• Well then Sonny is your man!

The Stupendous Sonny!

Now, you folks will remember this happy, handsome chap was advertised a couple of months ago.

The reason he is being re-advertised is through absolutely no fault of his own.

After he was advertised, his owner was then hoping she would actually be able to keep him (and I was very much hoping this would happen as she adores him and he was the perfect horse for her) but sadly due to circumstances changing, that couldn’t happen and so he is looking for his forever human to have a ton of fun and many adventures with.

His full ad is below. I must reiterate that he has been here with me for a year on livery, firstly starting his rehab correctly and then in full work. The absolute perfect partner for a confident, experienced rider with a limited budget to get straight out and enjoy dressage and working equitation, he is extensively, classically trained both under saddle and in hand (check out the pictures of the start of the Spanish walk!)

....

15.1h, 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.

The reason Sonny is not double the price he is is that he had a hind suspensory injury two years ago. After top class veterinary investigation, treatment with no expense spared and rehab carried out to the letter, he is sound and has been on livery with me for a year in full work. Due to his history his owner is open to sensible/realistic offers as the right home is the most important thing. He is a very special, happy boy who will bring someone a lot of joy.

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 love his happy attitude and have a long fun and success!

Sonny is based in Wiltshire, SN4 9QF, please call/Whatsapp me on 07888675300 for a chat about him.
