Reggie (Welcome Drishane) - 17.3hh, 8yr old Irish Draught gelding with exceptional breeding and proven siblings. (Drishane Diamond x Shanvally Princess).
He will be very sorely missed but Reggie is searching for a strong capable rider to continue his education as he has a great amount of potential but it’s currently being wasted so is being sold as a bit of a project, although it won’t take long to bring him on.
Although he’s a big boy, he’s a complete labrador on the ground and is good to mount/shoe/clip/load/dentist etc. He has no vices and isn’t ever sick or sorry.
He is fantastic to handle, and is regularly handled by children and novices. He is everyone’s best friend and isn’t bossy or bolshy. Happily goes with a mixed herd.
Since the start of this year his ridden work has been inconsistent, and he needs a confident capable rider to bring out the best in him as he can be cheeky and try it on, he just needs to be pushed through this and then he’ll be your perfect horse.
He hasn’t been in a school since February and has only done light hacking.
He can be spooky out hacking by himself but this improves when he does it frequently. He is completely fine in company but needs confidence from his rider when on his own. However, he is 100% in all traffic and isn’t bothered by lorries, buses, motorbikes etc.
He’s not strong and is ridden in a snaffle, he has also hunted in a snaffle quite happily. He just needs a job and something to keep his brain engaged as we believe he is getting bored and this has led to a couple of bad habits that need a capable rider to push through and correct.
Would suit a hunting home as has great scope over fences but also has flashy movements so would make a great shower. Needs more work over showjumps but only as he’s green in this area.
Open to vettings.
Not suitable for novices, due to his size and him still being green, as his work increases- so will his price!
5 figure budget, will come with a substantial wardrobe for the right price.
Plenty of photos & videos upon request
Based in Wiltshire
