4yo 16hh gelding by Ardcolum Duke (160).
Duke was backed last year by ourselves then left to mature. He’s been back at ours for 7 weeks and is cantering around a course of fences including fillers & trays.
He’s very straight to jump, he will take a miss and help his rider out, never gets upset and doesn’t hold a grudge! He’s never sharp or silly, very good to handle and deal with. He works off voice commands and is just starting to pick up fly changes.
He canters around a course beautifully holding a consistent contact in an outline - he would be an amazing contender for the 4yo’s this year as his ridability is fantastic!
He’s a very exciting horse for the future, he has an exceptional jump and will be an asset to anyone strings.
Duke is owned by a family who brought him off his breeder as a yearling so full history is known as well as all his ridden history which has been with us.
He’s good to deal with in all ways - loads, travels, good to clip, good for the farrier (barefoot) and to turnout/bring in. We’ve not hacked him but he has long reined in open spaces and round our pond and wasn’t a minutes bother.
Duke is very straight forward, he’s very quiet and doesn’t at all act like a 4yo! He’s easy enough for an amateur to produce but equally talented enough for a professional’s string.
He’s very well put together, a proper nice stamp. No lumps or bumps or vices.
