Competitive Gentleman, Jumping & XC Machine
(Video Available - MESSAGE FOR VIDEO) 16.3hh, 11 year old, Irish Sport Horse Gelding. Alfie has 3 correct, uphill paces combined with a bold, scopey jump. Being typically Irish, passported at 11 years old, vets have suggested he is 2 years younger judging by his teeth. He is being sold through no fault of his own. His rider is currently doing her GCSE’s so sadly doesn’t have time for him. He has proven to be a delightful mother-daughter share in the meantime but with so much potential and a love for work, he deserves to go on and have a purpose! Alfie has hunted in Ireland and over here with the Blackmore & Sparkford Vale and the Taunton Vale Stag Hounds (for anyone who doesn’t know, they are both serious hunts with big jumps!) He has also been a reliable member of a successful Team Chase team. He is a fun, up the front, jump anything (ANYTHING!) hunter who lasts all day. He can be strong so is not a beginners Hunter. Having said this, he is hugely versatile and has proved his competence in all phases. Alfie is jumping consistently round 1m with the odd fence at 1.20m. He’s also working nicely in a consistent rounded outline with a soft, elastic contact on the flat. Alfie is a super genuine lad who tries hard to please in anything he does. He is a gentleman to manage on the ground. Hacks alone and in company. Easy shoe, clip, load, vet, travel etc. NO vices, sarcoids or bad habits. Good feet, straight moving (does not dish or plait) 100% genuine horse. He has taken part in many Fun Rides and Beach rides, often having to lead horses into water & over fences. Alfie has been to Pony Club Camp with a young teenage girl and done Area Eventing, Team showjumping and Hunter Trials with great success.
