He does have a history of behavioural issues when jumping and working over poles, including refusing, rearing and attempting to bolt. These behaviours were previously managed when he was kept in professional livery with ongoing behavioural support, but have since recurred and he shows a clear reluctance towards jumping and pole work.
For this reason, he is considered best suited to a flatwork / dressage focused home.
He is currently in professional training and working very well on the flat and continuing to demonstrate a genuine aptitude for dressage. Consistent, rideable and trainable in flatwork, he is presenting well both in the arena and in open spaces, demonstrating a calm attitude and good way of going.
He has no history of injuries and has been comprehensively assessed by vet, dentist, physio and chiropractor. The behavioural issues are not believed to be pain related. He passed a full 5-stage vetting prior to purchase.
He is currently living out 24/7 and is happy either stabled or turned out full-time. He is good to handle but does not like being left alone when tied up, so benefits from company. Hacks well and is comfortable working in open spaces.
Would suit a confident adult rider, a small professional producer seeking a quality dressage prospect to continue producing, or a small professional eventer looking for a project. He is not suitable for children, novices or nervous riders.
Good to handle, load, shoe and clip. Open to vetting. Sold with full disclosure.
