Leo is a total gem of a horse - his temperament is just incredible and he’s one of the easiest horses I’ve ever had in. He ticks so many boxes and would do a lot of jobs very well.
He schools beautifully, he’s soft in the mouth, well balanced with good lateral work, medium trot and rein back. He will step up or down and adjusts himself to his rider really well - he’s naturally quiet and steady but is very happy to offer more for an experienced rider.
He has less experience jumping but you wouldn’t know it - he’s jumped everything I’ve put in front of him first time, he’s very brave and is already happy at 90cm with plenty of scope to go up. He’s neat in front and uses himself well over a fence. Equally as balanced and rhythmical as he is on the flat; he really seems to enjoy his jumping and happily goes up a gear as the fences go up. Very much like a pony to jump, he doesn’t need to be held together or rebalanced.
Leo hacks alone or in company and is excellent in traffic. I’ve taken him in our field and popped some logs and a ditch which he took in his stride. He’d definitely be bold enough to event.
And as a little bonus he’s super cool bridleless! There’s not many horses I’d try bridleless after knowing them for a couple of weeks but Leo is just that much of a good boy.
Does all the usual stuff very easily - catches, loads and travels well, good for the farrier, good in the stable with no vices.
Turns out well with other horses - he has excellent social skills and I think he’d be very happy on group or paired turnout.
He is here with me on sales livery and his owners are keen to find him a loving, long term home.
