10 year old bay gelding, known as Bean, would be suitable for a confident rider, looking to have some fun with jumping, hacking, dressage or showing.
He has been primarily trained for dressage, with good paces and oozes quality. He has fantastic conformation, so I am sure he would excel in showing due to his striking looks and could be a real contender in ROR classes due to his 'look at me' presence. He walks for a 10, has a good springy collectable trot and a good canter. He has all lateral established, changes and basic working canter pirouettes and some piaffe and passage, where he shows lots of talent.
He is super to hack, alone and in company. He is very well behaved with trains[ back onto a train line], tractors , lorries, loud children, quad bikes ect. He is very sensible, jumping out hacking, will jump anything he is pointed at, which is fantastic as my daughter isn’t very brave when jumping. He is incredibly brave and I’m sure with the right rider could go far.
He has enjoyed some jumping in the school but this isn’t my daughter's focus. In 2024, he competed BD regularly in dressage at novice and represented England at BD Youth Home Nations, finishing just outside the top 10 with scores of 68.5% and 66.% He also placed 4th in the elementary at the NSEA finals.
In 2025, my daughter completed his GCSE’s so was not really campaigned to the best of his ability and he concentrated on training instead. He did some shows and showed tension, which reflected in his scores. Therefore he is not for a novice rider, he would suit a confident person who can thrive off of his confident, very brave nature and use his hotness to an advantage. He is sharp, he can have moments- always from excitement .
He is good to handle, well mannered in the stable, shoe , stands on the lorry all day, a little ticklish to clip but we have been patient and he gets better each time, always in a headcollar and not sedated. He is up to date with all jabs.
Based West Sussex/ Surrey border.
Sadly for sale due to rider concentrating on her A'Levels so please no time wasters or joy riders . Rugs and Tack available by separate negotiation, he has a dressage and gp saddle.
