Honest advert for much loved horse
Ronnie is a 10 year old thoroughbred gelding, he raced in Ireland. He is looking for a home that doesn't want to jump, someone that wants to hack/dressage/endurance/show. The good bits: - Kind and loving, loves attention, being groomed, etc. - Has been good in all traffic. - He used to school beautifully, however he is currently out of work so this will take time. - He has been schooled by a 13 year old and he was a good boy. - He has never had a days lameness in the year that I have owned him, and with the previous owner. - Easiest horse ever to clip, has to be solo combed for his mane. The not so good bits - He has a tendency to nap, more so on his own. As far as nappers go he really isn't that bad, I have never not been able to get him past something and he always gives up pretty quickly with a kick/smack on the shoulder. - He spins when he naps, however it has always been really slow, never bad enough to unseat anyone. - He can act cold backed, however it has only been recently and I think it's my saddle. - He has had an excited buck before, however they are tiny! - He can be strong when galloping. - He can be protective over his food with other horses, always fine with people. - He is absolutely awful at jumping! Please no jumping homes, this will be written into a contract. He is not nasty, he just has absolutely no respect for the fence. I have trie so many times and he has put both of us in danger on so many occasions due to his mentality whilst jumping. I have tried for a year and have had no luck so please, you won't change him, this is how he is and it's not something that will improve. Hence why he will not go to that type of home. - He has slight anxiety problems and can not be left on his own in a field, stable is fine however he will box walk. - He is an absolute pig to load, lorry or trailer, however he travels okay. - Can be a bit ear shy, always been able to get a headcollar and bridle on though. - Does tend to loose a bit of condition in the winter but easy to maintain with feed, lives off air in the summer. Absolutely no novices, if you give an inch he will take a mile. No inexperienced homes, this is not first horse material. Absolutely no one that has any desire to jump. No dealers, homes will be thoroughly vetted. There will be a contract in place which I am happy to discuss further. He is sold from the field and is un fit, I will require videos of your riding. I paid £ for him a year ago, although I am very aware I am not going to get close to this I will not be accepting stupid offers as I don't want him being sold on. I don't want this horse passed from pillar to post, any problems and I will have him back straight away. Please no timewasters this is a hard sale as he is a tricky horse however he has so much to give the right person. Open to sensible offers, please give me a call to discuss further, phone calls only I won't be responding to messages. Read More
