A seriously attractive Irish Sport Horse with three elevated paces, a big scopey jump and the sweetest “okay, I’ll give it a go” attitude.
Nash is by Kings Cornet, a son of the legendary Cornet Obolensky, and out of a traditional Irish Sport Horse mare by Nash Me. His breeding brings together modern jumping quality with the blood and versatility traditionally associated with the Irish Sport Horse—and he certainly looks the part!
On the flat, Nash has three fabulous, elevated paces and works in a naturally uphill frame. He is beginning to work correctly in an outline and shows all the ingredients to excel in the dressage arena. He recently attended a training show here at Prelim level, winning with a very respectable 69%. He takes the most beautiful picture and is absolutely the one all your friends will say “wow” about!
Nash also has a lovely, big, scopey jump. He is comfortably jumping courses of 90cm and makes a really good shape over a fence. He is genuine and forgiving, happily helping his rider out if they arrive on a missed stride, and always looks to get himself to the other side. With further education and experience, there is plenty more to come from him—he has the ability to make a lovely grassroots event horse, showjumper or smart competition all-rounder.
He hacks alone and in company, has seen farm traffic and is sensible in open spaces. He has also popped a couple of small ditches and logs while out hacking, approaching everything with his usual willing attitude.
Nash is good to shoe, load, catch and travel.
He does have an old injury to his hindquarters, caused by a kick from another horse. There is no scar but has some muscle atrophy. This does not affect his way of going.
Nash is a really lovely person who has taken a little time to learn to trust new people. Now that we are beginning to see his true character, he makes us smile every day. There is nothing malicious about him; he simply wants someone patient and kind who will continue to build his confidence. His general outlook on life is very much, “Okay, I’ll give it a go,” and he really does try to answer every question asked of him.
He is priced with finding the perfect home firmly in mind—a home that will continue his education, increase his exposure and give him all the time, patience and TLC he so clearly wants.
A beautiful, talented horse with a gentle soul and so much still to give.
