Looking for a needle in a haystack...
15.1hh - 16.3hh
Gelding
5 - 12 yr old
To event in the near future at BE Novice.
£8000 budget. Could possibly stretch for the right horse, but my bank balance is suffering after lots of vet treatment & transport issues recently!!
Open to ideas re. age and experience - I would consider something younger and ready to step up the levels or something slightly older and more established.
MUST pass a 5-stage vetting and x-rays (I have had 2x horses with kissing spine in the last 18 months, one of which had to be retired).
Must be good to do/polite in all aspects - clip, load (trailer or lorry), shoeing, teeth, catching etc, and no vices. Must also be able to live out in a herd with 3x other geldings and hack alone.
Preferably something forward going but not silly or sharp. Ideally a willing, genuine attitude - absolutely no rearing, napping, wild bucks (an occasional exuberant one is understandable), etc.
5* loving, forever home for the right horse - my horses want for nothing and enjoy doing a bit of everything, including Riding Club, hacking and competing in all disciplines. I am a UKCC L3 coach, PC AH & B+ test holder and have evented at BE100/PC100+, SJ unaffiliated at 1.10m and competed in BD up to elementary. Have spent the last 3 seasons side lined with no transport, kissing spine surgery/treatment and rehab so desperate to get back out, regain my own confidence (after explosive episodes with my retired eventer) and enjoy the sport again. More than happy to provide references (my own coach, vets, etc) and/or videos of myself riding and competing.
Based in Scotland but willing to travel.
