Benji, as he is affectionately known to his friends, is a rising 5-year-old (2022) gelding, believed to be Connemara x Irish Draught. He is a lovely, well-put-together horse with plenty of bone, a smart appearance and, most importantly, a fantastic temperament.
Although still young and very much a work in progress, Benji is already riding exceptionally well for his age. He has a wonderfully willing and trainable attitude, always trying his best and genuinely wanting to please. He takes everything in his stride and has been a pleasure to produce.
Benji has been ridden by a variety of riders here and has consistently proven himself to be an easy, straightforward and enjoyable ride. He works nicely in the school and is equally happy hacking, whether on the roads or across wide open spaces. He has been ridden in heavy traffic, including meeting lorries and farm machinery, and has taken it all in his stride.
He is also showing a lovely, natural jump, confidently jumping around a course of fences in a balanced, level-headed manner. With his type, substance, attitude and jumping ability, we believe he could make a super working hunter with continued correct production.
What really makes Benji special is his temperament. He is a kind, genuine and uncomplicated young horse who approaches everything with a willing attitude. He has all the foundations in place for someone to continue his education and enjoy producing him further.
Benji is a really lovely boy with so much to offer. Whether his new family would like to enjoy hacking, riding club activities, working hunter classes or simply having a wonderful all-round partner, he has the attitude and potential to turn his hoof to a variety of disciplines.
A super young horse who is ready to go on and enjoy the next chapter with his new family.
