Atticus (Landcaster Lad)
16.2hh 5yr old (6 in July). Bay, Thoroughbred Gelding for sale.
I bought Atti in Sept 2022 as a 16hh 4yr old, backed and riding away. He had done a very small amount of race training as a 2yr old but never raced. I've brought him on slowly, and he's turned out to be a true gent of a horse, taking everything in his stride. He's done a bit of everything, has three lovely paces, and has shown great potential in all aspects. He's a quick learner who has a great attitude towards work. Always in the ribbons when competing dressage currently achieving high 60s to low 70s at prelim level. He's not the most careful when showjumping, but I'm sure it'll come with time. I'm currently popping around 80cm im competition and 90 at home. He has come to love XC and is getting bolder every time we go out. Really looks after the rider and is forgiving when things don't go to plan and is always snaffle mouthed. Never strong or silly.
Good to do in all ways, and no vices. He loads 100% of the time with a bucket under his nose and stands on my trailer or tied up to it perfectly when out and about.
Currently lives out 24/7 and does well over winter. Up to date with teeth, wormer, vacs, etc.
For sale as he isn't the horse for me, I love him to bits but unfortunately he is a bit more woah than go. But I am an adrenaline junky so dont think he's lazy, he's not! I know he will be someone's perfect ride and will progress further in any direction.
Being a 5yr old, he is still green and does have baby moments, but he has great foundations, and I would describe him as a been there done that for schooling but green for competition. He is spooky, but never anything nasty, I'm guilty for just laughing at him. Good to hack alone and in company, I mainly hack alone. Good with traffic, dogs, and open spaces.
Please don't be put off by how young he is, he rides like a 7 or 8yr old, I've put my heart and soul into producing him and he's well established on the flat in all three paces including lateral work. Currently working on shoulder in, travers, and being balanced through the mediums.
Really sad sale of a wonderful horse. No rush to sell as the right, knowledgeable home is most important. Open to multiple viewings and vetting. Can come with tack at an additional cost.
No novices, kids moving off of ponies or first-time owners, as I'd love for this boy to continue his education.
Please no time wasters, joy riders, etc
