(The cob formerly known as Clarence) super fun all rounder / hunting cob who is sadly offered for sale due to owner’s retirement. Jimmy was brought over from Ireland by us as a 4 year old, he was then sold to his current owners who have had him ever since. They are both now in their 80’s and hanging up their riding boots so he has returned to find his new hopefully forever home.
Jimmy has been a fun all rounder in his current home, his owners were regular subscribers with the Fitzwilliam hunt and he’s been well hunted by the whole family. He’s a cracking cob to hunt, stands quietly when asked, excellent at meets and happy to pop all hunt jumps. He absolutely loves the job and is safe but keen, he is always a little strong on his first canter out in the open but then becomes very easy. Adult daughter has intermittently taken him out both SJ and XC schooling, he enjoys his jumping and could go on to do all RC activities. Jimmy has mainly hacked and hunted with his owners so his flat work needs a little polishing off to do a dressage test, however, he is obedient and off the aids in the school when asked.
Out hacking he’s super, good both alone and in company and has been great in fairly busy traffic. He’s forward thinking but not really going anywhere with it and for this reason he’s not for a wobbly novice.
He’s very easy to have on the yard, happy to live in or out and good to box, shoe, clip etc. he’s up to date with everything and ready to go and have some fun. He has a couple of little handling quirks, can be a bit rude to lead in and out the field and needs someone horse savvy but this has been managed and not a problem with elderly owners. He’s a bit unsettled here atm with us and needs to find an understanding private home asap as hasn’t taken the change very well and likes to know his people! That being said he’s settling back in to his routine here quite quickly and we have him sussed handling wise.
Best home wanted who will drop old owners the odd message and let them know how he is.
Seen at livery.
