14.2hh Middle weight Cob Gelding in Wadhurst
We, after a lot of false starts, have regrettably come to the conclusion that we have to sell our gorgeous, handsome, kind hearted gelding. This boy is one in a million and is the sort that is very tricky to find and the sort you want to hang onto forever. He is only for sale due to major changes in our circumstances and we feel he needs more attention and consistency in his life. Barney is 11 years old and we have owned him (as a mother, daughter share) for over 2 years. He is very slow and will do anything for the simple life so unfortunately won't suit you if you're after something a bit more whizzy! Barney is bit clumsy in the school as he's not built for this kind of work and is happiest out and about, plodding the lanes, looking down peoples drives and being nosey! He is a real confidence giver and will only push his luck when he sees a patch of yummy looking grass that he might want a taste of! He requires a fair bit of leg to keep him moving otherwise he'll think, regardless if you've only just set off or not, that he's finished his work and can go home. He would NEVER tank off with you and has never bucked, reared, bolted with us or his previous owners. He loves his food and will be your best friend if you carry mints, carrots, biscuits or jam sandwiches with you! Good in traffic and on the roads with bins, dogs, lawnmowers, etc. Loves a fuss and is a big softy (even though he pretends he's not!) Great with the vet, farrier.. He is currently bare foot, has had shoes in the past and would need them again if he was worked more on the roads. Currently lives out 24/7 and prefers this but is very flexible and coming in won't phase him. Has lived on his own but would prefer company. Barney is very submissive towards mares and geldings and is always the one being pushed around in the field by the others so if possible would like a home with others that are friendly. He is very kind and we only want someone who can give him the love and fuss he deserves. We ensure that we are going to find him what we think will be the best suited people, in the best suited home and are in no hurry to find this. No time wasters please as this is hard enough as it is. Comes with tack and rugs.
