A very genuine, talented Thoroughbred who has been with me and one of my clients since he was a three-year-old. He was lightly raced before being retired and I have carefully and sympathetically retrained him over the last seven years.

On the flat, OP works in a lovely, consistent outline and has won at Preliminary dressage. He has competed successfully with British Showjumping up to 1m, is never spooky and has an honest attitude to his fences. He very rarely says no and is regularly in the ribbons, including being placed in the British Novice at Hickstead. He would also make a fantastic contender for RoR classes.

OP has a lovely nature on the ground and genuinely enjoys attention and fuss. He is easy to handle and is good to clip, shoe, travel and load, making him a pleasure to have on the yard.

Although we have limited hacking where we are now, he previously hacked extensively in Gloucestershire both alone and in company. He is sensible in traffic and has also been to the beach.

As a Thoroughbred, he can be a little more forward and excitable during the winter months, so he is not suitable for a novice rider. He is, however, a genuine horse who would suit a confident rider looking for a fun, versatile partner to enjoy dressage, showjumping, riding club activities or RoR competitions.

This is a very sad sale due solely to the owners work commitments, so finding him the right long-term home is far more important than a quick sale. A loving, knowledgeable home is essential.

Based in Warfield.
