*top 16.1 chestnut gelding for sale* in Hayling Island
Gelding, 11 years old, 16.1hh TB Nev OR 'Rowaad' is a very attractive chestnut TB gelding by Compton place X level pegging X common grounds. This lovely horse turns heads wherever he goes. Having been schooled and produced with the help of Oliver Townsend as a youngster he has three extremely beautiful, uphill and well balanced paces. His flatwork is impeccable and he always rides a very nice dressage test. Nev has previously competed in BE and would make a superb grass roots eventer or equally would take any junior coming off ponies around a BE course. He is very brave and bold XC, jumps nicely through water, ditches, trakheners etc. Loves hunting and will go first or last. Doesn't fizz up or get strong and jumps anything put in front of him. He show jumps nicely and is extremely careful. Currently competing BN on a ticket with current rider. Ready to affiliate with next rider. Nothing fazes him in the ring and he will jump any filler no matter how spooky! Never stops. Although he has done a lot of cross country in the past, he is agile and talented enough to shorten his stride and complete a course of show jumps faultless. He is quick against the clock and can turn on a sixpence. Happy to jump on any stride and is very forgiving. Nev has the most fabulous temperament, is eager to please and extremely laid back. He has a very adaptable 'can do' attitude with a sensible nature. He responds to the leg making him extremely soft and gentle in the mouth. Although he has been schooled to have a very collected rhythm, he will happily step up a gear when asked. Has previously taken part in all PC activities. He is an absolute saint to hack out alone or in company. Sensible in the heaviest of traffic. Regularly participates in beach rides and fun rides. He is honestly the easiest horse to have on any yard - he will happily follow my six year-old sister out to the field and wait for her to let him go. He doesn't change if he hasn't been ridden for a couple of days and he will live in or out and will share fields with other horses. He will also stand patiently at a show all day. Happy to travel in a trailer or lorry. Good to hack/shoe/load/catch etc. All up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth. Would make a fab amateurs horse or for someone wanting to win. Equally would be suitable for a mother/daughter share, junior coming off ponies or someone wanting to learn the ropes of eventing. Extremely sad sale of this much loved horse however current rider wants to focus her attention on show jumping. First to see will buy. For more information and pictures etc please pm me, or call me on
