STUNNING, GENUINE YR GELDING
Sad sale of yr Skewbald Irish gelding. Casper has a temperament to die for, always happy to see you and loves attention. He has done a bit of everything, always with a smile on his face. Hacking β this is what he has mainly been used for over the last 3 years as this is his owners main interest. He is happy to hack on his own and in company. Good in traffic and used to seeing farm machinery. For the last 6 months he has been used to accompany a horse who is scared of all traffic and he has been great at this. A calming influence. Flat work β established in all 3 paces working in a soft, round outline. He is off the leg without being sharp. Lovely leg yield and always happy to have a go at anything new even if the directions from the rider are not always clear! Ready to go out competing. Jumping β a complete machine. He loves SJ and XC. Is not phased by fillers, water, ditches, water trays etc. Bold, careful and nicely forward but always ridden in a snaffle. Easy to control and turns on a sixpence if you ask him. Would be very competitive in a jump off but this is not something that his owner has been interested in. He stays on a line and would be perfect for PC/ RC teams. Very rarely touches a pole. Has done lots of fun rides which he thoroughly enjoys. Would make a great Eventer. Day to day handling β you cannot fault this guy. Easy to catch, shoe, ties up etc. Almost loads himself in a trailer (do not own a lorry but would not expect this to be an issue), has been taken out extensively for rides and is easy to manage on your own. Until recently he has lived alone with no issues but he is also happy with company. He is currently turned out with other geldings with no problems. The only thing he is not keen on is being clipped. That said he has been clipped every year with patience and no sedation. If you want an occasional plod around the block he is not the horse for you. If you want something who enjoys his work, to have fun on and come home with rosettes he would be perfect. Fit and ready to go for PC/ RC teams/ camp/ activities. Up to date with vaccinations, worming and shoes. A very sad sale as he has been in his current home for over 3 years. Only available due to a change in circumstances which has resulted in him, until a month ago, only being hacked a few times a week and he is totally wasted doing this. He is currently being used by BHS Stage 2 and above riders at a college where he has participated in daily lessons, BHS exams and assessments. A great favourite with the students and he has been a complete star during his time there. Β£ ono, tack available by separate negotiation. Read More
