Champ is an absolute gent on the ground, children can lead him, he’s good with the farrier, never kicked, bitten or even pulled a face. He’s the sweetest soul! Good to load, not had him in a wagon but can’t see why he wouldn’t! Currently barefoot and thriving. Approx 14.2 although not had a stick on him and he is still bum high.
I don’t have a school at home therefore we have mainly hacked out since he was backed in summer 2025. He’s great with traffic, loves water, stands for gates, will canter nicely down the beach, happy to take the lead with a nervous horse and loves a good pub stop! He’ll even plod home without his bridle on.
In the school he is wobbly but willing, I’m sure with the correct facilities he will come on heaps very quickly. We’ve been XC schooling a couple of times before the ground got too hard. He was in his element, with some encouragement we were popping over ditches and steps as well as proving keen over the regular fences. We haven’t managed to get out showjumping but he’s seen the odd coloured pole at arena hires and isn’t fazed in the slightest. We have competed in one low level dressage event, he was a legend and wasn’t even fazed in the busy warm up ring or the scary indoor.
Sadly I don’t have many people to ride out with regularly so he still finds cantering in a group, in open space, super exciting! He can hold it together until asked for the canter, I find he’s totally manageable if you keep his head up and ride him forward but being honest, I think with a complete novice he would soon learn how to bust some moves! (This is the only time he has ever been remotely spicy, he just needs exposing to it more).
Champ would benefit from someone who can continue his education. Due to his age he is not a novice ride and would be best suited to a competent amateur looking to produce a fun RC type.
I am in no rush to sell as this is an extremely difficult decision, 5* home is paramount for my lovely boy!
