16.2 Dutch warmblood gelding
Very very sad sale of my Dutch Warmblood āBuddyā 16.2 Chestnut Gelding out of Oliver x Voltaire Buddy is the perfect allrounder horse, he has done sponsored rides, hunter trials, hunting, dressage, SJ & Unaffiliated eventing. He hacks alone or in company, is good to shoe, clip and travel, does not rear or nap etc. Buddy on his first unaffiliated one day event last year finished on a dressage score winning us second place at Elmwood, he will make a fantastic little eventer for a lightweight adult or experienced teenager moving onto horses, he is a cross country machine, jumps ditches, hedges, water, banks everything he is very forward going in XC and needs to be ridden in a gag or as such with a curb chain however schools at home and hacks in a snaffle, he is the kind of horse that has unlimited amounts of energy I have never reached a point where he has been fatigued hence making him the perfect little eventer, We have regular lessons with Austin O `connor and he advises Buddy is ready to affiliate. I have had Buddy since a 5 year old, I am selling as I need a bigger horse with more bone due to me being tall and quite heavy and i feel that i have always been too big and heavy for buddy hence why I ask for a lightweight competant rider, Buddy is NOT A NOVICE RIDE but he is not a dangerous ride either if you like them forward going then he is the horse for you, he is very sensitive goes off the leg easily he also does have a sensitive mouth but can be very strong in XC. Buddy is great around children and dogs he loads into a trailer but here is his negative point and why i feel he is going for such a competative priceā¦ Buddy weaves terribly if left in a stable for long periods of time, he also weaves in the trailer however i have stopped this by putting up a grill in my trailer, Buddy needs to be out as much as possible as for the past 2 years has been living out with no problem he is fine if you bring him in last at night and make sure he is first out in the morning, if you stick to a solid routine for him then you will have no trouble but if you leave him in during the day then he will start. This horse is a very sensitive soul and requires a calm and patient owner to get the best out of him, he doesnāt like change and thrives off of routine if you can offer him this security then he will be the right horse for you, he lives for one 2 one contact with both humans and horses and loves to be groomed, hugged and petted. I am trying to be as open and honest as possible other than that he has manners to die for. Please feel free to PM me any questions you may have please note this is a very hard decision for me to sell this quality horse but I just feel that he would do much better with someone else, I am proud to say i have got him to where he is now, note that potential homes will be vetted and I will not be letting him go to just anyone. Please note I am in no rush what so ever to sell this horse and will wait years if need be for the right home, he is priced at a value to which I feel he is worth, he is open to vetting but obviously will fail based on the weaving alone, he is fit and ready to go. Please please no novice riders, or anyone weighing over 75 kilos, or time wasters this is a very difficult decision as it is for me.
