Bertie is a super smart ROR, he will excel in eventing and would be a prime candidate to aim for the Cornbury racehorse challenge - although he could do anything as he has a real sensible head on his shoulders and could just as much hack around the lanes and be your best friend.

He finished racing at the end of last year and had a lot of downtime before I got him. Although he is 7, he is a big framed horse and does still need time to fill out and strengthen up. I have taken him to arena hires, clinics and cross country schooling and he is very sensible out and about as well as hacking. Other horses don’t seem to upset him, in fact he doesn’t really seem to be phased by much!

I have recently had his teeth done and he has seen the physio, as I said above he does need to time to develop so I haven’t pushed him and we spend a lot of time hacking up and down hills to try and build up his hind end. He moves beautifully and has a really lovely balanced canter, he is very sensible to a fence (and away!) and is proving to be very brave.

He is very easy to deal with and currently lives in with daily turnout, he is shod all round and has been very good to do, I haven’t clipped him since I have had him. I travel him in a trailer but was also
told he loads and travels well in a horsebox.

He really will be your best friend and is a very trusting genuine horse that seems to love everyone! If I could find an owner for him he really wouldn’t be going anywhere but I just cannot afford to run 2. I would also happily keep him with me once sold for further producing or teaching for you and help during the changeover period. Lots of options available. I really do want to see him in the best home and be given every opportunity for success.
