BALOU BEAR - just the best looking and nice nature'ed cob (possible a bias owner here!)
This lovely cob has so much quality and potential to shine in a range of homes/ disclipnes.
This is a very sad sale of Balou who was bought un-backed and riding well under saddle, is probably going to be more sporty that what is required, so the best possible home is sought for him as he is much loved.
Balou was backed around February of this year, spent a few weeks long reining and seeing the world, and soon took to hacking nicely. He has quietly ticked along gaining confidence and experience over the summer months and more recently had a super month with stunt rider Jake Cox. He proved a little reactive under inital assessment with Jake but soon grew in confidence and experience as the weeks progressed (including using a lance and leaning down to start and rev a quadbike! from ).
He hacks both along and in company, has been good with traffic and canters in open spaces with other horses. He has loose jumped twice and popped a few small fences proving brave and willing.
He is still learning the ropes so requires a competent, experienced rider. He is sold from the field due Balou proving too athletic and enthusiastic than I am ready to bring on, a lack of facilities and life circumstances.
He has a super character, is nice to have around, has been clipped, shod and bathed all without fuss, and lives easily in or out. True to type he is hardy, resiliant and low maintenance.
Balou has lots to give, and with lots of positive confident experiences he should go on to excel in may spheres - showing, hunting, grassroots all-rounder.
A good home is paramount, one that is willing to keep in touch. It would be lovely to see him flourish.
