler can be in the stable mucking him out and he’ll be very gentle. He’s loads of character too loves a stable toy and nicks your bobble hat if he gets the chance! He is so easy at a show. I’m always alone and always take 2 and he is no bother on and off the box a few times while I course walk, swap them over and do whatever.

When I got him last Summer I had only just started competing affiliated and only done about 12 months unaffiliated on ponies. I’ve learnt tons with him and we have jumped up to 122cm at home, 110cm clear rounds and competed up to and including 1m discovery classes and even done some arena eventing, qualifying for the ACE championships at aintree and placing 5th in his first class! He has so much scope to jump and is bred to do so. He also goes lovely on the flat and is very fancy! I often do dressage tests on him to practice my flatwork and his canter is amazing. People often comment on it!

I love this horse, He’s taken me over some of the biggest fences I’ve ever jumped. He springs over them like they’re nothing and clearly has a bright future ahead. He’s no way a novice ride and needs a rider who believes in him 100% and when you do he’ll jump over the moon for you.

I hack him out regularly alone and he’s great in traffic. I’ve hunted him a couple of times too and he loved it!

Very genuine reason for sale which can be discussed with potential buyers and it has been a really difficult decision to make. I have lots of videos of him. He’s a lovely attractive horse bred to do a job so he isn’t totally easy but he wins everyone over with his looks, charm and moves.

I think he’d be suited to someone wanting to go do amateurs this year and I really wish I could have done that with him but unfortunately for Stan my personal circumstances mean otherwise. I stared aiming for getting my double clears in British novice to do second rounds next spring but I just don’t think I’ll be ready and able for that so soon due to my personal circumstances although Stan would be. He’s got his first British novice DC anyway and already a 95 for the amateurs too.

I’ve always really enjoyed him on the flat too and don’t see why he can’t go do a bit of dressage or eventing for someone interested in that.

Breeding as follows - British Bred gelding by a son of l'm Special De Muze who certainly needs no introduction who has competed up to 1.50m level and is a descendant of the best pedigree.
