Where to begin with mr dreamy. . Sonic is the most wonderful beautiful eye catching 16 hand 4yr old Irish sport horse gelding (going 5) who I’ve owned since a 3 year old and broken and everything all done by me. I only have him and (one other going in foal) as I am very much an amateur with two small children and he is just wonderful to ride he is balanced with 3 very straight and lovely paces and an exceptional jumper. I’m not sure if I should be selling him but feel like he has so much potential and he is wasted with me now as we spend a lot of time away during half terms with my two small children and all summers in Spain as well as having a knee op in January planned.
He doesn’t rear buck or bolt or nap. You can literally jump on him even if he’s not been ridden for 4 weeks he is so easy snaffle mouthed no flash in everything not strong or silly in the slightest. I mostly take him to shows on my own he has just started his jumping career at British novice being fantastic already double clear.
HUNTING AND XC - he is being absolutely mega. Jumped all the big hedges when I took him and stood at half time super like a seasoned pro. All in a snaffle. As For XC he’s the bravest horse I’ve sat on for his age - water doesn’t hesitate at anything, ditch straight over relaxed jumps it properly just a true gentlemen the best description is BOLD AND SENSIBLE and FUN!
Show jumping - again bold careful calm and adjustable. Not really more I can say on that. Amazing in warm up around others will stand and watch etc. and already jumping double clears.
I took him on my own to a little dressage show never seen boards and did the test again like he’d been doing it his whole life.
Hacking - brilliant in traffic open spaces woods etc. in front or behind. I enjoy hacking so great going out and very relaxing to hack.
Easy to tack up, shoe, clip, tie up, bath, plait, load - first on or last on, whether alone or with another or next to a mare you name it he’s happy. Great doer. Beautiful too long rein and lunge. Leads in a pack of 3 with my dad’s hunter from field never ever jumps on you or spooky. Extremely kind and friendly. Great around children. (He’s got no choice !! Haha)
Stands on his own if I take my dad’s horse off lorry. He is 10000% sound in fact I probably reckon he would go shoeless he’s that sound. Never sick or sorry and no blemishes.
Passed a 5 stage vetting when I got him. He’s by the 6 year old jumping Dublin champion BP othello. I would love him to go to an ambitious home whether that be an amateur or young up and coming rider/ family and he’s a real great one where he’s young to produce with an excellent brain for train ability and most importantly to have fun on. I’m only 5 ft 2 so I’m only small. He’s really kind. I can’t say enough about him really. It’s a real heartbreaking decision but I would love to see him go on to be a superstar for his next family.
I don’t have loads of videos as I mostly ride alone! But I will send what I can on request.
