6 year old approx 16.3hh chestnut TB gelding.
Elvis is a lovely, fun boy who is a pleasure to have around. He is well built - not your typical fine thoroughbred, with good limbs and strong feet. Has 3 rhythmical and balanced paces, is not strong and always snaffle mouthed. He also has a nice jump, unphased by fillers and will go off any stride. Happily jumps round a course of 80cm and has plenty of scope to go higher (rider has no desire to jump bigger!).
I have owned Elvis since he was 4 and I have allowed him plenty of time to grow and build the foundations of his education without rushing him. He has been out to clinics, dressage competitions, recently registered BD, showjump schooling and unaffiliated, cross country schooling several times last year which he really enjoyed including water, ditches and steps. He also went autumn hunting several times as a 4 year old and took to it well. Good to hack, I have never hacked him on my own as we have busy roads around here but he is good in traffic and will go in front or behind, occasionally he prefers to go behind if he meets something he hasn’t seen before but will happily follow past whatever it is.
Elvis would make a great all rounder/grassroots horse for someone or equally has the talent to be trained up the levels in any discipline. He has a great attitude to his work, and enjoys learning new things, I have recently began introducing some lateral work into his schooling which he is picking up quickly. He works nicely in an outline and is very rideable.
He is normally quite a laid back character and is easy to do on the ground. Good to catch. Leads in and out from the field either on his own or with others, ties up on the yard while I’m doing other jobs, good to have his feet trimmed and good to load and will stand in on his own if needed. I regularly take him out in the lorry on my own and have no problems, easy to manage away from home and tack up on the lorry etc. Will turnout on his own or with a friend. He lives out all summer and has daily turnout in the winter and is happy stabled overnight. Holds his weight well and I don’t have to feed him loads of food, just plenty of hay. I can also give him a few days off and get straight back on him with no problems.
He really is a lovely boy to have around and is really fun to ride, I have produced him slowly with longevity in mind and allowing his confidence to grow. I really think he will be a great horse for someone. He is also registered with RoR as he was in training but he has never raced.
When I first got Elvis he was very unconfident and if he was worried about something he would nap where he would either stand still or would run through his shoulder. Has never reared or bolted with me. Now his confidence has grown he hasn’t done this for some time and will take confidence from his rider instead, he has also been ridden by my friend and has always been well mannered for her. He just needs a calm, confident rider and he responds really well to this.
Sadly I just don’t have time for him and he really deserves a home where he can be the centre of attention and have a lot of fun with someone.
Happy to answer any questions, if I don’t answer the phone straight away please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can, I work shifts and can’t always answer the phone at work.
