Basil - 15 year old Warmblood gelding

We have owned basil for almost 2 years. He was purchased for my husband to get him back in the saddle after about a 15 year break. He has been the perfect gentleman and provided us with so much enjoyment but it has come to that sad time where he finds a new home. He is for sale for no fault of his own. We have just started a new business venture and he is not getting the attention he deserves.

Since owning him we have taken him to our local XC course where he looked after my husband and they had a lovely day on the course hire, he came away with from the other pony. We took him to our local show which is quite a buzzy agricultural show where he won both his classes. He has done mainly hacking where we have seen a verity of traffic plenty which doesn't seem to faze him.

He is a real stick your foot in the iron and go, due to my husbands work commitments and only riding for pleasure he is a fair weather rider so for that reason he is not in consistent work and that does not seem to make any difference to him if he is ridden every day or once in a blue moon; for a horse of his size and breeding he is very sensible. He has been ridden in open spaces and is also very genuine.

Basil passed a 5 stage vetting on 27th May 2026 and has had a fresh set of shoes on the 10th June

Good to catch, he goes out at night to avoid the flys and is stood on the gate in the morning ready to come in. In the winter he has little turn out due to it being wet but that does not effect his temperament or manners. We have not had him in the horse lorry due to our partitions not being herringbone so he would not fit, he travels beautifully on a trailer but his only bad point is you do need to have 2 lunge lines clipped to each side but he does not hesitate and loads first time, he is good to shoe, bath, plait, there is not a bad bone in his big body. He has been ridden by my husband who was obviously very wobbly when he first got back in the saddle, our yard livery that also hasn't ridden for years and previously had her confidence knocked and gave her a lovely hack around the village, my groom who is very small and myself who is also only 5'1 and very lightweight

Home is the most important thing for basil as he is such a kind horse who just wants to please!
