- Dreams of BD Petplan Championships?
- Aspirations of winning Working Equitation competitions but have a 1999 rather than a 2026 budget?
- Well then Sonny is your man!
15.2h, 9 year old Sonny is a registered British Sports Horse who is very sadly looking for his new home due to his owners non horse related injury.
Sonny has spent the last three years perfecting his fancy footwork. He is classically trained in Dressage, he’s working up to Medium level at home with established lateral work. He absolutely adores his flat work and loves to learn, putting his best foot forward at each and every session and looking a picture whilst doing so.
He works in a soft, correct frame, no tension or behind the vertical here, his canter transitions are some of the nicest I’ve seen and his halts are a sight to behold. His stretching/free walk will definitely garner great scores in the arena. Although established, Sonny has yet to compete BD so is a blank canvas points wise and he is an absolute certainty for Petplan/Associated Championships with the right rider.
‘What about the Working Equation you speak of’ I hear you ask?? Well allow me to tell you. Sunny has been extensively trained both in this field and on the flat by Marcia Wakeman, Classical Dressage and British Working Equitation Level 3 coach and he knows his stuff - as you can see from the video!
He has been lightly competed and highly placed in Working Equitation and he has winning potential. He is working at Novice/Inter B level at home.
Sonny is an incredibly happy chap with a super temperament and he always has a smile on his face. He loves his hacking out, he is fun and up for it but not strong, he canters in a group quite happily in front or behind. He can have the odd spook but he doesn’t have nasty bone in his body and it wouldn’t even register on the radar of a confident jockey whatsoever. He goes out in the field in a bunch and doesn’t mind if you take his pals away, he ties up patiently on the yard, he leads in in a group from the field and he is good to catch, box, shoe and clip.
In late 2024 Sonny had a vet issue – it was extensively investigated, successfully treated and signed off by top vets and then slowly and correctly rehabbed and he has been with me here on livery in full work for almost a year now. Please enquire for full details
All the pictures and videos on here were taken in the last few weeks.
Sonny is looking for his perfect pal to go out and have fun with strutting his fancy stuff between the whiteboards, he is good out at shows etc, ties up nicely to the lorry and waits around patiently. An experienced, confident rider will get so much joy out of him and for the reason mentioned above he is a lot of horse for the money.
Sonny is based in Wiltshire, SN4 9QF, please call/Whatsapp me on 07888675300 for a chat about him.
