- Has the paces and trainability for BD Dressage
- Enough stride and scope over a fence for BS and BE
- Hunted in Ireland
A PROPER COB THAT LOVES HIS JOB!
Tornado is a fabulously smart 14.2 H, four year-old dun Irish cob.
This super looking chap, with his bright attitude and great work ethic has the potential to excel in any sphere with the right rider and ongoing training.
He has the paces and trainability for BD Dressage, enough stride and scope over a fence for BS and BE and he has had a couple of days hunting in Ireland!
Tornado has a friendly temperament, he is not a switched off ploddy chap, he has a wonderfully bright attitude without being strong or silly under saddle. He has a snaffle mouth and is very happy to trot into fences if asked.
Tornado goes out in the field with mares or geldings, is good to catch, leads in with his pals and while he doesn’t need riding every day (he is a baby after all), he loves to have a job to do.
Tornado is happy to lead the way out hacking, always with a smile on his face and he’s very straightforward to a fence. He wants to get you to the other side, he has a super technique with an impressive backend and the scope to move up the levels as his training progresses.
Tornado’s ideal partner is a confident, experienced rider looking for a dude of a cob to bring on to go out and slay the competition and be much admired whilst doing so!
With his joie de vivre, powerful paces, and his love of jumping he is a certainty for all Pony Club/Riding Club teams in the future and he certainly has enough horsepower to carry an adult, the riders in the pics/videos are between 5ft5 and 5ft7.
I think this super smart chap is also good enough to show and would look amazing hogged and clipped out.
Tornado is based here at Rabson Manor, SN4 9QF, please WhatsApp on 07888675300 for a chat about him and have a look at my Kerrie Fleming Horses Facebook page for loads more photos of him
UPDATE 14/03/24! TORNADO’S OUTING!
Now, I’m always so proud of all of the babies when they head out for their first arena hires, they are always so sweet and genuine. This chap though, there really aren’t enough words to describe how UTTERLY AWESOME he is. From the moment he loaded, travelled on his own munching his hay all the way, arrived, warmed up, strutted his stuff, travelled back and got back to his stable for a nap he was simply amazing.
His attitude to his work is just wonderful, he is bonny, bright and always happy in his outlook without being sharp, strong, spooky or silly under saddle, he loves to be getting on with a job and any questions you ask him are always answered in the right way with a big smile on his face. We always allow plenty of time when we are out and about with the babies, starting off with tiny fences etc, so that they are not ever over faced, watching him you would think that he was a much more established older horse.
Tornado absolutely loved his outing, took no notice whatsoever of any fillers, simply pinged the ditches, water and the fairly beefy steps and looked (as the Irish would say) deadly doing it.
He has a huge canter with the sort of rhythm we all aspire to and this carries through to his jumping. Also happy to trot into any fence he has plenty of scope and shows a massive amount of promise for the future in any sphere, flying floof being showcased spectacularly! This is a chap who absolutely loves his job. WHAT A COB HE IS.
