16.2/3 9yr old chestnut ISHXWB (by Caricello, out of an ISH hunting mare) –
Wellington is a vice free gentleman who has just completed his first Spring eventing with professional event rider, with excellent results (BE name Toneymore Cellano) – including winning the BE 90 Open at Larkhill and Littleton Manor, and has always been placed in the top third of the field in his BE 100s. He is not the finished article but is very willing, helpful and talented – he is extremely careful. Produced for eventing by top event rider and is a lovely balanced well schooled ride.
He hunted two seasons in Ireland (including field mastering as a 4 yr old!!), and three seasons with the Beaufort. He is snaffle mouthed, very independent (has been used for trail laying as well as in the field for all three seasons – great out on his own and is good out on point). Very careful and scopey, will trot and pop, queue, or pull out and jump your own place including gates/wire. He is an absolute pleasure to hunt and a real eye catching sort who fills the eye.
He is a proper horse with great quality and scope who deserves a good jockey / family to pilot and enjoy him.
First to see will buy, homes will be vetted – if at all possible I’d adore a family yard with varied lifestyle.
Completely vice free in the yard for clipping, shoeing, catching, loading, hacking alone or in company, great with traffic, dogs, general mayhem – just a straight forward relaxed boy.
His full history known from birth with a fan club who’d love to keep in touch if at all possible. I have owned him for three years.
This boy is an absolute treasure, he truly is as honest as the day is long. Never wanting to be unhelpful, only ever wanting to please + with the added bonus of being as safe as you can find, for a proper sized horse he really is a golden retriever in spirit.
He’ll be deeply deeply missed and if for one reason or another he does return back onto the market years down the line, I would very much like to have first refusal for him.
This decision to sell certainly hasn’t come lightly to me.
Only for sale as he’s showing more talent than I need – and with my niece and nephew showing enthusiasm for hunting I need something smaller to lead them off - he’s a true Rolls Royce.
