  • Outstanding 4-Year-Old Irish Sports Horse Gelding

Rose Steel Grey.

If you’re searching for a genuine, talented, and eye-catching young horse — look no further.

This beautifully bred 4-year-old Irish Sports Horse gelding he is the full package.

Standing at 16.1hh, he boasts striking rose steel grey colouring, lovely conformation, and elastic, ground-covering movement.

He naturally carries himself in an uphill frame and gives you that all-important wow factor in the saddle — all while remaining sane and sensible.

 Flatwork:

  • Schooling well beyond his years — balanced, secure in the contact, and working confidently in a correct frame.
  • He has three expressive, rhythmical paces and would undoubtedly produce some beautiful dressage tests. Responsive to the leg without being sharp or lazy.

 Jumping:

  • Has been cross-country schooled with his owners, showing a bold, honest attitude. Recently attended showjumping training where he jumped a full course of fences, including fillers, with maturity and ease. He stayed in a consistent rhythm, took everything in his stride, and showed a great natural technique.

 Temperament & Suitability:

  • A genuine pleasure to have on the yard and to ride. He has all the basics established to a high standard and all the attributes to excel in a range of disciplines — whether that be grassroots eventing,
  • British Dressage, or as a truly flashy all-rounder. Lovely to a fence, snaffle mouthed, with a willing attitude and a kind nature.

 Hacking:

  • Brave and sensible out hacking — alone or in company. Has also been to the beach where he was happy to have a good canter along the beach with others.
  • This is a young horse with a brilliant brain and an exciting future ahead.

A rare opportunity to buy a well-produced youngster with talent, temperament, and trainability.

 Serious enquiries only, please — he’s too special to miss. As he is young we would like him to go to a home where he can continue his education.
