Charlie is a 15.2h 5yo bay purebred Connemara gelding with extensive competition experience in prelim level dressage, novice eventing, and 90cm showjumping classes with excellent results. He has hunted with a child several times, hacking and charity rides. He is careful, brave and honest without ever getting hot or sharp in a show environment
Charlie has jumped with us up to 110 and shows scope for much more. He has no issue making horse strides through one-stride and double combinations at shows, and we think he has potential to become a 120 horse with fitness.
Charlie loves cross country schooling and remains unphased by all obstacles; for this reason we know he’d love a career as a working hunter.
Charlie is very slightly ‘more go than woah’ when jumping without ever being strong, hot, or intimidating for an amateur to manage. He is very careful and honest to jump, and for this reason we think he’d be a fabulous competitive partner for someone confidently jumping small 80s courses who is hoping to find a confidence-building horse, with a comfortable size and ability to bring them to the next level.
On the flat, Charlie stays under the leg with very little help from the rider. He is easy to ride in the contact and always goes in a snaffle. He has been ridden by a 13yo boy and his 9yo brother.
Charlie is well behaved for hacking, alone or with others. He is easy to catch, load, bathe, tie, shoe, etc.
He has no vices of any kind, and has a very sweet and polite personality. He enjoys knowing who his person is, and will do anything they ask.
He is open to any vetting, price includes delivery to UK. Exchange if you are not happy.
