I have made the difficult decision to offer my lovely 14-year-old, 16.2hh Warmblood x Thoroughbred Sports Horse for sale. I’ve owned him for the past year, but sadly I don’t feel we are the right partnership and I am holding him back. He deserves a confident rider who can help him reach his full potential. He loves his work, enjoys being mentally stimulated, and the more he does, the more he excels.
He has three lovely, balanced paces and has competed in dressage, where he is foot perfect and always tries his best. He has a beautiful canter and gallop, remaining calm and level-headed without becoming strong or silly.
He hacks happily alone or in company. If he’s unsure of something, he may stop and step backwards rather than rush forwards, but he’s never nasty or explosive. Just needs quiet calm forward riding.
He absolutely loves farm rides and really enjoys pole work. He has jumped up to 80cm whilst with us and has plenty of ability for me. He can lack confidence to a fence, so he benefits from a strong, confident rider who will ride him positively to the jump. If unsure, he may stop or run out. Occasionally he’ll give a little buck after a jump through excitement, but this is rare.
He loads well, although he can sometimes pause and step backwards before walking on.
Shod on the front feet only.
Up to date with all vaccines and dentist. Has regular massages.
He such a quick learner and so intelligent.
His only vice is that he windsucks quietly after eating, but this has never caused him any health problems or damage. He can get stressed in new situations..and he can become mouthy .. however calm, firm handling quickly settles him and he returns to being his usual kind self.
This is a genuine and heartbreaking sale of a much-loved horse. He has so much to offer the right person and would make a fantastic horse for someone wanting to enjoy hacking, dressage, farm rides and jumping. With a confident rider, I believe he has plenty of potential.
He is not a novice ride and living his best life would be dressage tests and schooling and jumping
Price includes tack.
